TESTIMONIALS
Dixie Carlton has been immersed in books & publishing for over 20 years. She know this stuff backwards, why work with a beginner when you can work with an expert…an Indie Expert! Lindsay Adams CSP, OAM
I have made so much progress over the past 12 months with Dixie’s help. Believe me, it doesn’t stop when the book is published.
Dixie is now helping me to produce the 2nd edition of my first book, Small Company, Big Business. We are also working on getting me more speaking engagements based around the content of my two books. I’ve even signed up to do a 3rd book, so I will continue working with Dixie for the foreseeable future.
There are so many people I know who have said to me at some time “I could write a book about it”. Well yes, you should. And get Dixie to help. She will make it happen.
The other advantage I have gained by working with Dixie is the connection with other authors that she works with. I have made some wonderful friends who are now valuable colleagues.
Dixie is my second set of eyes.. From my draft to final book she helps me check validity of content, and appropriateness of language. Her help been critical on my first two books and again on my latest one ‘Solution oriented Selling’ Without Dixie I wouldn’t even start a book!!!!!!
Dixie has recently helped me get my manuscript out of the jumble of Word documents and into a REAL book, and all I can say is WOW! Dixie is such a brilliant author coach, who knows the industry intimately. Dixie’s many years of experience shine through when offering guidance and advice to budding authors. Her knowledge of current writing styles, industry expectations and content development are second to none. Prior to meeting Dixie I would have struggled to navigate the self-publishing industry, but now I feel I have learnt important skills and am equipped to tackle the industry. Thanks Dixie for all of your incredible work, for being approachable, for being easy to work with with, and for helping make my dream of publishing a book become a reality.
Dixie is a wonderful cheerleader who peps you up and encourages you to continue going through the rollercoaster ride of writing your book. If I ever got stuck or needed to bounce ideas around, have fresh eyes give a different perspective to my manuscript, Dixie was always supportive and timely. Thank you for helping me publish a highly professional book to the world!
Dixie’s knowledge and expertise in the book publishing world is outstanding. Her extensive understanding of the industry is matched this with professional service and support. Dixie has helped many authors to become high profile on many platforms and will guide you gently through the progress. If you have a book waiting to launch from idea to authority – Dixie is your key to success!Karen Tui Boyes CSP, Author, Speaker, Global Educator
I have recently published my first book. It has been one of the biggest challenges and rollercoaster rides of my life. Dixie has been my awesome publishing coach over the past 4 months. She took my book, helped restructure it, edit it, organise the cover design and electronic and print publishing. Her knowledge of this complex area is exhaustive. But more than that, her support, enthusiasm and encouragement was fantastic. I can’t recommend Dixie enough to others going through a similar journey.

I recently had the pleasure of hearing Dixie present at The Plan B Summit in Namibia. Put simply, she really knows her stuff when it comes to publishing. And not only the publishing itself, but everything that goes into creating a sustainable business stream through the book. Dixie has a great way of simplifying the complex in this field and I came away unexpectedly feeling much more knowledgable than when I arrived – that is the sign of both an expert and great communicator. Thanks Dixie, for demystifying publishing. Your advice was awesome!

From having no idea what I was doing when I was thinking about writing a book, to now seeing the book come to fruition, none of this would have happened without Dixie’s very capable yet humorous and supportive guidance. Not only has she guided me through the writing of the manuscript, she has helped me to see a wide array of complementary activities that go hand-in-hand with the book. Tremendous vision, awesome attention to detail, passionate about her work! I am recommending her to anyone who is passionate about writing a book and to be guided and encouraged along the way.

As a speaker and business coach, not being an author was a gap in my “authenticity” marketing. I didn’t know where to start and Dixie Carlton made the process seamless. From the seed of an idea to becoming an Amazon Best Seller happened in 6 months. To say I was stunned was an understatement!

Maria took me from absolute novice to best selling author, without her invaluable help the book would still be in my head and not on paper! Her patience and assistance at every stage was fantastic and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
