CLIENT: Jackie Cunningham – Sewjackie
PROJECT BRIEF: Worked with ghostwriter, created manuscript, designed cover, typeset interior, published book & kindle on Amazon with a marketing strategy for launch
RESULT: Created a #1 Best Seller on Amazon.

WHAT THE CLIENT SAID: “Working with Clare on Rags to Stitches has been a really positive experience.

From the very beginning, she understood how important the book was and guided me through a process that was completely new to me. She was always there to answer my many questions, offer advice and keep everything moving towards publication.

Seeing my book finally published was an incredibly proud moment, and reaching Number 1 on Amazon in the Small Business category on launch day made it even more special. I know this would not have been possible without Clare’s guidance.

I’m so grateful to her for all her help, support and encouragement in turning my story into a published book. It’s been quite an experience, and I’m delighted that she was the person who helped make it happen.”

CLIENT: Wendy Hill – HillStart Nutrition
PROJECT BRIEF: Designed cover, typeset interior, published book & kindle on Amazon with a marketing strategy for launch
RESULT: Created a #1 Best Seller on Amazon.

WHAT THE CLIENT SAID: “Working with Clare was about so much more than simply getting my book published. She genuinely helped me get Nourish to Flourish over the line and turn what I had created into a book I am incredibly proud of.

Clare designed the interior beautifully, making sure that a book with a lot of information, practical advice and recipes still flowed well and was easy to read and dip in and out of. She had some brilliant ideas along the way for making it more engaging and appealing, and her experience of publishing meant she spotted things and suggested things that I simply wouldn’t have thought of.

But her support didn’t stop when the book was finished. Clare also helped me think strategically about the launch and marketing, and ultimately helped me achieve something I genuinely hadn’t expected — becoming an Amazon bestseller.

If you think you might have a book in you but aren’t quite sure how to turn it into something professional, polished and ready to sell, I’d absolutely recommend Clare. Having someone who understands the design, publishing and marketing side of the process made a huge difference.”

RESULT: Created a #1 Best Seller on Amazon.

WHAT THE CLIENT SAID:  “Clare has been a pleasure to work with on the designing and publishing of my first book this year. It was a big milestone for me, and I was daunted by the whole process, but from our first meeting Clare has made everything very straightforward. She broke the whole project down into manageable steps with clear timescales. She’s done a great job on the book design and navigated through the intricacies of Amazon! Her support for the marketing of the book was also invaluable, and I was delighted that this lead to the book being a bestseller at launch.

CLIENT: Craig & Jodie Bidder – Sami Tipi
PROJECT BRIEF: Designed cover, typeset interior, published book on Amazon
RESULT: Created a #1 best seller on Amazon
WHAT THE CLIENT SAID: “Clare was instrumental in helping us design and launch our book. She was an easy choice to make when it came to who we wanted to work with, she understood our brand, took the time to get to understand how we wanted the book to look and feel and worked with us relentlessly to get every detail right. Getting the book self-published on KDP wasn’t easy, but again Clare was patient and persistent in edits that were required to get it through their system. We were thrilled with the results and the book hit a Number 1 Best Seller title on Amazon when it was launched”
