"As a rapidly growing business, we decided to work with a professional ghostwriter to write our first book about our experiences with our clients and our overall approach. To start, we had a jumbled outline, a mess of notes, and random recordings that attempted to capture our process of working with our clients. In short, it was a mess, but one we were very passionate about and believed could be really powerful if made coherent. While the book was always intended to be a showcase of our values, our mission statement, and a way to engage with a passionate community, we never imagined how well Amanda would capture our voices, provide insights to our process, and produce such a fantastic manuscript to showcase how we do what we do. What we gained from working with Amanda on our manuscript was more than just a finished book - the process of crafting a text with such a talented individual allowed us to come away with a clearer understanding of our priorities. We are so grateful for this process and what we learned about our own business through working with Amanda."

"It was a pleasure working with Amanda. On one of my recent writing projects, she provided thoughtful and encouraging feedback that helped me refine my ideas and ultimately get published. What I especially liked about working with Amanda is how she offered extensive feedback without being mean. This was important to me because I have always been reluctant to let other people read my work out of fear of being judged. I highly recommend Amanda!"
