Kind Words
"Pia provides a balance of the logical and the creative side of publishing, marketing, etc. Being very green to the marketing area of self-publishing, Pia provided me with practical steps and solutions for developing a foundation, plan, and action steps to help move me forward in the process of establishing a presence, audience, and network.
Pia encourages you to look at what has been done before, but to do things your way, to maintain your artistic integrity and authentic self (which is what is going to help you connect to future readers of your book). I can’t say enough about her, but I can say you are in good hands working with Pia; she is patient, kind, thinks outside the box and is supportive of your vision. Pia wants you to succeed.
When I get near the more advanced stages of my book launch, I certainly plan on booking some sessions with Pia again. Out of all I have consulted, I have 100 percent trust and faith in Pia and can count in her rubber-stamp my book, before it hits the press. Thank you Pia!"

"It has been a wonderful experience working with Pia in getting my book published! From our informative, initial consultation to discussing, and working through, the logistics of my book (proofreading, formatting – both paperback and e-book – getting the ISBN, Amazon registration, etc.) to Pia helping me strategize my online launch, I have grown as both a professional and person during this process. It is obvious that Pia truly cares about her clients and wants them to succeed. She is committed, approachable and embraced the opportunity to assist in helping me achieve my book-publishing goals. Thank you, Pia, for your guidance in my journey to make my dreams a reality! I would highly recommend Pia to anyone who has ever dreamt of sharing their story with the world."

“There’s this romantic notion about writing a book! Yes, writing a book can be a most joyful way to self-express, yet there’ll also be times of great confusion, because of the many questions that arises, when you are self-publishing. Do yourself a favor and join Dream Book Academy to get the support that you need. Pia Edberg has created an amazing community of likeminded writers and she helps guide you every step of the way. You’ll get easy to follow check lists and even a template for your book so that you can spare yourself many sleepless nights, trying to figure everything out on your own.”

"I loved working with Pia Edberg. Entrusting your first novel to someone can be a nerve wracking experience and I wanted someone who would be kind and empathetic to such a sensitive story. Pia was all those things. She was easy to talk to, bounce ideas off of and incredibly encouraging. She also has a great deal of knowledge and experience in the publishing world and has helped me tremendously from the beginning to the end of getting my book ready for publication. I will definitely be using her services in the future and highly recommend her to anyone who wants an editor and coach who will not only make your book the best it can be, but also believe in your dreams.”
— Jenny Percey, Author of Forty-Two Minutes
"I had no idea what a book coach did when I contacted Pia. I had read the first draft of my book, realised how awful it was, and knew I needed help if I was going to create the book I wanted. Pia was calm and welcoming, and made me feel at ease on the discovery call. It was also clear she knew a lot about writing and publishing, so I hired her. I'm glad I did! Pia coaches you on writing your book in terms of being a cheerleader and holding you accountable, but I didn't fully understand that she also acts as a developmental editor. And her editorship skills were invaluable in helping me get my book from an awful first draft to a manuscript to be proud of. The value of working with a book coach like Pia is that she's been where you are and will see things that you can't see regarding the writing process and beyond. Having access to Pia's Dream Book Academy and 1:1 support on Voxer was what I needed to get me back on track towards writing an impactful book. In addition to the writing support, Pia provided a wealth of resources to help with the publishing and marketing of the book. The editor and book designer I used were based on her recommendations, and their work was excellent! I would highly recommend hiring Pia to help you write your book. She'll be my first call when I decide on the topic of book number 2!"

“Pia is a kind and gentle soul who has a lot of knowledge and experience on the subject of book publishing.

I’m grateful to have had the pleasure to meet her in person and even more blessed to have her as a resource. I highly recommend and respect Pia as your book coach.”

“Here is an actual conversation I had with myself before I started working with Pia – “Okay I have my first book pre-order set up on Amazon, now what? Hold on, it doesn’t look right, the pages are all messed up, what’s going on? Oh wait, I need to format it, how do I do that? Wait, is that a spelling mistake?” It’s laughable now but at the time I was freaking out, I had NO IDEA what I was doing! Falling down the rabbit hole trying to figure out how to fix mistakes was so frustrating, nothing was going as planned. I was originally working with another company who provided a cookie cutter one-size-fits-all approach, I didn’t feel like they were accessible or explained thoroughly the detailed questions I had. Pia has a holistic and individualized approach which makes you feel like you have someone in your corner helping you navigate the entire process. The step by step guide was a huge help and she was not phased by my stupid and repetitive questions. She helped turn my confusing mess into a #1 bestseller on Amazon. Thank you Pia, highly highly recommended.”

"Not only did Pia help me finish writing Evolve: The Parables of Plant Medicine, but throughout the process, she gently makes me look in the mirror and allows me to confront my shadows, see the divinity in one's words, and helps pull out of you what matters to you and the reader."
— Geoff Wilson | Financial & Entheogenic Integration/Change Coach, Podcast Host + Author
“Finding Pia was fate, and I am so happy that I did. She is kind-hearted and a breath of fresh air when it comes to the editing process. I am lucky to have found Pia my first time around because I have now found an editor for life. I highly recommend her work and the ongoing support she shows her clients. She makes it super easy and encouraging to take on advise and picks up on the small things that make all the difference in the world. She not only helped my book but she also helped me as a writer.”
— Tori Joy | Author of The Pep Talk
“Pia helped unlock a door of potential within me that I did not think I would ever open. She was a constant presence of support, accountability and creativity. She helped focus me in the right direction and guide me through the process of creating an outline and manuscript where I would normally get overwhelmed and give up. I highly recommend partnering with Pia for all your book needs and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
— Josh Ladd | Writer + Poet
“Pia is a soulful book coach! She guided me in such a way that all was well, flowing, with clear and simple directions. It was beyond my imagination that I would become a bestseller, it’s my dream come true! Thank you so much for being my angel in this journey, Pia. You have touched me deeply with this miracle in my life. I highly recommend Pia, she serves with brilliance, integrity, and simplicity.”

“You can write a book of course you can. But I highly recommend that you get the support that you need. Pia will help you make a lot more progress a lot faster than if you go it alone.

If you are looking for an excellent book coach, look no further.”

"Pia Edberg was the perfect Book Coach + Editor to guide me on my first book! The quotation of services through to the editing process was clear and seamless. Pia has a keen eye and the gift of simplifying thoughts and words to convey to the reader. I am grateful for her valuable editing skills and professionalism, and I highly recommend her services whether you are a new author or seasoned writer!"

"Pia was an incredible help during the confusing early phases of publishing my book. Coming into our meeting, I knew nothing about publishing and when trying to decide between traditional publishing, self publishing or a hybrid of both Pia helped me understand the ins-and-outs of all options, to the point where we discovered that a hybrid will be perfect for what I was trying to do with my photography and poetry book. It gave me a lot of confidence being able to discuss what the potential outcomes and speed bumps could be with each different choice that will need to be made in the publishing journey and ironing those out early was a huge help!"
