Susan M. Heim, author "It’s Twins! Parent-to-Parent Advice from Infancy Through Adolescence"

Jenniffer Weigel, "Stay Tuned: Conversations with Dad from the Other Side"

Dr. Lisa Love, author, Beyond the Secret: "The Spiritual Use of the Law of Attraction"

"I have so enjoyed working with Bettie.  Beyond simple securing contracts for my books, she helped me focus on my career as a whole.  She is a mentor and consummate professional.  She has a great deal of integrity and knows the industry and the field.  And she is just a warm, intelligent, and radiant human being whom it is a pleasure to know."

 

Barbara Metzler, author, "Passionaries: Turning Compassion into Action"

"Thank you for writing the foreword and for all your support and advice on Passionaries, Bettie. It was invaluable!"
 
Diana Hoppe, M.D., Physician and Author "Sex, Love and Libido: A Woman's Guide to Managing the Hormonal Roller Coaster"

"It was a surprise to me to discover the very lengthy process of turning out a good book. I knew what I wanted to write, but converting my idea into solid content, with an eye on keeping the reader interested and engaged, is an entirely different dimension of consideration if your book is to be a success. Even when you've completed writing your book, getting bookstores to commit to adequate advance sales, and then making sure these books get out the door and into the hands of the reader are steps the author needs to plan up front. I found having Dr. Youngs serve as coach and mentor on my book was simply invaluable. I learned so much. And setting my book up for success right from the get-go makes sense to me."

 

Jennifer L. Youngs, author "Moments and Milestones Pregnancy Journal" 

"I so thoroughly enjoyed working hand in hand with a coach in the development of my book—from the process of honing my theme to insuring that I was turning in the manuscript the publisher was expecting. It was also particularly helpful to me to have someone 'translate' the 'fine' print of my book contract, and to have the help interfacing with the publisher of my book once the book itself was turned in. My coach helped make the process a really good experience."
