“As a new author, I knew little about how to write, organize, publish, or market my book. Kathy led me out of the dark and into the sunshine of owning my story and becoming a published author! Kathy patiently read and re-read my manuscript, adding a perfect phrase here, restructuring a sentence there, contributing to my message that continues to reap high praise from readers and attract clients to my coaching practice. She is a leader in her field and a valued key to success for new authors.”

“Kathy Sparrow, I cannot express the depth of my appreciation. Thank you for seeing the potential in me and spending the time to be my coach, helping me to find my writing voice, and for being my mentor, guiding me in the world of the written word. And thank you for partnering with me to get this book published. There will be more!”
~ Mara Karpel, Ph.D., Author of "The Passionate Life: Creating Vitality & Joy at Any Age"
“I met Kathy at a Jack Canfield seminar a decade ago, and a couple of years ago, I came across her business card. I contacted her, and she became my writing coach. But she was so much more than that. She took me through a process to help me write this book that I have been trying to write for over 30 years. Every two weeks, a new chapter was due, and we'd edit the previous chapter. Page by page, chapter by chapter, I finally got through the hardest book I will ever write. This process was therapeutic! As I write this, I am actually tearing up. It was the hardest thing I have ever done and yet so rewarding, and she was there with me every step of the way. She's worked with some of the best. I owe Kathy more than you can imagine and am thrilled to call her not only my writing coach but a dear friend!”
