“Listen, working with Felice Laverne as my Author Coach on my book proposal was an absolute saving grace for my dream of becoming an author. From those initial coaching conversations to the final book proposal submissions, she was there every step of the way, making this whole thing feel way more manageable than I ever thought it could be. ”
Chianti Lomax’s full statement below:
As a first time author, the process, itself, felt extremely intimidating, but Felice coached me through my own limiting beliefs with a lot of patience and reassurance. She really helped me find my true voice as a writer and made sure that I never felt alone. Also, I feel like Felice always just knows what to do. It's like she's got this sixth sense for this literary game. Every single potential publisher I sent my book proposal package to was not just impressed – they were totally blown away.
So, if you're looking for someone to guide you through the overwhelming process of becoming a published author, I can't recommend Felice Laverne enough. It's not just about the end goal with her; it's about having a phenomenal co-pilot for the entire ride. Thanks for everything Felice. You’re a godsend!
“Truth be told, I couldn’t have done it without the invaluable guidance I received from working with Felice Laverne as my Author Coach. She helped me win a publishing contract with Hay House through her guidance on writing my book proposal, then coached me through writing my first book! Simply stated...she is phenomenal!”
Tammah Watts’ full statement below:
Within minutes upon meeting her, I knew that her expertise in the literary profession, coupled with her engaging warmth and honed skill for listening deeply, would prove essential in order for me to accomplish my writing endeavors, especially since I was a new writer and aspiring author. She created a working relationship that felt collaborative and supportive with constructive feedback.
I will share with you what I said to her upon learning that my book proposal had been selected to be published: “I know for sure that having you coach, support, encourage, brainstorm and edit my way through that arduous proposal is what helped make my vision a reality. And I am forever grateful for it.” I know our paths will intersect again. And indeed, I am looking forward to working with Felice again, and so should you.
“Working with Felice was a blessing I never expected. I initially hired her as an Author Coach to help me organize and complete my book draft but got so much more. I am in awe of how quickly she helped me turn my book from an idea to a body of work that will soon be read by others. I am immensely grateful to have found a partnership and friendship in Felice and would absolutely recommend her to other aspiring authors.”
