A sterling job done at my book launch
I want to express a heartfelt thank you to Kim Vermaak for the sterling job done at my book launch. I highly recommend her services.
Being a first-time author hosting a book launch is very exciting but can also be a daunting task considering all the finer details & bringing everything together. Thanks to the expertise of Kim Vermaak, the Mindset Whisperer, author, publisher and speaker, my event was everything I dreamed it would be!
Kim exhibited a sauve & eloquence that captivated our audience with her masterful interview questions, subtly presenting a wonderful sense of humour and elegance. Attention to detail is an understatement. Everything she does is with excellence and she prides herself on ensuring she meets the client’s expectations. Kim definitely went beyond my expectations.
It takes someone with great experience and talent to be able to bring out the best in an author’s book and Kim did just that!
Thank you, Kim, for an exceptional book launch. You are amazing!

An essential part of the self publishing journey
While I realised that marketing is an essential part of the self publishing journey, getting down to it can seem so overwhelming that you end up doing nothing. That’s why I am so grateful to Kim from Write Learn and Earn. She is an author with a heart for authors and the patience to guide you through it. She has a wealth of knowledge about Amazon, website and other book marketing tools, and I am on my way.

Extremely professional and helpful
I did not know where to start with Amazon. But Write Learn and Earn got my KDP account opened quick and completed my ebook and paperback typesetting in time for my deadline. I found them to be extremely professional and helpful. I was distracted by a personal issue during this project. I was not focused on the book and felt overwhelmed. She went above and beyond the service I employed her for helping me successfully publish my book on Amazon. I highly recommend the services of Write Learn and Earn and will be using the services again soon.
Warm regards

I somehow magically just look better
I always used pics I’d taken myself as PR pics. The difference in quality between those and the ones Hush took is indescribable! Not only do I somehow magically just look better, but the colours are brighter and sharper, and they have a far more professional feel. As authors, we think so much about marketing our books; we forget about marketing ourselves.

Professional and open process
What Kim was able to offer me in terms of insight, price with her experience in understanding the needs of authors was outstanding. Kim is not only creative, but she takes on your views and comments willingly and it’s a professional open process.

Such an asset to my clients
I have recommended Kim to a number of my author clients to help them with their marketing on Amazon, and generally. She’s such an asset to them … moving them up in the rankings, getting more of their books sold and keeping them on track (she project manages them too). If you’re looking for someone in your corner that will help you get your books seen and bought on Amazon, go to her.

Awesome book coach for my marketing
Kim assisted me with super insightful and effective book marketing strategies. To be very honest, my first book failed on Amazon. I had amazing mentors when it came to writing, and publishing, but no so when it came to marketing. I will soon launch a revised edition of my first book and I will be applying what I’ve learned from this awesome book coach for my marketing. I highly recommend her. She is bursting with book-related knowledge.

Does passion really pay the rent?
I started writing in 2018. Although I was working long hours to build my writing career, I was alone in my dream. Some of my friends and even family treated my writing as a hobby that was robbing my family of my working hours when I was supposed to produce an income.
I launched my book, and the sales were virtually non-existent. But I kept on going. A well-meaning friend was listening to me carry on about my books and my vision and she said, “Kim, I really hope that your passion is paying the rent.” It devastated me.
Then I remembered all the entrepreneurial training I had received. An average business takes five years of dedication to be profitable. I vowed I would keep up with my dedication until I had turned my writing into a passive income producing machine that would take care of all my family’s needs.
I am so glad that I did because after the first lock down was announced; it forced me to live off my book income,
It was then that it really hit home. I had made the correct decision.
Being an author is not a hobby. It is a business, and it is my passion to teach authors how to thrive in that business.
