What Our Authors are Saying

I had the joy of working with a book coach, Lois Hoffman, who was committed to my success. She gently prodded and nudged me towards what I said were my goals. Her enthusiasm and encouragement infused me with confidence. Lois held my hand every step of the way until I held my 1st book, Embracing Autumn, in my hand. If you are ready to write a book, don’t travel the road alone. Lois Hoffman will be your ready companion until you are finally a published author!

Donna Duffy, Author of Embracing Autumn

It took me a long time to imagine not only that I could write a book but also that I could get it published. Fortunately, a friend recommended Lois Hoffman of The Happy Self-Publisher and that enabled my project to take off. Lois has the skills to prepare a book for publication but also helped immensely when it came to my own reservations about whether my book was publication-worthy. The feedback and encouragement that she provided were key factors in helping me reach my goal. I recommend Lois highly.

Charles Lutz, Author of Kensington Chronicles

I just wrote my first book and had absolutely no idea what to do or where to go with my project.  I found Lois through Social Media, and I must say she made my adventure effortless.  She is amazing, so easy to speak with, her follow through is top shelf.  She connected me with all the right people required to get my book published.  My book got published and I could not be more pleased.  The book cover, (100% Lois) is so amazing that I did not consider anything else.  She took the flavor of my book and matched it to a cover that was just perfect.  If you have a project and have no idea how to move forward, please try Lois.  The best I can say is when I write my next book, she will be the first person I call.
