to say...

"Thank you for showing me how to get published... over 300,000 sold.” Jan Larkey, author of Flatter Your Figure (Simon & Schuster)

“Once again, I was assured that writing from the heart, from the deepest part of me, was the way to fulfill my life's purpose.” Tom Puetz, Cottonwood, AZ

“I am writing reality, truth, laughter, tears, pain – dammit, I am writing me – me and my feelings.” Karen M., Florida

“I’d been writing for over eight years without having completed what I wanted to successfully write. Then three-and-a-half months after trying your method, I not only completed my book but a second is halfway finished. The ME that I met using your method was set free to write.” Isabella Quigley, Jacksonville, FL

“With a highly contagious, ‘go for it’ attitude, Tom Bird is an excellent guide and best friend for the author-to-be.” Rick Porello, author of the Rise and Fall of The Cleveland Mafia

“I finished my novel by the end of December. And, a month later to the day, using your ‘get an agent’ wisdom and methodology, I successfully signed with a west coast agency – can’t tell you how excited I am! And you’re right; the book wrote itself, once I let it. And….it’s good.” Mike, Las Vegas, NV

“A professional writer, no matter how talented, is nothing if he can’t get his work published…Bird has a system.” The Pittsburgh Press

“Even Stephen King could learn something about writing from Tom.” Jean Marie Stine, author and former Editor-in-Chief of Tarcher Books
