In our clients words...

93% of our clients write and publish their book in one year or less. That's incredibly RARE the industry. Here's a sampling of our author endorsements, acknowledgements, and praise to help explain why...

“Anyone who’s talked to me knows how I feel about Nicole and Niche, and Nicole as a human being, so I don’t need to gush about that. I often joke that my book-writing experience felt like being on a train, looking out the window at all the mistakes I would have made. And it’s true. I kept thinking, “I would’ve never thought of that,” or “I would’ve completely fumbled that,” or “That would’ve been totally wrong if I’d done it on my own.” I honestly cannot imagine writing a book -- especially in a professional context -- without that guidance. Getting clear on the strategy was essential. Nicole was especially helpful in shaping the structure in a way my audience would respond to. It wasn’t the book I initially wanted to write; it was the book I should write for my audience --while still honoring the original inspiration behind it. And I’m so proud of the result. It became something actionable for me a real point of leverage in my business, rather than just a fun exercise of getting my thoughts on paper. Eighteen months later, I’m still using it as active leverage in my business."

“As for this book-writing effort, oh my goodness. Niche Pressworks and its smart team of dedicated women (and men) are simply the best at what they do. They guided me (and held me accountable!) every step of the way. Nicole Gebhardt is at the helm and was instrumental in guiding me to shape my morass of thinking into a focused book plan. The Niche team included great coaches along the way: Dena Patton on greatness mindsets and storyteller Michael Hauge. Kim Han project managed me through the steps to help my overwhelm and to ensure I knew what the heck I was doing at every phase. And the Niche editorial team: Ellen gave me my reality check on the “big picture” of the book and did so with equal parts smarts and grace and Melanie was with me chapter to chapter, telling it to me straight when I was off-message and providing me with her gentle wisdom and writing smarts to get my messaging back on track. Melanie, you are Kind Dynamite. To everyone at Niche, thank you. This book would have simply stayed swirling in my head as it had for years if not for you.”

Karen Lisko
Kind Dynamite

"[Nicole's] experience in marketing, book writing and publishing, and her lived experience as an entrepreneur have been invaluable. The process, first of all, met me where I was in my journey … I had no business: I had an idea and a strong desire to write a book. They met me where I was, and they surrounded me with all of the support that I needed to be successful.”

Tracy Edmonds
Wild Hair

"I've self-published 5 bestsellers and coached over 1000 people to be bestselling authors and publishing coaches. When it came time to publish my sixth and most important book to date, I called Nicole Gebhardt because I knew her expertise and dedication would elevate my work to the highest standard. She and her team are the best at what they do."

"Nicole and the Niche Pressworks team [made] writing and publishing a book an amazing learning experience - I not only learned a lot about myself, my business goals, and my process, but I learned a ton about the publishing world. I am 100 percent sure I would not be a published bestselling author without Niche!"

Andrea Liebross
She Thinks Big

"From start to finish this was an amazing experience. The whole team at Niche Publishing helped make my journey to become an author a reality and guided me through the unknown.
The step-by-step process is so well thought out, documented, and guided that all I had to do was follow the instructions. Thanks!!"

Shawn Smith

"Nicole makes it easy to get published! She helps you every step of the way and I highly recommend Niche Pressworks Publishing. I've published 3 books (one became an Amazon international best seller in 5 countries) through Niche Pressworks. Her professional guidance and marketing strategy is worth EVERY penny! Don't just publish, publish with strategy (and Niche Pressworks)!

"I actually interviewed a lot of different publishers to see who was the right one to work on this project with and Nicole really stuck out for one specific reason ... She understood the entire strategy behind what we were trying to do."

Create Don't Capture, and the Create Don't Capture Journal

“Kim, you have been amazing. The whole Niche Pressworks Team has been amazing. Nicole, thank you for sharing your incredible gift with the world. I’m so glad we are connected. I never would’ve accomplished any of this without y'all's help. And I am so proud of my book. I am very excited to share it with the world and that’s because of all the love and support in the background. I don’t know that I ever would’ve had the guts to write a book and share it on my own and now once I get this under my feet and work it, work I’m excited to see what God has planned for me next. You are one of the most professional, organized, efficient, wholehearted, and goal-oriented team I have ever worked with."

"Your process really helped me clean up my thoughts, and it also revealed a lot of thoughts that I didn’t even know I needed to think. The camaraderie of the group is excellent and the support. You have a very nice model and I appreciate what you do. It’s very evident you really want to help people."

Mastering Mind Mud in Schools (and 2 more in 2026)

"Thank you to Nicole Gebhardt and the team at Niche Pressworks for their coaching and support throughout my book writing process. It's not like, ‘Here’s how you put 35,000 words into a book.’ It’s everything else like, ‘Should you [even] write 35,000 words?’ [Nicole] got me thinking about low-ticket offers and medium-ticket offers too. I've only done list building or 'become my client,' nothing in between. To have the full [marketing] system and move people along, you've got to have the in-between.

Jeremy Keil, CFP, CFA
Retire Today

"I’m happily surprised by how much it's more of a full business plan versus just a book [plan]. There’s a lot more business plan than marketing in it. I might be changing some big parts of my offer now and how I do things… That's pretty transformational for us. I'm pretty excited about that."

Good Dentist, Poor Dentist

“The work would have created a terrible Uh-Oh with the contents of this book without the first-class strategic coaching of Nicole Gebhardt of Niche Pressworks. Nicole was my fairy godmother who worked her magic to shift my academic mindset to the more practical, business mindset needed by my readers. Kim Han has been an exceptional project manager, keeping me on track with deadlines and logistics. I’m indebted to Tami for her beautifully imaginative cover design and her patience with me and my ever-changing title. And I owe more thanks than I can muster to Melanie, who has been an editor extraordinaire. I couldn’t have been luckier than to land Melanie with her clarity of mind and vision to see what I could not throughout the writing journey..”

Sally Perkins
From Story to Action

“From guidance on the writing itself, to ideas on how to publish, promote, and more, I found the team at Niche beside me all along the way. As a result, I was motivated to form my own business, using the book and content to promote my services and make my next career the one I’ve always wanted… I’m forever grateful for their support and their unique process backed by solid, proven know-how, expertise and creativity that all come together to guide authors, even first timers like me, to do their best and create something they’re all proud of. And I am; very, very proud of it. Thank you Niche for all that you’ve done for me and for others, and for walking with me every step of the way."

Indie Bolman

“It takes love, trust, and support to write a book, more so to write a book quickly.
So, thank you .... Nicole, Kim, Tami, and the entire team at Niche Pressworks, whose commitment to independence and integrity is palpable in everything they do. Thanks especially to Julie and Anna for their grounded and insightful feedback throughout.”

Bree Rosenblum, PhD
And and The And Journal

"Let me start by thanking Nicole Gebhardt, the founder and genius behind Niche Pressworks. Without your guidance, I wouldn't have even started this process, let alone finished it. Michael Hauge was masterful at listening to the point I was trying to convey, and allowing me to see the readers’ perspective so I could capture their interest. I know for a fact that without Michael’s help and wisdom, my book would not have had the impact I desired."

Lisa Campbell
Beyond Bookkeeping

"Thank you, Nicole, and Niche Publishing Team. This process of writing my book has been life transformational. It represents a shift in my entire life perspective. I got the unique opportunity through my work with Nicole to examine all aspects of what I was involved with - shake it up – prioritize it and then create a vision that will now serve me and others the rest of my life. I am forever grateful for my book, Yes! Commit. Do. Live and the opportunity to touch the lives of others."

Lisa Charles
YES! Commit. Do. Live.

“I came in unsure if I even wanted to write another book. But the Visionary Planner and Nicole’s structured process made me rethink everything — my offers, my audience, and the kind of business I want at this stage of life. I now have a brand and business model that fits my future — not my past. This wasn’t just a writing challenge — it was a strategic redesign.”

Kris Taylor

“Thank you for the amazing journey of becoming a published author. Words cannot express enough the assistance you gave and level of commitment you showed.”

Barbara Fagan
So What? Now What!

“This book could not have been possible without the visionary guidance of Nicole Gebhardt, Kim Han, and the great crew at Niche Pressworks. They brought me the amazing team I knew I needed throughout the entire writing and publishing process from A to Z. That includes my editor, Abby, who understood the vision of the book and provided helpful structure, organization, and a keen eye to bring it to completion. Thank you so much for providing all of the support that Niche Press people bring to an author in my case. You all truly made the difference for me. Even after having books in my head for 35 years, you finally got them into print!”

Jim Kaminski
Closer to God

"I've been in journalism and PR for 30 years -- so I'm both a writer and a marketer. Did that lead me to walk into this whole book-writing thing thinking I had it in the bag? You bet it did -- at least until Nicole started counseling me. She quickly reoriented my thinking to make sure I wrote the right book for my audience, then coached me through each step of the process -- title, cover design, book structure, length, writing style -- to ensure I had the best chance of success. The results -- No. 1 best-seller status -- don't speak for themselves, they speak for Nicole's insight, expertise and investment in me. Nicole's insight, expertise and investment in me helped me write the right book -- and it's been more successful than I ever dreamed.”

Gary Schneeberger
Bite the Dog

"The popular phrase "it takes a village" couldn't be truer when I worked with the ever so talented Nicole, Kim, and crew at Niche Pressworks. Their experience brought the literary insight, longstanding knowledge, and resilience I needed to make my book series the success it is today. They diligently guide me through the entire process where we proudly hit #1 bestseller author status in multiple categories! When it comes to the book publishing process, I was beyond grateful to have this 'village of knowledge' to navigate and educate me always having my best interest at the core of it all."

"Working with Niche Pressworks was absolutely the best decision I've made in this book writing journey. Their attention to every detail including things I hadn't even considered like a mindset coach, a storytelling coach, and a strategic coach for planning the future of the book, much less an editor, a book designer and PR. Wow! And I own all the rights. They are the future of publishing for authors in an industry that is changing as rapidly as every other industry. With their leadership, my book became a bestseller on Amazon and that is priceless for its future, my mission to help women dial in longevity. I will always recommend them!"

“Since releasing my book I have seen a 30% increase in my business. Not only does it help provide clout and respect with other health professionals, but we give it to every person that walks in our doors and once they read it their commitment increases and we find that they are in an even better mindset to start their journey with us. It's the best thing I ever did for my business!”
