Clients

Jo has worked with a wide range of clients, across many industries and cultures. Her seminars, workshops and keynotes have taken place in many locations and her students and author clients come from all over the world

Here’s what some of them say about working with Jo:
“©Alex Kaplan PhotographyIt was incredibly valuable to have Jo with me during the whole process. Thanks to her guidance and editorial support I was able to write ‘Living Your Best Life Abroad’ in only six months. She held me accountable and together we defined deadlines and style sheets, which enabled me to move forward. I learned so much about the whole process of writing a book. Jo was always available when I needed her help, either via email or on the phone. I can highly recommend working with her to write and publish your book within!”

laurajstephens“I first heard Jo speak at an international conference and immediately afterwards began to write, inspired by her extraordinary enthusiasm. Later, I attended her Writing Life Story workshop which helped me find my ‘voice’, this led to the publication of my first articles. From there, Jo’s mentoring program gave me the tools I needed to progress and begin writing a book. As I honed my skills, Jo encouraged me and gave me access to knowledge and tips that would otherwise have taken years to accumulate. Thank you so much – it’s been an incredible journey!”

“gordonwatanabebarbaraschaettiJo offered us her wealth of experience and enormous enthusiasm, both of which were very helpful to us as we finished our manuscript and began the journey towards publication. Perhaps most helpful of all was her “47 Steps to Self Publishing Success” and the information she provided on online and virtual publishing options. Her belief in what we were doing and her support in the process were invaluable.”

finn1c“Over the years, I was feeling an increasing urge to break away from my occupation as an IT specialist and get into freelance writing and maybe even become an author. Although I knew I had certain writing skills, I wasn’t sure where to start and how to evaluate my skills. It added to my confusion that although my mother tongue is Danish, I intended to write in English. It was crucial to get a neutral evaluation of my English writing skills. Jo Parfitt’s course, “Definite Articles” is a great help to get started and learn not only how to write copy that publishers want but also how to get a publisher interested. I warmly recommend it.”
