- Dennis Juarbe, New York, NY

I had my idea for a children's book since my girls were little, and now they are done with college!

"I never wrote it because I didn't know the proper formula and strategy to write it… so it collected dust until Heather's expertise popped into my life!

Heather helped me with her course with a straightforward step-by-step approach to take the overwhelm out of getting the idea out from the head and onto the paper.

My book is done now. Once I had proper guidance, writing my book was easier than I had imagined. Finally, I was able to come out with a professional final draft to submit to publishers!"
