"Ever read Matthew, chapter ten, verse thirty-four? In it…read moreJesus states, 'Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.' Some people misinterpret that as allegory. Some people reject his message and react violently. He was really saying that he indeed brought a motherf*cking sword--the Sword of Jesus." Jonathon Tait explaining to Andrew Walker the nature of the weapon only Jennifer Ainsley can wield. Current technology can be amazing. In the 90's, I wrote 4 screenplays that promptly sat in the drawer with no Hollywood connections, no access to sell my work. Fast forward to 2012 where my idea for a multi-part Fantasy/Horror/Suspense series starts to take shape. I found technology had greatly shifted publishing so that the art of selling a story had drastically changed. People were now being successful in books and music selling their creations directly to a potential audience. After researching a variety of publishers, I chose CreateSpace because of its variety of options and ease of integration with Amazon, their corporate overlord ;) There are a variety of price points and packages to consider. I ordered their book formatting, editing, and Kirkus review services. The service is easu to work with and they answered a myriad of questions along the way. The only hiccups was a phone call scheduling miscommunication at the beginning and minor issues with formatting. Those problems were more than offset by my positive experiences especially in working with my assigned editor Angela. Her understanding of my book and what needed to be adjusted was dead-on and the improvement in my draft after working with her was dramatic.As I work on my second book, i know I think of her comments and hope that I can get her assigned to the second book. CreateSpace now offers matte covers and with my surreal book image it makes the presentation of my book, in printed form, look almost as professional as if it had been printed by a major publisher. Just make sure you have multiple people reread it! Angela and I did not catch all typos and I had to pay another 435 to make minor corrections after the first batch of books were printed. CreateSpace uploaded my manuscript direct to Kindle and everything was fine other than a couple of minor formatting issues which were resolved quickly. I'm very happy with my experience with CreateSpace and highly recommend them if you are an author looking to self-publish. My book can be ordered via paperback or on Kindle here: http://www.amazon.com/Jennifer-Ainsley-Final-Demon-War-ebook/dp/B00HFYK99Q/

Too many scandals that left unanswered questions from those who where there longer than many of the…read morestaff. Upon being fired from there in 2015 there was a plagiarism scandal that played up and it basically left Creeger reeling as my sources revealed she was a villain with good publicity. If you have your original word documents here's my e-mail: nickolauspacione@aim.com and I will offer to help you get moved into Blurb.com or TheBookPatch.com if you have intense nature to your subject matter. I saw someone icing TheBookPatch.com and I had reviewed CreateSpace.com on trustpilot -- so the question is Creeger working in publishing after her layoff. Don't hire her on another place if she is out of work within the same field because she's not even qualified to be a publisher.

Unfortunately, have had a recently poor experience with Executive Resume Pro's. Paid them upfront…read moreto help me get my resume updated. Was informed that IT Resumes were a specialty and had them done many times. Received a 10 page document to complete. It was an unformatted, hodge podge of questions that had little or no relevancy to the industry (didn't make me very comfortable with the future handling of my resume). Attempted to complete it but by the 2nd hour, reached out to the owner about the irrelevant nature of the questions. Was promoted told, "I can't help you unless you provide more". I took another couple of hours and began rewriting all my job history for the response, but a second review by the owner was "need more info". By this time, it was clear that I could write the darn thing myself as "I" had done all the work already. Found a format I liked, started writing and completed a very respectable 1st draft. The service had not started the project yet so therefore I requested a cease work - and a refund of the $600 dollars (yes, $600 dollars for me to write my own resume). My request to terminate was ignored and shockingly, a resume showed up in my inbox a day later. Did not open, responded back that I had requested a refund yet was told the payment was NONREFUNDABLE. Nothing EXECUTIVE or PROFESSIONAL about that. Needless to say, I'm pursuing a refund with my credit card company and have initiated a case in small claims court. I will spend more money than I paid for sure, but am not willing to let the issue fall by the wayside. Others might have had a better experience, but mine only rates a 1 star. I'll circle back with any updates. M

I did extensive research on resume writing services. I checked out all of the top results on…read moreGoogle, which consisted of large companies and small companies. Most of which were located in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia. I came across 7 Nightingales in the middle of my search and they set the bar high. Both, Sarahs' and Kerris' bios were quite impressive. The website was also very easy to navigate and overall, pleasing to the eye. During my searches, I noticed a lot of other companies that highlighted the founder, but creatively worded that one of their many "qualified" writers would we working with you. That didn't really sit well with me. It's almost like a bait and switch... So with that said, I liked that there are just two people at 7 Nightingales. You definitely get what you see, with no surprises... As much as I liked 7 Nightingales, their prices were just a little out of my comfort zone. I don't have a college degree and I'm in a job transition due to recently moving to South Carolina. So I just wasn't sure if it was worth me spending that kind of money on a resume service for the type of job I'm looking for. However, after interacting with 2 other companies, I came to my senses real quick! Believe me when I say, it doesn't matter if you fly a private jet or drive a forklift, blue collar or white collar, 7 Nightingales has the background and knowledge to provide ANYONE with TOP NOTCH resume/ career services. You only have one chance to make a first impression. So why not make it your best... Having a career change in a new state, during a pandemic has completely taken a toll on my confidence. But regardless if I get the exact job that I'm looking for or not, I know for a fact that my resume and cover letter is the absolute best that it can be thanks to Sarah. She has truly uplifted my confidence and I couldn't be happier that I chose her to do the job. Lastly, Sarah was very responsive from beginning to end, through email, text, and phone. To top it off, she even checked on me about a week after I received the final product. Sarah is very down to earth, easy to talk to, and non-judgmental. I felt like I was her top priority every time I interacted with her.

In short: If you have doubts about your career, relationships, or yourself, Emily works her magic…read moreto transform your perspective into a workable goals that empower you to action. Should you try it? Oh yes!! I'm on my second program with Emily because she's made such an impact! Ambience: Anytime I'm ever talking to Emily or in circle, I feel so supported. In sister circles, the mood is always positive, even when one of us is having a rough day. We express what's on our minds and ask for the type of feedback we want. In 1:1 calls with Emily, she directs the call based upon what's most heavy on your mind, and destroys blockages in your life, one by one, until you feel complete and questioning why you ever second-guessed yourself in the first place! Emily is truly magical. Service: If I ever had any doubts, questions or concerns, Emily was able to explain thoroughly and work through my objections one by one. She dedicates the time necessary to address what's going on in your life in a way that feels so natural. It's like talk therapy - only she is specially trained to help you take positive, motivated action that serves you in the best way possible. Location: Emily can work with you both near and far since she communicates with you via email, phone, and Google Hangouts. The ladies in my sister circle were spread out across the US, and I feel very close to them after our time together. 3 Key Tips: 1) Be sure you're ready to set aside time to complete weekly accountability assignments. They ultimately serve your personal goals and aren't difficult - but you've gotta commit to change if you want to see improvement. 2) Emily's group programs are amazing! You'll be supported by Emily and a few other women who can give you insights on your goals that wouldn't otherwise come to light! 3) (general life tip on this topic) Learn to meditate. It's the most incredible tool you can use to give your mind the clarity it deserves. Recommended Programs: Freedom is Sexy or any program incorporating both sister circles and 1:1 coaching!

As someone who never thought I'd be a "coaching person," my opinion has been completely changed by…read moreEmily. I feel so motivated, empowered, and entirely supported by Emily and the programs she has created. I have found most success with 1:1 coaching, though Emily also offers group circles that are fantastic as well. The environment that she creates for these circles is welcoming, non-judging, and very meditative. During my 1:1 coaching experience, I was shocked by how wise and understanding Emily is. When you're speaking with her during a coaching call, she has the power to distill your thousand-word rant into a short, direct paragraph that completely and 100% captures what you just said.....and then flips your perspective on how to deal with it. The biggest benefit to working with Emily is having someone listen to you and then offer words of wisdom for how to get where you want to go. Emily has a way of getting you to connect what's in your head and your heart, then guides you through the action steps you need to take. Of course, nothing changes if you don't commit to doing the work! The accountability support that's offered is fantastic. Emily also offers insight and advice based on her training and knowledge of goddesses, moon phases, and such (in a completely non-woo woo way). I always left a call with a clear idea of what I need to do to see amazing change in my life. I am beyond happy with my decision to change my life with Emily's wisdom and guidance.
