What my clients say...
Please meet...
some of the brilliant thought leaders, transformational coaches, and change-making writers I get to call my clients (and friends.)
These endorsements are pulled from the acknowledgements of their recently published books.
Every writer here came to me at a different phase or stage of writing. Some had a little content, others just a dream. One participated in The Story House mastermind, another already had a book deal from a Big 5 publishing house. One is changing the way we manage in a crisis, and still another is inviting us to play more as an entree to a more fulfilling life. Each writer had a first call with me and we were a fit pretty much instantly — then we went from wherever they were to a published book together.

Rethink Everything
"To my professional book coach, Patti Hall, who helped me in the beginning to outline the book and guided me through and endless number of cuts, edits and “rethinks”. Your creative ideas and insights were invaluable."

Joy-Full AF – The Essential Business Strategy We're Afraid to Put First
You have been much more than a book coach and story builder for me over the last two years. From "a book about AND" to The Ten Essentials to Joy-Full AF you were steadfast in helping me navigate the twists and turns, and ups and downs of the book-writing wilderness. You believed in me when I didn’t. You refused to give up when I thought, “No, this time the joy really is gone, I’m quitting.” Your heart, generosity, tenacity, and grit are unmatched. Words will never fully capture my gratitude.

Follow Your Yes – A Simple Idea to Improve Anyone’s Life
“Patti M. Hall, my book diviner, without your encouragement, expertise and enthusiasm to see this book written there’s no telling if these pages would have ever come to be. Through your generous guidance I found the confidence to do something I never thought I would do. I was convinced I was not a writer and you helped me see that wasn’t true at all.”
Mel Miles
Soulcation – Design a Life You Don’t Need A Vacation From
“…my writing coach, Patti Hall, I couldn’t have made it through this solo act without your gut reactions, technical critiques and late-night texts cheering me on. My guest room is always here for you.”
Catherine Hammond
Hope(less) – the truth about hope and where to find it
“Patti Hall, this book truly would not be half of what it is without your loving patience, insight, and curiosity. Your belief in me and in this message have carried me through the process and enhanced every idea I’ve had. Your friendship is one of my most treasured gifts. The words “book coach” don’t come close to describing your role in this process. Thank you with all my heart!”

The First Year of Grief Club – A Gift From a Friend Who Gets It
“I could not have navigated the waters of writing to actual authorhood without you. Thank you for the grace and integrity you had in teaching me to sail; being a co-captain, every member of the crew and when all else failed grabbing a bucket and keeping more water out than in with me … Couldn’t have done it without you and wouldn’t have wanted to. Only the beginning, thanks for being “just to the left” with me and for me, always.”

Lessons From A Clown – How to Find Courage to Show Up for Yourself and Laugh Every Day
“Patti M. Hall — What a woman you are! Without you this would never exist. For your kindness and skill, your wit and wisdom, I will always be so grateful; along with your friendship and care. I can never fully express my gratitude for your skill in helping me get this book into something I can be proud of. Fancy doing it all again?”

You Do You(ish) – Unleash Your Authentic Superpowers To Get the Career You Deserve
“Ironically, words can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am for you. Formally my book coach, you are so much more than that. I cannot imagine going on this journey with anyone else. You taught me so much more than how to write a book. You dove deep into my soul to ensure I wrote a book to my highest, most authentic power.”

Only 10s 2.0
“Patti M. Hall – You were the missing piece. This book, in its current form, and everything I write for the rest of my life, is your ripple.”
Shelley Paxton
Soulbbatical – A Corporate Rebel's Guide to Finding Your Best Life
"To the best book coach ever, Patti M. Hall. The title book coach doesn’t even begin to describe your immense talent and support. You were my champion, cheerleader, thread puller, memory prompter, co-conspirator, therapist, coach, editor, and, best of all, friend. I could never have done this without you. I’d still be on the first chapter (crying). Thank you from the depths of my heart and soul."
Teo Alfero
The Wolf Connection – What Wolves Can Teach Us About Being Human
"Patti Hall is a gem in the publishing world. She understands my thinking and writing process beautifully. My first book was a complex project on a tight deadline but Patti was able to coach me through the writing and lead me through the endless steps of book completion and publishing flawlessly. She is extremely generous with her vast knowledge and experience and she will jump into the ocean of publishing and swim next to you all the way across to solid land. She and I are on to my next book now which I know will be better than the first. Thank you Patti, I could not have done this without you!”
