Our Story (so far)
How it all started...
After a career spanning over 20 years as a Civil Service careers specialist, Sue felt burnt out and yearned for a new challenge. She took the leap of early retirement and found herself with the time and freedom to finally pursue her passion for writing. However, she soon realized that writer's block was preventing her from putting words on paper.
Her life coach came to the rescue with a simple yet powerful exercise - writing "morning pages." To Sue's surprise, this daily writing routine unlocked her creative flow and she found herself writing more freely.
One morning, after an especially inspiring session, Sue wrote a poem called "Believe." This turning point poem was about finding the courage to chase your dreams, no matter the obstacles in your path. It inspired Sue to keep writing and eventually publish four books, two of which became Amazon best-sellers. Her success fueled her passion to help other women overcome their limiting beliefs and achieve their publishing and promotion goals.
Ian's journey took a different path. After completing university, he drifted into the world of IT, eventually managing technology at a large inner city primary school. Despite loving the work, the long commute and workplace politics made him seek a change. He ventured into entrepreneurship and eventually became the Coventry Ambassador for the Entrepreneurs Circle, where he helps business owners thrive. Writing has been an important part of Ian's entrepreneurial journey, allowing him to make a positive impact on the world.
When Sue and Ian met and discovered their shared passion for helping others, they decided to join forces and create Book Boost. A supportive service for authors that aims to help overcome fears and obstacles, achieve publishing and promotion goals, and build a thriving community of aspiring authors. Book Boost offers workshops, a membership program, and other services to support its members in reaching their goals.
Book Boost exists to show aspiring authors what's possible when you have the courage to chase your dreams.
