"Sarah is both a breakthrough and writing coach to me. I met her in 2022, in the midst of difficult challenges from moving countries, facing a career switch and dealing with significant loss in my family. Yet with all this, I wanted to write a book! Our conversations were deep, reflective and meaningful. Sarah helped break down my overwhelm and imposter syndrome and allowed me to find my voice again.
I will be the first to admit, I’m a case of contradictions and not the easiest to coach, but Sarah leads by example. I appreciated her honesty, authenticity, simplicity and determination to get things done; as well as her gentle yet encouraging manner and how she held me accountable for all I commit to do. With her, I have gained clarity and awareness whilst writing my book, and best of all, she has helped me stick to my truth.I will continue to reach out to her for future projects. She is an experienced writer I respect, a coach with depth and insight. Simply a beautiful human!"– Liza Van Quintos

"Sarah is such a friendly, enthusiastic and supportive coach who I can’t recommend highly enough. She was always bubbly & positive each time we met on zoom and quickly put me at ease. After each coaching session I was more confident in taking the next steps and felt like I had a helping hand along the way with Sarah’s expert guidance. She gave me invaluable advice which helped me progress my book in manageable chunks.Sarah’s zest for life is catching and I'm so glad to have found her as my coach.”– Carol Pollard

"I have just finished my author journey with Sarah and I can honestly say she has been such an integral part of my progress. I started off with zero confidence and I really never believed I could publish a book. Sarah not only helped me with the practicalties of writing and publishing, but also helped me find my voice and my magic!She has such a passion for what she does and genuinely cares about the people she coaches. She always provides such constructive criticism and has saved the day for me many times when I had random queries at all hours of the day! I can't thank Sarah enough for her coaching and I will miss our calls and her infectious enthusiasm for everything.Thank you Sarah for helping me put the Magic into my book Magical Me."– Fiona Gubbins

"If you’ve ever thought of writing a book then Sarah is so encouraging and motivational. Her attitude is that, you can do it! Let everyone know that you are writing a book.Sarah is a published author and speaks from direct experience. Without Sarah, my book would not have been completed and Sarah encouraged me to move out of my comfort zone and as a result I became more confident and I started to believe I could write, publish and sell my book.I can say that I am a published author of my memoir Sink or Swim and I am extremely proud of my success and all that I have achieved. Without Sarah’s encouragement and coaching this would not have happened. Sarah also hosted my online book launch which was a great success.”– Lynne Given

"Sarah brings a lot of energy and value to her coaching sessions. As a published author, her insight and knowledge about the process of publishing was exactly what I needed. Sarah was very supportive and encouraged me to be realistic and to take achievable steps. I loved being coached by Sarah and left every session feeling inspired and ready to go for it!"– Lizzie Lawrence

"Sarah is a very friendly coach. She always put me at ease and took the time to build a relationship with me which made it easy to talk about personal challenges and limitations with her. Sarah challenged me to think outside of the box but in a non-confrontational way and I always left our sessions motivated to take action. I enjoyed our sessions as I knew that I would come away with a clear path to help me achieve my goals."– Ruth Weaver

"First and foremost I want to thank Sarah for being an honest coach, which allowed me to receive her feedback positively and make the necessary changes to my book. When we met on Zoom she was both serious and lighthearted which made me comfortable and at ease, and as a novice at writing books, I was glad I chose Sarah as my coach, because I received more than expected. I definitely felt more equipped and confident after my sessions and would recommend her services to anyone who wants detailed feedback and sound advice."– Paulette Tyson

"It was a great opportunity to have an objective overview of my plans and goals. Sarah skillfully unpicked my ideas and helped me focus and prioritise. I was able to create a timeline for my objectives and she helped me believe I can achieve my dream. We Identified my most comfortable social media platform and how to have impact, by being consistent. Sarah helped me realise that writing a book is just the start and where to focus my attention when trying to develop my presence."– Kaye Patten

"I met with Sarah in person for my coaching session, which was fantastic! Sarah is an amazing coach, wonderfully warm, enthusiastic, joyful and lovely to talk to. Sarah helped me structure and improve my writing technique, giving me guidance and support. Sarah elevates you inside. When I had my session, I was struggling with editing my book, getting the tone right for children and generally feeling like a bit of a failure. Sarah changed all that, the first thing you see of Sarah is that beautiful catching smile she has! You can’t help but smile back. My spirits were lifted and we discussed all the problems I was having in detail. Sarah could see things I couldn’t, she helped me see my work differently. What she did was remarkable. My book is so much better now."– Jackie Winnell

"My session with Sarah was invaluable. I had written my children’s book draft, but needed bit more guidance and where it maybe wasn’t working so well. Working with Sarah helped me look at my writing a bit more objectively. She also helped guide me to focussing on the other aspects of getting my book published and not see it as ‘too much to do’. She outlined some things to do now, some to work on later, so it wasn’t overwhelming. I came away very bouyant, positive and ready to tackle the next stage. Sarah is so positive, helpful and encouraging. It was a lovely, fun, friendly and relaxed experience. Her enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks Sarah."– Dee Holley

"I had coaching at a time when I was lost in my writing. I was confused which story I should write, the direction I should go and was falling deep into procrastination. Sarah came along and shone the brightest of lights as her coaching felt positively magical. She fully listens to your needs and shows great empathy. She’ll then relax you and almost feels like she takes your hand in her coaching skills and guides you forward in her friendly, warm, trusting comfort. Sarah gave me hope and confidence to move forward with my chosen book choice. I am already twelve chapters into my young adult fantasy fiction book and only a few chapters from completion and she’s been there with me all along. Genuinely can’t praise and recommend her enough as she goes above and beyond to help."– Paul Underwood

"Sarah made me feel at ease, as though we had been friends for years. The advice was positive and helpful she understood my concerns and talked me through my questions giving advice and suggestions. I would highly recommend Sarah and not hesitate to get back to her for a further session if and when I felt I needed more help. Very enjoyable experience, thank you Sarah."– Gaynor Weatherley

"I have found Sarah to be an excellent coach and mentor, she has really helped me to move forward with my book. Helping me to focus on different areas and different ways of structuring my writing. Sarah is always super motivating and enthusiastic, being happy to share her own experiences which really helped me. She is very encouraging and gave excellent constructive advice for me to be able to move forward."– Gail Cooper
