Testimonials

Aimee, I LOVE your story. So honest! And I’m a firm believer in “willing” what you want into existence. ~ Monica M.

This webinar is full of truths that ring clear as a branch full of bells on a windy day - truly and cumulatively inspiring. I feel just that more ready to send that cold-call query email, to keep writing podcast work without pay or audience, to keep working out ideas while grinding away at tasks we'd rather not do. Thank you very much indeed! ~ Steve W.

Thank you Aimee. Your comments about taking the book from a straight forward delineation of events to flushing out Chickie's perspective and character journey were very helpful. ~ Laurie W.
