"They say everyone’s got a book inside them…it’s getting the book out that proves the tricky part! Andrew Griffiths has the midas touch when it comes to helping authors bring their books to life. He breaks down a seemingly insurmountable task into bite sized chunks, providing, guidance, support and accountability at every step of the journey. Becoming an Amazon bestselling author had a profound impact on my life and my business and I have Andrew to thank for that.” — Cian McLoughlin

“Publishing a book was one of the most rewarding things that I have done in my life. Andrew was able to give me clear and concise plan that drew my book out of my head and onto paper. Using his framework, I was able to share my message in a coherent and meaningful way - he really brought my dream of becoming an author to life. If you ever have the opportunity to get Andrews help in writing your book I wouldn't pass it up.” — Katherine Maslen 
 “They say that everyone has a book in them but how many of us have extracted it to the point of being able to hold it in our hands? Well thanks to the guidance of Andrew Griffiths I am able to say I am one of those. I am not going to say it was easy because it was far from easy however it was made a whole lot less painful with the advice and experience of Andrew. His unrivalled knowledge of the planning, writing and distribution of books is second to none and my business is flourishing as a result. Being able to head into a meeting with the ability to hand over a book sets me apart as the industry thought leader and it instantly sets me as the authority in the room. All of this would not have happened without the nurturing and occasionally brutally honest encouragement from Andrew Griffiths.” — Tim Heinecke “I knew that I wanted to write a book to differentiate myself from my peers, but I had absolutely no idea where to start. Andrew has a framework that chunked the process down into manageable steps that made the process smooth and easy to complete. During all his presentations, he not only provides awesome content, but he also has a passion for writing that shines through and you can't help but get caught up with his boundless energy and enthusiasm and before you know it you've written a book.” — Amanda Fisher

“Andrew Griffiths believes there is a book in everybody, and he is undoubtedly the best person to get it out. Thanks to Andrew I am the author of two books with a third on the way. His methodology, frameworks, enthusiasm, experience and deep subject matter expertise makes writing your first book (and subsequent books) fun and almost easy. Having recently attended one of Andrew's Bali retreats, I can assure you that along with receiving generously delivered content, you'll also have a heap of fun.” — Tracy Angwin

“Andrew, I would not be an author without you. I never believed that I had it in me and for this and so much more, I will always be incredibly grateful.” — Natasha Hawker

“Ok, so I wanted to write a book, I knew that much. I did know I wanted to compose my piece, make my mark…whereas what to write about, how to write it and how to get it published – now therein lays the problem.
 
 What I didn’t know about the `writers route`, is what Andrew Griffiths knows best – better than most. The what, the how and the who, is where AG shines, this is his space. Knowing he had my back all the way through the `minefield of writers process` was reassuring and a comfort... he was calm, patient, pushy, a counsellor and determined (he even offered the odd hug when required) for that I thank him.” — Dean Hawkins "Andrew Griffiths is my guiding light when it comes to being an entrepreneur. He motivates, inspires and leads by example. Most importantly, I am an author today because of Andrew, his process and his commitment to getting my best work out of me. Thank you Andrew. I will forever be in your debt. Because of you, I am an author.” — Ronsley Vaz

"Who would have thought I had a book in me?... Certainly not I, yet Andrew was able to help me see the value in the everyday things that I do and take for granted, and then show me the framework for turning my experience into a book. He helped me to break it down into manageable, bit sized chunks and also provided advice around cover design and publishing. I cannot speak highly enough of both Andrews support and the results the published book has had on my business. Thank you so much Andrew!" — Adam Hobill

"Andrew Griffiths I am indebted to you for you kindness and your inspiring and motivational guidance, that saw me get through numerous episodes of writers block. The fact that you have made yourself accesible to reach out for help has made this process of writing this book easier and a lot of fun and for that I am extremely thankful for." — Dr Irene Prantalos

"A big thank you to those who helped turn this book into a reality especially Andrew Griffiths, my book mentor, for helping me pull out all of that information rolling around in my head and put it into the framework that became this book. Your encouragement got me through the tough times and really helped me finish this book writing journey." — Elizabeth Gillam "Thank you to the extremely gracious, caring and intelligent (multiple) best selling small business author and book writing mentor Andrew Griffiths. Without his enthusiasm, encouragement and genuine desire to help this book would of been ten times harder to complete, if at all." — Jason Wier

“A big thank you for your guidance, energy and endless willingness to give your time. What an amazing journey so far! Can’t wait for the next bit.” — Jen Dugard

"How lucky am I to have Andrew, Australia's number one small business author in my book writing camp. I definitely would not have been able to put this book together without the valuable input and assistance I received from Andrew. He has been one of my solid rocks and I can't thank him enough for his love and generosity throughout this writing process." — Kylie Bartlett

"To Andrew, the coach- the first day I spent with you, you put me at ease and 100% made me realise "I can do this". Thank you so much for your book writing system." — Mike Campbell “Andrew is such a wonderful writing coach. His complete understanding of the writing journey and its challenges, combined with his lovely personality and sense of humour, made the writing process not only achievable but an experience I will always remember with fondness.” — Miriam Sandkuhler

"This book would simply not have been possible if I didn’t have the direction and inspiration from a real powerhouse in the Australian publishing industry who, as a successful author himself, has provided the framework, guidelines and focus I needed to get the job of writing and publishing this book done. Thank you Andrew Griffiths, I owe you." — Mitchell Filby

"I thought I'd breeze through the writing course. After all, I'd already written my book. I just needed some help to polish it. Then Andrew applied his considerable experience. And I realised I'd written the wrong book - the style just wasn't right for my business. So, with Andrew's guidance, I re-wrote my book. And now I not only have a book of which I'm proud, but one that's well-tailored to my business. Thank goodness I attended Andrew's course." — Paul Henderson

"To Andrew Griffiths who is one of the most inspiring, friendly and sharing human beings that I have ever encountered. Without your guidance I could never have written this book." — Philip Horan "Andrew Griffiths thank you for laughing at me the first time I met you when I said I had nothing to write about. You inspire and light up every person you touch." — Sarah Hunstead

"I was fortunate indeed to have the insights, encouragement and good humour of respected author Andrew Griffiths. Andrew you are an outstanding inspiration to many authors." — Scott Charlton

"Special mention goes to Andrew Griffiths, writer extraordinare. Not only are you a prolific author, you are a giving teacher who thinks nothing of getting up at the crack of dawn to show us how to spin amazing stories from confusion and mess. Thank you, Andrew" — Sharon Billingham

"Writing my book was one of the best business decisions I've made in years, and I literally couldn't have done it without the guidance from Andrew. His knowledge and experience, not to mention his framework for how to put a book together, was invaluable!" — Josh Masters "Dear Andrew, a big thank you for your guidance whilst writing this book. I never thought writing a book was possible, until I met you." — Caroline Kennedy

“Before I began writing my book I felt completely overwhelmed at the thought, I guess like most people but Andrew said two things which gave me some confidence and encouragement. He said “Everyone has a book in them waiting to be birthed” and “Get the book done in 40 days at around 1000 words per day. Both those phrases gave me the drive to get it done as I came to believe in myself, all thanks for Andrew. Andrew gave me a great feedback early on and since writing the book has given me amazing tips on how to leverage the book. In fact, that’s been the third most important phrase of his “Now that you have the book, make sure you leverage it” A massive thank you Andrew Griffiths.” — Ziggy Peter

“I had always dreamt of writing a book, but it felt impossible until I met Andrew Griffiths. His program taught me how accessible writing a book actually is, and within 12 months I had written not 1 but 3 books! He is great at what he does, the true epitome of a writing coach and provides excellent advice when it's required. Without Andrew, my books would still be just a dream. Thank you Andrew for helping to make my dreams a reality and for having a profound impact on my life and career.” — Rebecca Coomes

“AG is the bomb. A steady and inspiring guide that provided a rich framework for writing a compelling book. He also gets that it isn’t the book but leveraging the book that counts. My book is now an Amazon bestseller and in stores around the country. It opens so many rich discussions with clients and people I never dreamed of meeting. None of this would have happened without AG and I recommend him for anyone who wants to nail a book.” — Greg Layton 
 "I had never thought that I would write a book until I met Andrew. From first seeing him on stage, through the seminars and webinars he gave I felt supported, guided and in safe and capable hands throughout the book writing process. But the real essence to Andrew isn't just in his knowledge of book writing it is his personality and generosity. I am really am not sure if I have ever met a nicer, more genuine and caring person, who takes pride in his work and cares so deeply about everyone he works with. I cannot rate Andrew more highly - Carolyn S Dean, authour of Fully Booked - Dental marketing secrets for a full appointment book' — Carolyn S Dean

"When we think of writing a book, most of us can't get past the thought of the blank page. Andrew breaks through this fear by providing you with a process & individual building blocks that will help you discover your unique story, along with bringing to play his own irrepressible enthusiasm that has even the most uncertain stepping into their author boots". — Peita Diamantidis


"This book would not exist without Andrew Griffiths. When I sent him my first pitch we agreed that wasn't really the book I wanted, nor needed to write! Book Pitch Take 2 was the early draft of what became this book. It takes time, energy and commitment to write a really good book. Without Andrew's expertise, encouragement and unwavering support I wouldn't be able to call myself an author! Thank You for what you do!" — Ingrid Thompson



"My book, How to Thrive under the NDIS, would never have been written without Andrew’s encouragement and support. I am proud to say it is now in its 6th reprint and the response from my readers has been overwhelming." — Fran Connelley "Without Andrew Griffiths I would not have written my book which became an Amazon #1 bestseller and changed the lives of thousands of women. Andrew not only is a gifted writer, he is a fantastic mentor and an amazing human being. I have also attended Andrew’s workshops on how to build a business around speaking and I still use the valuable information that he shared. Whether you want to write a book, or build a business around speaking Andrew Griffiths is the person to work with." — Angela Counsel

"Andrews desire to help entrepreneurs articulate their passion through books and public speaking is second to none. I had the honour of working with Andrew for several years through Key Person of Influence and and it was an absolute pleasure at all times. I have never met anyone that has the ability to deliver so much value to so many people in a way that each and every person feels like they are the only person in Andrew’s life. To this day I question whether he uses twins or stunt doubles to achieve all that he does. There is no greater skill for entrepreneurs than their ability to effectively communicate their ideas. If you want to be the best, work with the best. Andrew will not only bring out the best in you, but you will enjoy every second of the process." — Callum Laing

"I am grateful to Andrew Griffiths for his encouragement and mentoring. Without his influence I would not be the author of my gorgeous book Stork Talk – delivering strategies for your Ideal Birth. I just ran with Andrew’s belief in me and trusted the process he shared and it worked. He is a remarkable communicator and shares generously his keys to success with excitement, humour and passion. I can’t thank you enough Andrew. " — Cheryl Sheriff

"Andrew Griffiths gave me the confidence and techniques to write my first book. This book has paved the way to numerous industry awards and business opportunities for me. I owe a debt of gratitude to the big hearted man they call "AG" — Andrew Mackie-Smith “Andrew Griffiths is nothing short of incredible when it comes to helping to author a book. Strategic, well thought out, and manageable, Andrew makes the book writing process a breeze. His enthusiasm is infectious, his process flawless, and the results speak for themselves. I never thought I’d become an author, and thanks to Andrew, I now am.” — Kevin Spiteri

"We hear the quote “There is a book inside of everyone”. It sounded unbelievable, but Andrew not only found a book inside me, but inspired me to take my business to the next level. When you meet him you will instantly understand the connection and passion Andrew has for everyone who wishes to write a book and share their knowledge and experience with the world. Thank you so much." — Master Paul Mitchell

"If it wasn't for Andrew Griffiths relentlessly hitting me over the head with his frameworks I wouldn't have even known where to start. By following AG's advice I ended up with a super professional book that got to #1 best selling book on Amazon Australia." — Finn Peacock "Andrew made the impossible, possible. I thought only people that are driven to write and have mastery over the english language could write a book. Well it seems that Andrew can make an author of anyone, including me. "The Landlord Mindset" would never have happened if not for Andrew. " — George Astudillo

"Andrew Griffiths who epitomises ‘gentleman’ is one of the most humble, amiable and giving people I have ever met. His generosity with his time, knowledge and wisdom is boundless. His expertise and advice for novice authors is priceless. I could not recommend this unique human more highly. It has been one of my life pleasures to make his acquaintance." — Anne holland

“You made writing a book possible. Thank you for your step by step guide; it made something complex easy to achieve. I literally couldn't have done it without you.” — Gill McLaren

"Without Andrew’s guidance, advice, never ending support, and book writing framework; my books wouldn’t have been written. I always thought of myself as a Speaker who occasionally wrote articles. Now I truly embrace the title of Author because not only is the proof on my bookshelf, but Andrew chose me as one of his Founding Contributors for Smallville which confirms I can actually string a sentence or two together in the written word, and I’m very grateful for that."-
