Testimonials
I was in search of answers regarding the best way to proceed with my book and decided to 'Rent Wendy’s Brain.' The information, resources, and personal guidance I received during the call were priceless! Wendy’s experience and knowledge are one of a kind and have helped me immensely!
I wish I’d met you five years before I started this! I would have saved myself so much wasted time. That was an incredibly valuable hour, Wendy. Thank you—and wow!
You’re tough. I didn’t expect that. But you’re also right. I did precisely what you said – even though I didn’t want to – and I’m writing to tell you my book’s sales have gone up just like you predicted. You’ve made one self-published author very, very happy.
