As a midwife, publishing my book was like having a baby. It was not just a book; it was an expression of my life's development and work. I was looking for someone to guide me, hear me, and want the same excellence I had poured into writing in the publishing and presentation of the final work.
‍
Nadia was my midwife publisher. Most especially, she was professional and knowledgeable but also kind. She patiently and expertly walked me through the process so that it was not only done in a timely way, I also came to understand the process and the importance of each decision.
‍
One of the things that struck me was her close collaboration with my editor so that as a team, the final design held the developed vision of an entire team—writer, editor and publisher—making the book bigger and better than even I could see.
‍
As a midwife in a very busy practice, the final design of my book presents a valuable and trusted resource to my clients who are on the precipice of the next phase of their life. My clients often quote my book back to me as we are involved in shared decision-making conversations.

I know I could have "gone it alone" on IngramSpark. I had done that research and am very adept at sorting that kind of thing out. Hiring Nadia ensured that not only was the publishing process flawless and professional, the process was personal to me, making Nadia my Publishing Midwife.
