"I took Deborah’s Author Your Book Course. I was at a stage in my book where I hit the wall. I met with Deborah privately who brainstormed with me on the message I was trying to convey. I did not have a solid title yet and Deborah helped me to see how important that was. Once I got the right title, the whole book came together. I am grateful for her insight, guidance and ability to see the whole picture"

The problem is that all of these books expect you to follow the author's dream, the author's plan, the author's timeline, the author's goals." Read More.

"When I first started with my publishing coach, Deborah S. Nelson, I did not even know how to cut and paste. I was at a kindergarten level in the presence of a Masters’ degree teacher. After eight or nine months, I have made it to the third grade and progressing all the time. However, Deborah, patiently, has given me the skills I need to publish my second book within one year. Deborah possesses an ocean of skill and wisdom which she readily shares." Read More.
