When I found Write By Night, I was desperate for some help with what I knew to be a worthy memoir…read more No one understood what I was attempting to do. I was not writing a book of poems. I was writing a memoir in verse because I cannot totally describe every detail of my surroundings from birth to 14 years in an abusive religious cult. Telling a story in verse allows me to tell the truth of it. I did not want to create filler lines to present a book written in traditional prose. I submitted 300 pages of an unfinished manuscript to Write By Night in June of 2019. They paired me up with an award winning poet, John Sibley Williams and over the next year an a half, while working full time as a Registered Nurse, wife, mother, grandmother, on call healer to a family of over 300, disrupted schedules and work expectations during the COVID pandemic, he helped me streamline that manuscript. He let me know when I lost him in vague thoughts, reined me in when I got too wordy, tried to write the story the way I want people to understand, helped me see that all I needed to do was tell my story and let my readers figure out the rest. He never missed a scheduled appointment. We met on Skype and Zoom. He critiqued what I submitted in writing and constantly encouraged me to continue. I almost gave up during the COVID crisis. John gently reminded me of the impact written words had on my life and how they pulled me from near loss of reason as a child. Finally, using Write By Night and John Sibley Williams, to research potential publishers and create a package of letters to submit to them, my lack of knowledge, did not become a hindrance to my publishing efforts. I submitted to 23 publishers on 12/23/20 and I was picked up by Adelaide Books by 01/14/21. My book, "The Serpent's Tail, will be released in January of 2022. I am humbled and grateful for this. I was able to do it with the professional, friendly, and super informed efforts of Write By Night and John Sibley Williams. Because of them I can say this....... Thank You! Deb Thibodeau, Author!

Like most first-time authors, I thought about writing my book for years. When I heard about…read moreWriteByNight, I knew having a coach would get me to the finish line. After working with my coach, Marie Curran, for several months, we came to the conclusion that despite having 50 pages done, I needed to start over. I could have given up at the moment, but having Marie on my side kept me positive and motivated. I'm well into my second rewrite, and I'm so grateful for Marie's astute insights and expertise. Each comment has helped pull the story out of me and made my writing better. She will be front and center on my "Special Thank You" page! I also appreciate WriteByNight's protocols and pricing. I feel that David is genuinely dedicated to supporting writers.

I found Laura through LinkedIn's ProFinder service. My proposal was for resume writing as my resume…read moresorely needed to be updated. I chose Laura's proposal because it was the most reasonable considering her extensive experience. After reading her reviews, profile, and website, I had confidence that Laura was the right choice for me. And I am so happy I did. First, Laura was a pleasure to work with. She is super responsive, responding to questions within the hour, if not immediately. Second, she has great insight and provided me with constructive feedback. Third, she did stellar work on my resume. Although I was hesitant to move to a 2-page format, she assured me it would work given my career change & employment history. And she was right. After she did such a great job on my resume, I contracted her again to update my cover letter. Again, she did a phenomenal job. The results speak for themselves: in the past month of job hunting, I have been contacted by 5 organizations for interviews. I've never had such a response before, and I think it's fair to say the fantastic response is due to Laura's great work. I highly recommend Laura & Accentuating Service.

As soon as Laura told me about her new venture, ACCENTUATING SERVICE, I instantly had in mind a list of projects, each completely different from the next, that I would love to hand over to her, from conducting a personnel search, a career coaching project for a recent college grad, coordinating a real estate renovation project among several vendors and landlords, leaving an important household chore in her care at an art & antique filled apartment, arranging restaurant and entertainment reservations for an elderly couples' anniversary weekend in New York. That list doesn't scratch the surface of Laura's ability to get things done, whether large, small, simple or complicated, your project will be done well, done right, done efficiently at a completely reasonable rate, well worth freeing your mind and time. Laura's style is to be on top of the situation, in touch and informative, humorous, and honest. She must whistle while she works. I'll report back on specific results, but I know after 20+ years and scores of projects Laura has done for me, ACCENTUATING SERVICE will be my first and last call when I want to move things off my calendar, simple as that.

I shelled out 3k so you don't have to…read more.. I haven't needed a resume nor been on a job interview for almost 10 years, and I was making a career change. I did need help, and for some reason I thought the more money I spent, the better assistance I would get. Not the case! First off, Resume Strategists charged me 3,000.00 for a resume, cover letter and linked in profile because they said I was "mid career". The resume process took about a month. The way they worded some of my accomplishments definitely sounded better than what I had originally. However, the overall result was that I sounded like the most lowest common denominator Office clone. I sent out about 20 of their version and got ZERO response. I then went over my resume and noticed that I had a history of collaborating with different teams to accomplish projects. I bumped up my summary and added some more details and got ONE response. Resume Strategists FAILED to quantify or qualify any of my accomplishments (I did that and they didn't even ask for numbers) and they FAILED to see a pattern of cross-functional team collaboration and highlight that in the summary. Some of the resume revisions I could tell hardly any thought went into them at all. The linked profile? what a joke, just a regurgitation of your resume. The cover letter - they give you one final version. Frankly, the cover letter sucked. It was, again, my resume regurgitated. And the "career counseling" - is the most average, basic info that is easily found by doing an internet search. They do not have any inside knowledge or cutting edge information. And in the final meeting, we barely got into the interview questions because we went over on time. Which they promptly stopped at the allotted time because they had someone else to price gouge waiting. You don't work with Alyssa, who is touted on their website. I never even met her. And they have very nice full floor office in midtown Manhattan. Now I know why the price is so high! Gotta meet that overhead for the swank office. Knowing all I know now, this is how I would approach writing my resume. Having an objective person or more than one person look at it is valuable. So I would go to Craigslist where there are tons of people offering resume-writing for around $50 and hire 4 of them that stood out to me. When I had the four versions, I would sit down, google search for relevant key words and create my own resume using the material I already had. Summary: Resume Strategists is NOTHING SPECIAL and NOT WORTH 3,000.00!

Capitalize on your assets!…read more We all have assets and accomplishments to feature and with Alyssa's help you'll get to the core of it. The time she spent working with me and talking through my career path, I not only ended up with terrific materials, but I was able to see my own value from a different perspective. With her experience, she transformed what had been a jumble of experiences into a well-articulated resume and cover letter. The experience has been a very positive one, as it has helped me further prepare for interviews. This gives me a greater confidence in my abilities and how I speak about myself. I am in the midst of relocating to the East Coast and there is no room for error in hitting my goal; this was not the time for a DIY effort. And frankly, DIY efforts have only netted mediocre results. At this point, with Alyssa's help, I have noticed an increase in traffic to my LinkedIn profile from searches and I have received very positive feedback about my updated materials (cover letter and resume).

I had a number of amazing energy healing sessions with Linda that helped me to process concerns in…read morean intuitive and empathetic way. Together we went through some of my feeling-thinking-response patterns. These were ingrained from long ago and no longer had any relevance to my current life but were holding me back. Linda helped release these restrictive obstructions and integrate a more beneficial pattern of well-being and self-acceptance. I'm in the midst of my doctoral studies and worked hard on an evidence-based practice implementation which my raters found too technical. I knew I had to start from scratch and was very concerned about what project I should focus on for the remainder of my program. After working with Linda, it was as if I was sinking baskets and scoring points daily. Not only because my aim was better but because the basket was actually edging closer to help me score. Things that would otherwise have pulled me off course, fell away. I have so many examples of this occurring and will mention two of the more notable instances. Years ago, I'd missed an opportunity to be inducted to an international honor society. The paperwork was time-sensitive and the opportunity had passed, by the time I recovered from an accident. I was invited again this semester but the university changed its email servers and the message got stuck, hidden in a junk file. A colleague who had also been invited, reached out to me suggesting I check through my mail. One week prior to the induction ceremony, I found the message and documents to be completed. Surprisingly, I received all of the necessary letters of recommendation from my references the very next day after I requested them. One dean actually showed up in my office to hand-deliver her recommendation to me. That new topic that I needed for my studies, which I was sweating over? Not only did one fall into my lap at my office, 10K to fund the research was granted from a health philanthropy. The primary investigator moved state before the start and the grant writer reached out for my expertise to coordinate data collection and analysis. The rater that frowned down my previous topic, graded me A's on my assignments and took part in the photo op at the honor society with me, the dean and my other inductee colleague. I'm busy doing a great deal of work on that project now with a small team to bounce ideas off of and help with tasks I don't have the bandwidth to take on. If you're looking for a gentle way to align your personal power to meet your desired goals, call Linda. She meets you where you are. Speaking with Linda is like having a friend who has known you all your life. I cannot recommend her enough. She just gets you and gets you more conscious of how you can converse with your body, soul and the energy surrounding us all. Linda guides you to empower your development and make the progress you're looking for. Thank you, Linda!
