TESTIMONIALS FOR DAWN BATES

Umberto Nardolicci

“To be honest, I had never heard of an ‘Author Coach’ before, nor had I ever thought of hiring one. Turned out to be the best thing for me to get things moving forward. Dawn was a bright, cheerful, and positive influence that helped me focus my thoughts and efforts. She basically pushed me off the cliff of research, outlines, and apprehension into the valley of writing. Soon chapters began to come, and she was a positive voice throughout the whirlwind of thoughts and ideas. She followed along with the plot, characters, settings, and events, helping me to make sense of it all. She is a fantastic Author Coach who I have truly enjoyed working with.”

Umberto Nardolicci, Navy veteran & Software Engineer
Sue Winsbury

“There are few women I have come across with the passion, drive and integrity that Dawn possesses. I have had the pleasure of working with Dawn both as a coaching and author client and every interaction is an opportunity for development and expansion. Her knowledge and experience of moral issues is vast and she is most certainly a woman on a mission in terms of raising awareness of global ethics and social justice.

“Would I work recommend working with Dawn? Absolutely… but set your sights and standards high.”

Su Winsbury, Wellbeing & Empowerment Coach

Dawn Bates is a true transformation specialist. I had the privilege of working with her on my first book, The Recipe: US Marines’ Mindset for Success, published in June 2021. Dawn’s role went far beyond that of a publisher—she became a marketing strategist, editor, mentor, and, most importantly, a catalyst for authentic and articulate expression. She has an unparalleled ability to draw out the knowledge and insights buried within you, ensuring that your work resonates with both authenticity and precision.

The journey from being an everyday individual to becoming an author is one of profound self-awareness and growth. Dawn not only guides you through this process, but she holds you to the highest standards of accountability to deliver exceptional results for both yourself and your audience. She challenges you to go beyond surface-level thinking, demanding a level of introspection and vulnerability that unlocks clarity and inner strength.

Through this journey, I not only achieved the milestone of becoming an author, but I also embarked on a lifelong path of self-improvement and discovery. Dawn’s approach is not about coddling your emotions; it’s about pushing you to explore uncharted territories of your mind and spirit. The transformation is far from easy, but the outcome is nothing short of life-changing. Dawn Bates doesn’t just help you write a book—she helps you discover and embrace the most powerful version of yourself.

“Thank you for believing in me, encouraging me and pushing me to be the best author I can be. Your passion for books, for writing, publishing, and for your clients is awe inspiring and I am immensely grateful for the way in which you have been my teammate in this process.”

Beth Canalichio, Author: Raising Grit

Writing can be an emotional thing, you are after all putting some of yourself on the page. Dawn has been there throughout the process of writing, release and promotion, holding the space for us throughout. Her commitment to getting the book out there in front of people and raising it’s profile has been amazing. It’s easy to believe that good books succeed no matter what their publisher’s do PR wise, but this is simply not true. Dawn recognises this and is relentless, her enthusiasm is limitless and her drive extraordinary. Successful books happen because publishers like Dawn make it happen.

7 WEEK AUTHOR COURSE SELF STUDY

Are you an aspiring author overwhelmed with ideas but unsure where to start?

Do you find yourself staring at a blank page, feeling frustrated and stuck?

Perhaps you’ve tried writing before, only to give up because life got in the way.

You’re not alone.

When you choose to invest in your future as a writer and a published author, you are also choosing to take control of your life and the way your voice is heard.

When I designed this course, I chose to code it with the energies of abundance, courage and positive personal power. And as with most people, I too go through different stages of confidence and courage, need snapping out of ‘the funk’, kick imposter syndrome out the door and remind myself of why I choose to write the books I do.

I wrote this course to empower writers and authors to create a life they are inspired by, as well as inspire and heal others through the art of literature. I want to see authors succeed rather than struggle to make a living and being afraid of promoting and selling their creation with the world.

Each module has been written to meet you wherever you are at in both your personal and professional life. Alongside the journalling questions, there are action plans, tracking tools and mini-motivational anecdotes for you to dive into.

Each module is designed to be completed as part of your day, rather than create extra burdens or stress in your already busy lifestyle.

When you work through each module, you’ll feel more inspired, you will start implementing the things you learn into other areas of your life.

This course is a whole of life course because writing is a way of life. When you become a published author, your life is going to change in ways you can either design yourself or allow others to design for you.

So choose you. Choose life by design. Choose your style of impact for the world using the craft and art of literature!

Wishing you the very best life has to offer,
Dawn x
