"Nancy was an integral part of my journey as an author. So integral that I may have never considered writing a book if not for her. Nancy’s encouragement took me from an unknown writer to a bestselling author. Her ability to recognise emerging talent and encourage people to tell their stories is unrivalled.”

— Toni Tone, Sunday Times Bestselling author of I Wish I Knew This Earlier

(Published by HarperCollins)

"Nancy was the first (and probably the most important) part of our foray into publishing. Without Nancy's encouragement, and support with proposal writing, our first book would simply not have happened. She saw something in us that we barely saw ourselves, and supported us from inception, through to pitching and the eventual acquisition of our first book.”

“I’ve known Nancy since she kindly published one of my short stories about 10 years ago. She’s been a consistent source of encouragement ever since. When I was looking for more opportunities to grow myself as a writer, Nancy approached me to ask whether I might be interested in working on a book inspired by Princess Adenrele Ademola’s story. Her question led to a two-book deal and A Nurse’s Tale became the number one bestseller in the Amazon Women’s Fiction category. Despite her busy schedule, Nancy always has a smile and words of support. If you have her in your corner - and you’re prepared to work hard and be persistent and patient - I have no doubt that you’ll succeed.”

“Nancy’s expertise, dedication, and unwavering support were instrumental in bringing my book to life. She provided invaluable guidance at the very early stages of a complex project which involved multiple writers, and her timely advice and direction ended up being a key difference-maker in the book’s success. To think my idea was still floating in the air when I approached her. Now, my book has surpassed my wildest expectations, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to any aspiring author seeking guidance in the publishing process.”

“I knew I could write. I knew I had a good idea. And yet, I wasn't making progress with the literary agent I was working with at the time. I had re-written my book proposal for this agent several times over the course of many months, and I was extremely frustrated. I was almost ready to give up...almost. I mentioned this to a friend who suggested I speak with Nancy. Connecting with Nancy changed everything. Within minutes, she got my book idea. She gave me pointers to re-work my proposal and a strategy for the publishing world. She was also just incredibly encouraging. Nancy is equal parts book strategist and cheerleader...the secret sauce I didn't know I needed. By our last session, I had a sharper vision for my book and a new literary agent I’m thrilled to be working with. To anyone working on a book project, I cannot recommend Nancy enough. As the TikTokers say...she really is THAT girl.”

— Blessing Omakwu, women’s equality advocate, social impact strategist (and future bestselling author!)

"After I decided to start writing my second book, I struggled to find a concept that tied everything together. I reached out to Nancy, who, within an hour, was able to distill the core idea into two sentences. My collaboration with Nancy gave me the clarity I needed to move forward with the book, and was instrumental in helping me secure a deal with one of the world’s top publishing companies.''

“I started writing as a child and often dreamt of one day being published. Three decades on, I slowly accepted that this would never happen. That this book exists is nothing but a miracle, and I am immensely grateful to everyone who helped make the impossible, possible […] I would like to thank Nancy Adimora, whose astute editorial and publishing industry insights unlocked the final door.“
