My name is Odysseus Andrianos, and I want to share with you guys my experience working with Melissa Drake as my coach to help me get my book out. Now, first off, I'm a coach for a living. I've been coaching for 20 years, and I completely understand the value of hiring a coach to shorten the process of accomplishing your dreams. Now, when I came to Melissa, I already had a book pre-written, and what she did was she helped me through the editing process. She helped me with finding the cover for my book, which was really cool because she had, like, 40 different options for me to choose from, which made it way easier to pick the right cover for my book. She also helped me through the process of how I'm going to get my book out to the world and publishing it through Amazon. And the main thing that she really supported me with is just, like, consistently checking in with me, consistently making sure that I was being held accountable for doing the work to get through the process. And I couldn't recommend her enough because she has such a kind soul, and she really actually cares about helping you get your message out to the world. So if you're ready to get your book out and you're ready to be fully supported and guided through the process, I couldn't recommend Melissa Drake enough to support you on this journey.

Melissa Drake is a powerful midwife! I believe I waited until I met her to write my first book. She helped me through the process step-by-step. Everything about her is real, supportive, honest, professional, and empowered. Working with Melissa is an answer to a call, to collaborate with someone who has impeccable standards of excellence, someone with heart, someone I can trust implicitly. Super thankful for her!

It will take your writing to a whole new level! It took me 3 years to write my novel. As a visual person, it was difficult for me to visualize what the final product would look like. As a writer I dreamed of beautiful book covers and fonts outside and inside of the cover. It wasn’t until I met Melissa Drake and she recommended a format to organize my writing. This format was a game changer! I could finally see the page by page, chapter by chapter and it looked like a real book. The directions of merging my writing with her format were very easy to follow and this was the turning point for me in the writing process. In addition, Melissa was there for me if I had any questions or concerns. I published my novel last year and I know without a doubt this format that Melissa created was the catalyst that brought my book to this next level.

She sparked a creative fire in me I didn’t even know I had I’ve never been much of a writer, but I met Melissa Drake about a year ago and she sparked a creative fire in me I didn’t even know I had. She helped me with the process of writing, editing and collaborating on personal letters as well and helped me get published and promote my business at the same time. The writing process was unbelievably therapeutic for me and helped me express feelings I never knew I could share. I highly recommend working with her!

After decades of living in fear and silence, Melissa encouraged me to embrace my truth and tell my story. After decades of living in fear and silence, Melissa encouraged me to embrace my truth and tell my story. By showing up exactly as she is, Melissa inspires me to accept myself as I am and speak my truth from a place of courage, authenticity, and integrity. She approaches editing with precision and HEART. She is truly invested in my success, both professionally and personally, and I’m a better person because of her example. Thank you, Melissa, for doing your work! ~ R. Jade McAuliffe

Melissa has proven herself to be an insightful editor with a nuanced understanding of pacing, phrasing and structure. I recently worked with Melissa to have an article edited before publication. When I received the edit, my initial reaction was resistance to her recommended changes. However, when I took a closer look at the changes on a case by case basis, I found myself agreeing with every edit she recommended. Melissa has proven herself to be an insightful editor with a nuanced understanding of pacing, phrasing and structure. I’m happy to have worked with her and would recommend her editing services to anyone looking for help with their material pre-publication. Thank you Melissa!!

I’ve had the privilege to be a recipient of the famous “Red Pen Treatment.” Melissa is spot on with her editing and added commentary. I’ve had the privilege to be a recipient of the famous “Red Pen Treatment.” Melissa is spot on with her editing and added commentary. I’ve had her edit a few pieces of my work and each time, I learn something new. Melissa’s notes are easy to read and her responses and feedback are positive and educational. By the way, when did the grammar police decide to change from two spaces to one after a period? Don’t they know how hard it is for us 40 somethings to change

Her feedback has helped me be clearer in my writing while maintaining my own voice. Melissa is amazing. She is the best at helping on become a better writer in their own way. I have had the pleasure and honor of working with Melissa twice already and beyond correcting my typos, her feedback has helped me be clearer in my writing while maintaining my own voice. I am very grateful for Melissa’s support and positive energy. Every business owner should look to work with Melissa!

Working with Melissa has been a blessing. I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa Drake via a private Facebook group geared toward encourage writing among women. I had immediately felt connected to a story she had written on her son and the struggles moms have in guiding our sons on their journey into men. When she asked me to contribute content to The Good Men Project I was elated! I was also scared out of my mind too, since I had never had anything published on-line before. I have to say that working with Melissa has been a blessing. She is honest, to the point and I love her style of edits. I love her red pen! My grammar isn’t always the best and often as a busy working mom juggling many priorities I feel that she reads between the lines and helps me mold my articles to be more impactful to the audience I am trying to reach. I never feel judged and she is always full of support and words of encouragement. As a new blogger, I appreciate this encouragement immensely! I recently had a chance to meet Melissa in person and it was like we had known each other for years. She is a good listener, deep thinker and has a very giving nature. She is always willing to share all parts of herself, this make her an incredible editor because she leads by example, sharing her most vulnerable thoughts in her articles. I respect and admire her ability to stay true to herself. She inspires me constantly!
