Cape Town, South Africa
DO YOU EVER FEEL LIKE THERE IS MORE FOR YOUR WRITING?
What do I mean by more, exactly?
|
How about more freedom, more inspiration and more time to tell the stories of your soul?
Or more revenue, income, sales, and profitability from your stories?
Or more resources to build a team that supports your writing?
Or, how about…
|
Being able to travel more and write stories that inspire and empower your audiences?
Or to be surrounded by a tribe of more ambitious and talented writers just like you?
|
If your soul is saying “Amen!”
And in the back of your mind you secretly know that doing what you’ve always done is DEFINITELY NOT the path to prosperity… (because, you’ve already tried that and gone as far as you can go)…
|
We’d like to invite you to our Retreat…

Greetings Storyteller,
I’m Ardre Orie, Celebrity Ghostwriter and CEO of 13th & Joan Publishing House.
My sole mission as a storytelling guru and author brand strategist is to empower you to visualize your highest power by leveraging the untold stories in your soul. I want to see you reach your peak potential, establish a brand presence that speaks volumes about your talent and skills and to find innovative methods to monetize your message with proven strategies that work.
My career as a storyteller spanning over 30 years will serve as a springboard for your success. All of the knowledge that I have acquired along the way has been curated just for you. We will work together to create a story and a plan that you can only dream of for your legacy as a storyteller
Are you ready? I sure am! I can’t wait to see you in Cape Town!
I’m Coming Home!
Telling the Stories of Our Souls,
Ardre Orie
HOW CAN YOUR BUSINESS CHANGE?
Some kind words from our clients…

Erica’s enthusiasm is infectious, her knowledge invaluable and her loyalty never ending. Since we’ve revamped our online presence with Erica Powell & Co., we’ve been able to attract a new level of clientele. Although our previous site was still driving us traffic, we got more of the price shoppers and very budgeted clients. Our website was 6 years old and no longer represented who have grown into. It’s nice to refer people online now with confidence instead of the disclaimer that we are in need of a revamp. We have seen an increase of approximately $10,000 per contract for this year. We are now in a position to take on fewer clients, with greater reward.

CONNECTICUT

Since working with Erica Powell & Co. I can truly say I never ever imagined the potential of my business and the new heights I would reach! The mindset I had before was let’s work as much as we can and charge a lower amount to get more clients, which in turn led to exhaustion, burning out, and not truly focusing on the important aspects of my business. Not to mention my personal life being neglected. Today, I don’t even know that girl anymore!!! In under one short year I have gained complete control of my business, my brand, my employees, and have raised my prices dramatically. I’ve made more money in bookings in 6 months then I ever have in 1 full year. I am reaching a more global market and gaining opportunities that I never could have dreamed of. I’ve officially become a CEO of my own company. I’ve gained control over my health and personal life and now have much more time with my family and friends while still making the profit I want. All of this is my new reality and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Thank you will never be enough, Erica and team, for all you have done and continue to do for me!”

After 18 months working together, my revenue has tripled over the previous year. My pricing has greatly increased (3-4x+ what it used to be). Clients are all “dream clients”. Together, we have looked at my business globally and are the process of further developing my branding, marketing and sales strategies for both the short and long term: with actionable measures for success. I highly recommend Erica as a mentor/coach. In addition, my website was completed by Erica and her team to help me attract and drive business. As business owners, we all can use a team of advisors or at the very least a business coach to challenge us and keep us focused and accountable to our goals. I truly believe the investment in Erica as my coach is a gift to my business and to myself that will keep on giving!
