“I highly recommend working with Lindsay if you want someone who ‘GETS IT’ to help you birth your next book project.

Working with Lindsay has been like having an energetic doula open me up to birthing the book. We have dived deep into what the DNA of this book is, how it can be of service, and how I can rise as an author in using the full power of my voice. Lindsay’s experience in publishing has been helpful in keeping me laser-focused on the 3D deliverables, while her energetic awareness, compassion, and high vibrational energy has kept me simultaneously grounded and on fire to reach for more within myself to be authentic in this project.”

— Cassie Shea, Author of Let’s Worry About Everything

“Lindsay’s passion can be seen in her passion not only to make the book its best, but she has the ability and insight to cause any writer to grow.

Thank you Lindsay…for all you are doing, not only for me but all those you come in contact with.”

— Michael K Sahota, Author of Emotional Science

“Working with Lindsay to create and publish my book Re-Humanize was truly an incredible experience. It’s a beyond amazing feeling to see my book on the shelves of Chapters-Indigo and other big bookstores.

The way in which I’ve felt supported by Lindsay, in a logistical, spiritual, and emotional manner, throughout this book creation process is beyond words. Lindsay also helped me to see, feel and KNOW how much my words and my story matters. If it weren’t for her and her immeasurable talent, I would not have shared my book with the world. She has been my cheerleader, soul sister, and my grounded genius. Thank you for making my dreams into tangible pages!

If you are considering sharing your story/message/book with the world, I highly recommend doing it through The Awakened Press. This is a holistic, uplifting and grounded process unlike anything else.”

— Marlee Liss, Author of Re-Humanize

“Working with Lindsay EXCEEDED MY Expectations. i liked the personal touch aspect of the delivery.

I gained insights about the essentials of book marketing. If I could have created my own experience, this would be it.”

— Fanen Chiahemen, Author of Never Make a Sound

“the Awakened Press guided me to my core and unfolded my writings into a masterpiece that is whole!

As strong as the callings were to bind my pieces into a collection for all to read, I was shackled by my weakened literary self-esteem and even in midst of the publishing process. However, Lindsay’s compelling acceptance to my writings and allowing it to be an extension of her own work ignited the bravery within me to surpass my past struggles.

She shared to me, while in university in her literary class, that an author was a keynote speaker one day. Questions roamed her mind, ones that normally are overlooked in the institutionalized literary world. After his speech, she personally went up to him and asked about the process of his writing. He replied by simply saying, along the lines of, ‘I just write what flows to me.’ It made me value that creativity is the courage to create. In hearing this from figures affiliated to the traditional world of literary structure, it offered me freedom to expel the art of language with confidence. An insight I gained from my publishing contract with The Awakened Press.

I liked that I had control in my prospects with guidance further directing me to where I wanted to be. It offered me a sense of deeper connection to the expression I wanted to reveal from within me without being bombarded or swayed away from the personal creation.”

— Felecia Kearse, Author of When Words Flow

“The book creation experience was transformational, inspirational, and uplifting.

I learned a lot about character development, describing the environment, and bringing a story to life.

I liked the structure, plan and schedule in how the delivery strategy was approached. If I could have even more guidance and direction in getting my novel to as wide an audience as possible, I would like it even more. Also, I would like it even more if we could somehow schedule more in-person meetings as a group—they are so powerful!

Based on what I’ve seen so far, five stars! Excellent!”

— Huw Evans, Author of Retrospective: A Graeme James Novel

“Thank you for taking care of things and for helping the books to become successful … YOur attention to detail and making sure that even the little details are covered. Especially taking the lead on copyright licensing from the illustrator and working with your book designer to the details of the book design.

Thank you for your patience and incredible job to bring my books to life! I felt like I was your only client!! And I really appreciate you, I am feeling like there is a team for this project and that I am supported in a world that is very daunting (publishing)! I am in shock and awe with how beautiful it turned out.

You have incredible talent and I am filled with gratitude and joy. Thanks for the professional approach and the family-like touches—it is always a pleasure to work with you!”

— Audree Tara Sahota/A.T. Sahota, Author of Emotional Science, The Fairy Princess, and The Truth of a Naked Soul

“The experience was magical, beautiful and collaborative.

The finished products were beyond my expectation, and my concerns and questions were heard and addressed. I learned how important it is to complete each step accurately and timely and to pay attention to the details. There could be additional resources for a more timely followup on deliverables, and not to overcommit on deliverables. Overall, I was extremely satisfied and rate the service 9 out of 10! I’m so grateful for Lindsay’s guidance through the publishing maze!”

— Elle Travis, Author of The Nature Connections series

“Thank you for all of your guidance and your amazing brilliance with this process. I have so much respect and admiration for some of the exercises and tools you’ve shown me. You are excellent at what you do and meant to do it!

Through your help, I had to take a step back at times and ask myself how important was it to be accurate and true to the real thing, or was it more important to tell a story a reader could follow without being in my head, or if a detail was more important at all. I had to analyze this a bit throughout the editing process, and I discovered that the moments that were truly meaningful in my life (during my Lying Down with Dogs decade), and those that had the most impact on me, created the compulsion to be as close to what really happened as possible.

I digress. Congratulations to all of us! It was a team effort all the way around! I cannot thank you enough for all that you’ve done, your wisdom, care and knowledge. You’re awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank YOU for making it all possible. I feel our team spirit (for lack of more sophisticated phrasing), flow, synergy and connection. Working with you has been a true joy and something I looked forward to week after week. Choking up as I write—I will miss this terribly when the book is published…until the next one. xoxo”

— Natalie Pantaleo, Author of Lying Down with Dogs

“If it wasn’t for her professional guidance, our book never would have become a reality! Working with Lindsay was an amazing experience.

Working with Lindsay was a pleasure! Lindsay operates on a scheduled yet flexible timeline and educates the author on the book writing process at the beginning and continues to communicate with them throughout the entire process to ensure deadlines are met and the author is not experiencing any obstacles. If it wasn’t for her, our story would still be on our computer and not on the bookshelves today!”

— Monika and Vaughan Jazyk, Authors of Real Estate Mistakes: Our Mistakes, Your Success and Real Estate Wins

“I cannot express my depth of gratitude to Lindsay and The Awakened Press. She has consistently gone above and beyond throughout the publishing process to ensure that my book, The Dragon Who Swallowed the Sun, is a success!

It’s rare to find someone as committed to a project as the one who started it. I truly feel like I have the best professional teammate ever! Thank you Lindsay!”

— Susie Beiler, Author of The Dragon Who Swallowed the Sun

“With Lindsay’s help I was able to edit my real estate book in one month. It was a fun and engaging process.

Because Lindsay pays attention to detail and makes sure she stays in touch with you closely throughout the process. Thanks for the great help!”

— Joey Ragona, Author of Break the Freedom Barrier

“Lindsay writes BEST SELLERS! Lindsay has been an integral part in helping me engage my network, communicate ideas and reach even more people.

She is incredibly organized and has a system of mining information, putting it on paper and guiding the entire process to finish. The results are BEST selling books. How do I know? She did it for me and for a few others that I personally know.”

— Todor Yordanov, Author of Real Estate: It’s Not For You

“It’s so important to have a resonance with the person you work with. When you’re on the same wavelength, you create a synergy; it’s like the vibration and the frequency that you’re working on needs to be on the same wavelength and Lindsay and I would vibrate on the same level.

It was a really lovely experience. It’s given me great enthusiasm and inspiration!”

— Maureen Freeman, Author of Your Intuition Handbook

“a dream of mine since I was in elementary school has come true.

My first children’s book is now published and available for purchase. Birthday Balloons for Grandpa has been an incredible and bumpy journey. Each phase of the book has its own challenges and beautiful rewards. I genuinely believe God brings people into our lives to stretch us and dig deep within ourselves so we can grow and create a life that speaks to others. And that is just what happened with my editor, Lindsay. From the first phone call, I knew she was the perfect person to align with and with her guidance and insight, she brought the book to life.”

— Kathy Denn (KatieMae), Author of Birthday Balloons for Grandpa

“Getting to the finish line writing a book is daunting—in particular when it is your first. Finding Lindsay was either sheer luck or something more destined. Regardless, I cannot imagine how When Walls Become Bridges would now be a completed and published expression of me, my life thus far and my journey without her.

Every would-be author, or repeat author needs an editor—even the Pulitzer Prize ones, so I am told. And in the world of publishing which most authors have no clue about: guidance, direction and hand-holding through this minefield of frustration and hiccups is vital. I will forever have enduring gratitude to Lindsay for her professionalism and friendship.”

— Stuart Lewis, Author of When Walls Become Bridges

“I thought it would be impossible to write a book like Ganja and be coherent, and your feedback has proved me wrong.

I always run on self-motivation, but you have given me an extra push.”

— Innocent Karikoga, Author of Ganja and Editor in Chief of Autonomy Health Magazine

“One reason that Lindsay made my day is because she liked my writing, and I’m sure you know that it is very difficult to self-evaluate.

Lindsay—the little Canadian woman publisher with the spirit of a poet. I was very impressed with her.”

— Roberto Rabago, Author of Rich Town, Poor Town and Awakened by the Hidden Poet

“Getting to share this journey with Lindsay has been an absolute pleasure and blissful experience! The entire process was kept very playful, which is one of main points of life, to be playful.”

— Rex Hilton (Infinity Ra El) Author of The Effortless Creation of Love
