John L. says, "Editors Sean and Asher have been a pleasure to work with. They've supported me through every step of my project with professionalism, good judgment and a level of dedication that's hard to find. They listen, they communicate and they always follow through. They've made a complicated process feel manageable and I value the respect and care they bring to their work. I'm glad to have them on my team."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

Hollie B. says, "I can't recommend Dr. Malcolm S. Carter-Harris highly enough. He helped me through the final stages of my dissertation, tightening my arguments and clarifying my methodology without losing my voice. His feedback was always specific and actionable, never condescending, and he kept me on track during a stressful time. After defending, I came back to him for help with my resume. He transformed my CV into a resume that actually highlighted my skills for the role I wanted. I got the position, and I genuinely believe his work made the difference. If you need someone who knows academic writing and can help you present yourself professionally, he's the person."See more

TeQuilla H. says, "The business plan writing services I received from Roosevelt Writes were nothing short of outstanding. From the very beginning, the team was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping me shape a strong and realistic business strategy. Eric, in particular, was incredibly cooperative and patient. He took the time to understand my goals and provided valuable guidance every step of the way. He listened carefully to my ideas and challenges, and made sure the final plan reflected my vision while also meeting the expectations of potential funders. What I appreciated most was the clarity and structure they brought to the process. Everything was explained thoroughly, and they kept me involved and informed from start to finish. If you are looking for a team that is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and truly dedicated to producing high quality work, I highly recommend Roosevelt Writes. They made what seemed like an overwhelming task feel achievable and empowering. TeQuilla H."See more

Eva was fantastic! I would recommend her HIGHLY for her professional editing and proofreading services. I had to find someone fast for a special book project I'm currently working on. She listened to what I needed and did exactly what I asked her to do. The work was done in the time frame I asked for and was EXTREMELY professional and VERY helpful. Eva, I sincerely thank you for helping me!! By the way, I'm going to be calling you soon because I need your editing services again! Indy
