SUCCESS STORIES AND AUTHOR INTERVIEWS

I would like to acknowledge the importance of the encouragement, guidance and support that Andrew has been in assisting me to complete my book, Carmen’s Legacy. This book has been the most ambitious and confronting project I have taken on since, as a family, we buried our daughter and sister Carmen (18), after we lost her in a car crash.

It has taken me 20-years to complete my book. I found myself in book writing limbo for years at a time. To write about Carmen’s death word by word, was an agonizing process that often became too much for me. 

Andrew must have a sixth sense because he would often contact me to see how I was going with my manuscript. He would encourage me to continue and would often advise me to take small but consistent steps. This helped me through many tough periods and put me on the path to where I could finally continue under my own steam and at my own pace. 

I now have a book that I am proud of and what makes me immensely proud is that Carmen’s three sisters Michelle, Katrina, and Jasmine, have all contributed a chapter. I can fully understand how Ange (Carmen’s mum), was unable to write a chapter. 

I know ‘Carmen’s Legacy’ will empower its readers, and I thank Andrew for his support and encouragement.

In May of 2020 I met Andrew through a podcast that I did with him about my first book.  I told him I was writing again but wasn’t sure of my target audience or really sure about going through a publisher.  He became an amazing mentor to me and had me understanding who my audience would be and that I could get my book picked up by a publisher.  In November that year only 7 months later a publisher told me he wanted to publish my book.  If it hadn’t been for the guidance of Andrew and the belief he instilled in me,  I think I would still be sitting on it or spending thousands of dollars to publish it myself.

Everyone has a book in them because everyone has a story.  If you want to write a book then Andrew is your person to guide you.  I wholeheartedly endorse Andrew Jobling “The Accidental Author”.

Writing a book and becoming a published author was one of my dreams for a long time. But I had no idea how to go about it. Though I started writing many times, I was not able to finish anything. Then, while settling down in Canada, I got to know about Andrew Jobling, a successful writer in Australia who was helping others to write. We got in touch and with his help and guidance, I was able to start writing once again. He nudged me here and there and set some goals every time we connected on Skype. At last, with his constant help, I was able to complete one book and self-publish it

Here it is!!! my book – “The Strength Within.” The end of an 11 year journey – I was going nowhere until I met Andrew Jobling. Just over 5 years to the day where I had my life changing meeting with Andrew who encouraged me and helped me believe in myself. Together we created my chapters and I went from there. This book would not be possible without him. Forever grateful. Thank you so much Andrew, you really do make people’s dreams come true!!

I have had the priviledge of working with Andrew as I rewrote my book and went through the publishing process. He has been amazing. He helped me through every step of the writing and publishing process and continues to help as I am beginning to market my book.

The thing I was impressed and appreciated the most is no matter what question I had or where I got stuck, he had answers. Many times it was lack of confidence or belief in myself. Then, Andrew would tackle that head on and move me through to the next step.

Andrew, having signed up for your offer “How to write a book” I must be honest I only completed assignment #1 before I deciding to start my book. I simply worked out my writing style as I went along.  It was your enthusiasm & encouragement in your regular emails that prompted me to bite the bullet & do something I had talked about doing for years.

Andrew, I Just wanted to say how much I appreciate all you have done for me in realising this dream of a published book. Your guidance and counsel kept me on track and focussed. Writing something became a natural part of every day life for me and suddenly, there was the finished first draft. It is a tremendously satisfying feeling being a published author. Thank you for everything. I am looking forward to the next part of the journey with you as a continue to write!

I initially came to learn about Andrew Jobling through an online 12-step writing program that I purchased from him in 2013. I completed most steps and created a plan for a book I wanted to write, but life got in the way and it never went further. When Andrew contacted me about 8 months later, he offered to mentor me one-on-one so that I might finally achieve my dream of being a published author. The one-on-one mentoring was so valuable to keep me accountable with my writing time, to keep my big goals at the forefront of my priorities, and to keep chipping away at all of the seemingly overwhelming tasks involved in writing, editing and publishing a book. Andrew guided me through the process and I felt I had a cheer squad behind me every step of the way. I never believed I was a good enough writer to be a published author, but Andrew helped me to have the confidence to find my voice and keep writing. Without his mentoring, I wouldn’t be a published author today – I’m so glad I took a chance and said yes to his one-on-one mentoring. I feel like my journey as an author has only just begun and the future is so exciting!

After reaping the benefits of journaling when I went through my own cancer experience – I knew it would help me again when I faced my husband’s diagnosis with an advanced form of non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. It didn’t take long for ‘loose chapters’ to form… that was when we felt we had something powerful to share. I realised I needed help to pull it all together and that is when I ‘stumbled’ across Andrew’s One Word at a Time online writing course The progressive nature of the modules seemed to subtly propel me further into the process – it felt like I had a personal coach by my side. It was a major key in shifting my writing from the confines of my computer, to a well crafted book that is now available from major outlets. Thank you Andrew once again.

There are countless obstacles along the way of writing a novel. Life itself was the biggest one for me I think. It took me nearly 4 years to finish my first novel ‘Einmal Sydney und zurück’. I changed the storyline so many times that I cannot even remember what the original idea looked like. I was quite unstructured and was just writing whatever I felt that day. I signed up for Andrew’s Online Writing Course because I was looking for guidance. With his modules I learned how to structure my storyline properly, how to not loose the big picture out of sight and how to finish the book despite all the obstacles. Today I hold my first novel in my hands and it makes me incredibly proud! Thank you so much, Andrew, for helping on the way!
