“Amanda and I met when I was looking to author a book. That was all. Just a book. I had no concrete idea what this book would be about or the purpose it might eventually serve, but I was determined to write a book. My sights were set on this dream in childhood, and it was time. Boy, was it time—time for a massive tearing down and reconstruction of my personal and professional life through the words and stories that would flow out of me. I had no idea, nor even ventured to consider, that this book I had always wanted to write would right my world, in ways that no other form of education or therapy or medication or inspirational seminar or guru could. Narrative therapy on steroids, anyone?

Three years of working with Amanda flew by. There were in-person retreats at wondrous locations, in-town retreats at cozy coffee shops, and online retreats in my jammies at home. In the process, I was gifted with a community of like-minded messengers, which served as a lifeline through the process, and continues strong now with the lifelong friendships that were formed.

Once the book was written and edited, it was time to launch and I needed a trustworthy, skilled, and seasoned team to see my hard work through. I never dreamed I would actually author a #1 bestseller. But alas! Here I am, and so I did, thanks to my own perseverance and the solid dedication of the A-Team (aka Amanda, Alyssa, and Aaron) who picked me up when I tripped and carried me over the finish line to celebrate our victory."

By the time we got there, I had a newly branded website, more diverse services established in my clinical practice, a bigger and clearer message, increased opportunity for revenue and impact, and a new business plan that lit a fire in my belly.

The SBS Team helped me accomplish what would not have been possible on my own. Each member with their own distinctive and valuable talents that blend together to create an effective and efficient well-oiled machine to get the job done. This team works in a way that is unique to each business and individual’s ideas and plan. They are relatable, accessible, and worth every cent.”

“I was Saved By Story team's first international author, but I did not have a single hesitation in signing up with them. I had already been working with the team on my manuscript, and from everything I had experienced with them, I knew the level of integrity, support, guidance, and honesty I could expect on this journey. And it has been all that and more. As a publisher, they care deeply about getting your message out into the world and they spare no effort in doing so. For me, working with a heart-centered team is much more valuable than working with a big structure. If that resonates for you, look no further. You may very well have just found your publisher!”

"Working with Saved By Story publishers made the entire journey through the publishing process so much easier. From the beginning, when I wrote the first words to my book, I could envision the summit--me holding my book in my hand, seeing it in bookshops, giving book talks. But the pathway from inspiration to publication was so much more difficult than I could have imagined. Through all the pitfalls and heavy challenges, Amanda and her team were there to hold my hand, explain that everything I was going through was a normal part of the process and, most importantly, continually remind me that there was a summit and I was going to reach it. Authorship can be a lonely journey, yet SBS provides an entire community of authors who feel like a supportive family throughout the process. A benefit that cannot be praised enough!

I absolutely could not have finished the book without the SBS team. They were friendly, supportive, professional, and knew when I needed a push or a hug. Each step of the publication process was explained in detail, and they were always on time and gave me all the attention I needed, making me feel like I was their only client.

I’m already working on my next book and wouldn’t consider going anywhere else for my publishing journey because I know, even when things seem really hard, they will be there for me to help me through."

"Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is…” I love this scene between Yoda and Luke in The Empire Strikes Back because it speaks to knowing who you are and where your power comes from. In reflection, it comes to mind when I think of the Saved by Story team. SBS is a small but mighty team that you will quickly find is tapped into a positive, unstoppable energy of using story to amplify new ways of thinking aimed at making a powerful difference for humanity. I was impressed and immediately put at ease by the creative energy and partnership Amanda brought to my vision. I never felt like I was being asked to say something I didn’t want to say, and I was taken by the discipline with which the editorial team worked to maintain my vision while making sure the books were as readable as possible for my target audiences. It may sound cliché but it is true all the same... the process was a magical experience!   

Saved by Story has a command of the publishing space and process. They have translated that knowledge into fulfillment structures and a talented team that made a huge difference in my ability to generate, organize, and refine my ideas into not one, but two books, to maximize and accelerate my impact. They provided sound strategic advice on pricing, positioning, and promotions. They also have fulfillment structures that helped me think about how to leverage the book to bring my vision to life in the world. In my case, their marketing team helped me develop my first website and they helped me engage my community in a crowdfunding campaign. They have been great partners! I strongly encourage new and existing authors who have a message that brings healing, new ways of thinking, and other ideas with the potential to benefit humanity to consider working with Saved by Story."
