The Encouragers Life would love to support the creation by spot lighting it on our socials, but this can be opted out if the clients prefers.


"But I don't need a ghostwriter?"


Need some help developing your book but you want to write it yourself?


No problem.  


Say hi in the contact form or email us to let me know exactly what you need, and we can work out an arrangement bespoke to you.


The Legal Stuff

The process can take up to 9 - 12 months, although the Book Buddy program has completed projects faster, but it does depend on the project and work load at the time.


Extra time will be required to do final editing for your piece.   


Only two rounds of editing are allowed.  Being an author myself I know the peril of the forever editing stage.  Having two creates focus and urgency, helping the book reach its finish earlier.


The first edit can take place up to 3 months after the completed manuscript.  The second up to 3 months after the first round.  


In exceptional circumstances, (like wishing to make major changes), and more editing is required we can look at the amount of hours that will be needed to complete, price the workload and give you the amount.  Monies will have to be paid up front.


Organisations, charities and individuals are welcome.


No refunds unfortunately once work has begun.  This is because the writer will be dedicating their time to the project and it is only right that their pay be honoured.  


It is the clients responsibility to ensure that the story is unfolding how they like and to make adjusts during the process.


No abuse will be tolerated.  We want people with a story to tell or a wonderful imagination to get their adventures on paper and eventually in book form.  Clients will be treated with dignity and we ask that that is reciprocated.


If you would like more information you can email theencouragerslife@gmail.com for a list of terms and conditions with no obligation.  Let us know a little about what you are aspiring to create for yourself or for your organisation.


You can also use the contact form at the bottom of the page.


Thanks in advance for your consideration.


N.B. Please note that everyone is automatically enrolled in to the mailing this upon contact.  If you don't want to be on the mailing list just let me know.

When Will I Feel Ready?

  As the dog toddled beside me sniffing every scent, smell or gross thing that he could find all I could think about was the feeling I had. I thought about this often on our walks. About how I wasn't where I needed or wanted to be. I thought about all the hills I would have to climb to get there. All the mountains in the way. All the things I didn't know. The skills I don't yet have. And the overwhelm of 'cluelessness,' would come meaning by the time I would return home I would be returning to life feeling like those mountains where higher, those hills were steeper and the skills I would have to learn were impossible for my brain to comprehend. I loathed feeling that way. Because the fact is I am a hard worker. I accomplish in the face of my limitations. I am like a Jack Russell pup who refuses to give up the toy. I am relentless. Yet adorable. But I also get tired. Discouraged. Demotivated. Just like everyone else. We are human. And that is both wonderful and a pai

From Then To Now

As I watched the men throwing the rope out to wrap around the deer's antlers I empathised with the deer all too deeply. It was stuck in mire. It was tired. It was scared. It was breathing heavily groaning under the strain of its ordeal. Sweat and muck on its coat. It was in a bad state. The men pulled. I worried for its neck. The pull forced its nose into the muck making the deer catch its laboured breath. The truth was, if the men gave up. It was done for. But the pulling was also dangerous to its mortality. The deer had wandered in. It relied on its successes in the past to be the foundation of its accomplishment with this crossing. It's trapping was its own instinct gone wrong. Now it couldn't move. Bogged down by the mud drying around it. Encasing it. Surrounding it. The deer just wanted to get to the other side. It just wanted to make it. So it went for it. It took a chance. It believed it could make it. It pressed through. It made it three quarters of the way cross be

You Have More to Offer Than You Know

  Some of us search. We long for the moment when the calm will wash over us. The a-ha moment. The moment when everything clicks. However, years go by and the pangs within us never fade. We never feel like we made it. We never feel like we can relax. Instead we feel unworthy. We feel as though he aren't good enough. Smart enough. Good looking enough. Well dressed enough. In a world that is fast paced, it can feel as though we are always chasing something. The dream. The goal. The qualification. The job. We say to ourselves, "If I can only get this, then I will feel secure.  I will know that I am good enough.  I will feel like I have finally arrived." And then we get there and its anti-climactic, because we are still us with that qualification charged with sustaining that dream, goal or job.  The pressure never leaves. And for those whose lives take twists and turns. Where reinvention is a melting pot of work experience and service and the unthought-of reality that pops up
