What publishing has done for Chantal

‘The books have enabled me to show-case my expertise, so people can get a taste of what I do and how I do it. I’ve had many people come back to me and tell me that they have followed the tips in my books and got great media coverage. Others have loved the books and what they call “their no nonsense approach” and have booked on to my training courses – it has helped them feel confident about the material they will receive. I think a book is a great way to give people confidence in your services and skills.’

What Chantal says about working with SRA Books

‘Sue is great to work with. She knows the industry, she gets it and she can explain it – clearly. Sue understands what’s needed and what’s not! Sue produces quality books and ensures that everything is in place so that your book can really fly! I’d very happily recommend Sue – and have done on many occasions!’
