WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
ABOUT BERNADETTE
"She is extraordinary! I hired Bernadette as my ghostwriter - co-writer on this project in the end - because she’s just so diligent and extraordinary in what she does. She was the ultimate team partner in making this project come to life, that I’d struggled with for a number of years. I wish the publisher, who initially signed me up, had connected us from the start because it would have been a dream process - like it was for the 12 months we worked together."
Radek Sali, Former CEO swisse Vitamins
"Firstly, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to Bernadette Schwerdt, our ghost-writer, for all her help in making this book possible. Thank you for sitting with us for hundreds of hours, for helping us sift through the 200,000+ words we’ve written over the years, and for guiding us through the writing and publishing process that enabled us to find our voice, shape the narrative, and craft the stories that make up this book."
Gabby Leibovich, Founder catch.com
"I wish I'd done it earlier! If you're thinking about working with Bernadette, I'd absolutely say it's a no brainer. I can't recommend her enough. Do it and do it now."
Kobi Simmat, How to Build a Business Others Want to Buy
"I am immensely grateful for her expertise and commitment. Working with Bernadette was an absolute game-changer for me. I couldn't have navigated the process alone—it felt like a daunting task to bring my ideas to life in the form of a book.; she helped bridge the gap between my ideas and transforming them into a tangible manuscript. Committing to that process was truly transformative—and it's been an incredible journey."
Amy Miocevich, Author of 'The Very Good Marketing Guide'
