Our Story (so far)
How it all started...
After over 20 years as a Civil Service careers specialist, Sue Williams reached a crossroads. Burnt out and longing for a new challenge, she took early retirement, gaining the time and freedom to pursue her passion for writing. But when she sat down to write, she found herself stuck‑held back by writers' block and self‑doubt.
Then, a breakthrough came. Her coach introduced her to morning pages‑a simple yet powerful daily writing practice. To Sue's surprise, this unlocked her creativity, allowing her words to flow. One morning, inspiration struck as she wrote Believe‑a poem about finding the courage to chase your dreams despite life's obstacles. That moment changed everything. Encouraged by this spark, Sue went on to publish three collaborative books on the theme Believe You Can, and an award‑winning poetry book: I Am Unique.
Sue soon realised her mission: to help other authors, especially women, to overcome their doubts, bring their books to life and share their message with the world. Most recently, she has published her fourth collaboration: Golden Threads – Women's Shared Wisdom from the Tapestry of Life...
While Sue's journey began with journaling and poetry, Ian's path took a different turn. After university, he entered the world of IT, later managing technology at a large inner‑city primary school. Though he loved the work, the long commute and workplace politics left him craving change. Venturing into entrepreneurship, he became the Coventry Ambassador for the Entrepreneurs Circle, supporting business owners in their growth..
Ian's caring nature led him to produce a deeply personal book, Flowers in My Mother's Garden ‑ A Pictorial Tribute to a Remarkable Lady. He captured the beauty of the flowers in his mother's garden, during the changing seasons. This is an enduring and touching tribute to their time together while he cared for her in later life. Ian also recognised that he developed processes that helped him organise his work at this time. Inspired to share his successful working practises with others, his passion led him to publish a practical business book: The Magic of 3 Weeks ‑ How to Form Positive Habits that can Transform Your Life.
When Sue and Ian met, they quickly discovered a shared passion: helping others achieve their publishing dreams. Together, they founded Book Boost‑a thriving community where non‑fiction authors can publish, promote, and profit from their books.
