testimonials & happy words
Best $500 I ever spent. I am so grateful to walk into the holidays thinking about my girl and all I hope to share with her.
You trust me, and because of that, I trust myself even more (so I can write whatever I need to say without second guessing myself).
Thank you girl, I couldn’t have done it without you and truly appreciate you. Big 🤗
Thank you so very much Brannan for all your support. It's been an amazing journey and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.
Oh.My.Wow. I couldn’t stop reading today. A pager turner. What an exquisitely harmonious ride.
Oh my God, if there were 10 stars I'd give it. Brannan took an unintelligible, hand-written journal, got on the phone, and produced a manuscript to be proud of. I don't know how she did it, but the results are superlative.
Brannan! These pages are stellar--I love the voice, and I'm excited to see the whole book. You've done a great job at keeping every moment engaging! The quality of work on this is super high, thank you!
Awesome! I’m so glad you were a part of this. Yes, the people I’ve met along the way have been super special to me. You are now one of them 😀
The Legendary!
Thank you AGAIN. You are an amazing coach through this process.
You play so many roles.
Brannan writes in the opposite of a transcript-y style. There was a conversational tone to the MS while maintaining the appropriate level of academic vocabulary that the Author requested.
Brannan has improved her sequence of ideas, created cleaner transitions, and made the meaning crystal clear throughout. This set of pages was fun, engaging, and right in line with the voice the author has asked for through the preview pages.
Hey! Ummm so that was amazing!! Thank you!!!! Your insights are sooooo fabulous. You’re going to kick ass at fiction :heart:
You’re such a talented writer.
This one gets it…
This is the most excited I’ve been about a back cover copy, like ever…
I just couldn't resist telling you now what an AMAZING job you did. Which is really saying something here. So happy that Kacy and I manifested you on this project.
My god this is so much better than I ever imagined. I’ve tried to write this opening chapter so many times and you did it perfectly. This made me really want to read more and I love it! Thank you so much for taking my words and making them interesting and readable. I have tears I’m so happy, thank you so much.
This is way better than I imagined.
[Referencing our calls:] I just missed my therapy appointment, that’s what it was.
You’re brilliant in so many ways…
My perspective of myself has changed completely. I didn’t expect that at all.
Brannon Sirratt!!!! Kudos and Standing Applause to you, with bowed heads! WOW! I’ve read 50% of the reader guide and have been trying to stop and reply to your email to acknowledge receipt. I’ve been on the go all day but this read has been the joy of it.
I must say this is VERY GOOD!!! A mammoth amount of work has gone into these drafts and your labor is paying off! Can hardly put it down. You and D make an incredible team. Your synergy and compatibility are evident.
Thanks for “opening my eyes” to these profound truths. That’s why I trust you wholeheartedly with this entire project. Reminder: Writers are human: Editors are Divine!
So damn proud of you for wrangling those boys (and by boys I mean middle aged white dudes who now know YOU ARE THE BOSS)
"You're getting irritable.."
"I'm protecting your best interest."
^^^THAT'S how you fucking do it
You helped me go through a transformation here.
Your ability to navigate that mind-maze proves your value, worth and skill set. Invaluable!
Wow. Just wow. I had to print this out so that I could actually touch the words on paper. You've done such a beautiful job with this. To see this book start to come to life is magical. You pulled together threads from all of our conversations into just a few pages that convey with depth, humor, inspiration and beauty the importance of why I am writing this book. I love it.
You've done a lovely job of smoothing out the edges of some big concepts and adding enough detail to pieces to provide context. I was left wondering -- did I tell her those things? Or did she just know? Or did she research? In any case, it is very seamless and smart without being academic.
I am so grateful that you are my partner in this. A thousand times over...thank you.
So, let me say again the most important part of all of this: thank you. I am stoked, touched, inspired, and so deeply grateful.
Brannan consistently captures the author's voice...a cohesive, entertaining intro that will keep the reader turning the page.
I’m not sure why this struck me so, but it did. You write really illustratively.
Brannan, you did such a stunning job on this ms. Seriously, I bow to you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Brannan captures the author's voice and offers insight where the author may have doubts. She's able to lead the author and incorporate feedback well. I've yet to come across a weakness.
Brannan, wow this is a heroic amount of work on your part. It’s really well-done.
It’s definitely memorable: in my mind I kept picturing it as a movie with a Morgan Freeman type narrating, retrospectively, the story of his life. I had NO idea how gripping and awesome and accessible the story was soon going to become.
You captured the ethos of my spirit and ran with it as your own!
This girl is fucking good.
Are you going to get on more stages?
We love you Brannon! You are absolutely amazing and so incredibly talented!! Your guidance and support made the whole process so much easier!
Thanks for gently, compassionately, and beautifully pulling me into shape. You are the VERY best!! And let’s do this again sometime!! Promise not to land you with 130,000 words though!
Without what you’ve written — inclusive of nailing my voice — I wouldn’t have been able to do what I’ve done. Besides, haven’t I told you that you’re never ever ever allowed to leave me? I’m keeping you for forever. 😊 You’ve put the puzzle of my brain together. Now I am doing the same with what you’ve given me. It’s meta. I think I’m downloading you, downloading me. How is it that you’re in my head as both you and me?
I finished yesterday’s call feeling very positive. I think I will really enjoy the flow and am grateful for the probing, additional questions you ask to flesh a point out more and to ensure we are keeping on track.
Brannan has a gifted way of knowing exactly what an author needs and adapting to meet those needs.
Brannan does what she says she is going to do. She never makes excuses. She asks for what she needs upfront, communicates her boundaries and she doesn't back down from a challenge. She is one of my favorite scribes to work with because I always know what I'm going to get with her -- amazing work, delivered on time. She earns the trust and respect of every author.
I LOVE IT!!! This is fantastic. You have set the right tone without question.
“The” Brannan Sirratt has been both my heartbeat and pulse throughout the entire process.
Brannan - You're like a midwife who helped me give birth to my first baby. Breathe, breathe... PUSH! I'm grateful.
Great amends. On point. Concise and clear and valuable. Tone is good, easy to read, pleasant flow. I like it. And you’re awesome!
We ebb and flow as we mature in expending energy, but you have a gift for shaking up systems while inspiring sincerity—and it’s needed!
Quick reply to say I LOVE BRANNAN ❤️
and I'm the founder / chief cheerleader of the BRANNAN FAN CLUB 🏆
You do a wonderful job of making me sound very smart 😊
Thank you for all the help, support and positivity you have offered in this process. It has been a fantastic and enjoyable experience.
I really like your questions, Brannan.
I FEEL the work forming into something I feel incredibly proud of and as if it is an extension of me, of us, our work, our passion and our future. Thank you Brannan for sharing your gifts to bring that to life.
Thank you for pulling it out of my brain. You helped me grow and see myself differently. You are my Guide.
Good question. You should interview people for a living. ;)
It was a great call. I like it when my brain is pushed to the max, trying to understand different concepts down to their core so that you can reconstruct them into a new understandable insight. If this was clear and obvious, we wouldn’t need book. 😉 That shit gets my juices flowing. It’s The Work.
I confess I miss our calls. Such a huge part of an exciting experience for me. You really have been wonderful.
Almost done narrating the book and I just wanted to thank you again. Reading it out loud is a different level of perception of this book and you really captured what I wanted to express. It has been a great joy and honor to work with you and thank you. You really added a lot to this book and I am grateful and proud of it. If I never sell a copy of it I am still proud of how it turned out. :pray:
You are the eternal bright spot, Brannan.
Brannan; Wow.
Brannan, this is a beautiful book and owes much to your scribing and dedication.
Thank you so much Brannan for making this an incredibly fun journey. I have felt held and guided and honored. What a wonderful balance you were able to keep – mining us for our content and knowledge, while being the pilot through the process!
SO MUCH LOVE TO YOU BRANNAN. OH MY GOD. I am speechless. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us!!
So we can definitely start with LOVE and deep sense of relief that you are going to help our message actually be read. Your crisp, conciseness makes me breathe easy. I feel SOOO grateful for you.
OMG, you made me cry. The ending is so good. SO…YES PLEASE, more of that.
Holy shit I FELT SEEN reading this.
Brannan, you carried the weight of this load and you made it look easy when we all know it was incredibly challenging. You zigged and zagged, adapted and held boundaries - essentially did everything a STAR could do to keep the project on track. I am in awe and eternally grateful to you...You're a damn rockstar, to put it simply.
Brannan distills the essence of vast ideas into understandable language.
BE BRAVE WRITE MAGICAL STAY WILD
His scribe has to be ultra-smart and quick. Tucker recommended someone like you and I figured I’d just ask you....I’m so pleased, we need a boss on this one.
I cannot even begin to express my gratitude and thanks for Brannan Sirratt. You were my greatest partner in writing this book. Your professionalism, love of the material, belief, enthusiasm, experience, talent and skill have made this project a pleasure beyond words.
OMG I LOVE IT!!! It draws you in and is drawing a scene that’s vivid in the mind. And it’s easy to see what’s the point and how the metaphor connects.
Brannan, this is fantastic. The writing is crisp, clean, professional and tells me exactly what the book is about... Your writing is always sharp but it's inspiring to see a good writer continually get better.
I boo hooed out loud alone at my desk (no joke). It is so good. And I SEE it. And my body remembers being that character. And it shows the good bad and ugly of it. Thank you!!
You’ve risen to the challenge with considerable skill and some very clever writing.
This book wouldn’t have taken this direction without your coaching. You got me to write the book I wanted to read.
Jesus, Brannan. I got NOTHING. There is something transportive about the writing here. I actually feel like I’m back in time and place. It’s phenomenal. … This is hitting the page SUPER strong.
This thing is so beautiful. The writing is so clear and poignant, and it sucked me in. Thank you for this joy ride!
Brannan does not mess around with her writing, that is for sure
I knew through our original work together that you were getting my concepts and my voice. I also knew that there was no way that I could explain fully or you could know the nuances of what I was saying fully to put the book together. But there was also no way that I had any chance in hell of writing the book without you coaching it out of me and putting a framework together for me to respond to
...what you provide is so much more than I could have ever gleaned from a few hours in class and a FB forum.
Let's write a lot of books together in this lifetime?
This is very on target and generous. I applaud your courage to approach these difficult times while homing in on our secret sauce here at SG.
These questions are just—you're really good at what you do. The space you leave in between and everything...I haven't had this level of thought partnership. It's just the best I've dealt with, with anyone at Scribe and really anyone with this from a writing standpoint. Thank you.
I am so excited about this book, I can hardly stand it. We could not have done this without YOU. Not just any ghost writer…without you. Thank you for helping birth this into the world.
Your writing is top-notch. I see a lot of Scribe work, and your work stands out.
I just read Move Fast Break Shit Burn Out and gotta give you props. You NAILED it. Turned out really, really great and feels exactly like Tracey and Shannon
You've been brilliant to work with Brannan - and there is NO POSSIBLE WAY I could have gotten this far, or produced something of this quality without you! I'll stay in touch and give you updates - you are not quite through with me yet : - )
I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly grateful I am to have you as my editor, both because you are an amazing person and because you are a fabulously talented and knowledgeable editor and it doesn't hurt at all that you "get" my story.
