Pearl J. says, "I eventually reached out to GW after months of searching for the appropriate grants for our nonprofit. I spent two hours with their consultant, who thoroughly examined our activities and mission. They helped us choose which grant possibilities to pursue first and unearthed options I never would have discovered on my own. Two grants have been obtained six months later. It was well worth the initial consultation price."See more

Kenya P. says, "# A Testimony of Intentionality, Accountability, and the Power of a Trusted Book Coach **A Heartfelt Testimonial for Ashley Smith, CEO & Founder of In Her Own Ink** My experience with Ashley Smith of, In Her Own Ink, has been nothing short of extraordinary. As I continue embracing my, Next Chapter, though, PAIN HAS A VOICE, I have experienced a remarkable level of accountability, intentionality, professionalism, and forward-focused guidance. Ashley embodies the rare balance of being both **professional and relational, insightful and patient, yet intentional and accountable. She understands that coaching an author is about far more than putting words on paper. It is about creating a safe, confidential, and trusted space where a writer's truth, intellectual property, creativity, and personal experiences are respected, protected, and nurtured. What I appreciated most was her ability to honor both the process and the person. She remained accountable to our time, knew when to redirect a conversation, when to challenge my thinking, and when to lovingly say, *"Let's step back and revisit this tomorrow or another day."* That level of discernment is not simply a professional skill; it is a gift. Ashley is a woman of wisdom, insight, and extraordinary intentionality. She has a unique ability to draw out the very best of a writer's truth, voice, and God-given gift of the pen, helping transform deeply personal experiences into words that are both **eloquent and transparent, powerful and authentic. Writing a book is much like giving birth. It requires vision, patience, preparation, courage, and someone who understands the significance of what you are carrying. Not everyone is equipped to help you deliver what has been planted within you. Ashley Smith understands the assignment. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashley to anyone who is carrying a story, a message, or a manuscript that is waiting to be birthed. If you are seeking a Book Coach who will honor your voice, protect your vision, challenge you with purpose, and walk alongside you with integrity and intentionality, I encourage you to partner with someone who is as committed to the delivery of your literary vision as you are. For me, that person has been Ashley Smith. Because when your pain has a voice, your story deserves to be heard, honored, and handled with care. With gratitude, honor, and heartfelt appreciation, Kenya "The Visionair" Phillips** Author, PAIN HAS A VOICE*"See more
