Quiet Storm Business Feedback

What people are saying...

Story Development Client

“Danielle brings herself into the world of the writer and then occupies that space to bring out the author’s gems and digs out the nuggets of the story. She is a master of “presence”, as little or as much as needed. I wouldn’t have considered this project without her.”

- Laura Y Dungan, Center of Creative Change

Quiet Storm Author

"When I began looking for a company to publish my book with, I talked to a few companies who tried to take advantage of my lack of experience. Then I talked to another company who wanted me to completely sell the rights to my story. Which would have allowed them to manipulate, change and ultimately do whatever they wanted to the story without my consent.

 

When I found Quiet Storm I fell in love with this company's mission to provide voices like myself the opportunity to be heard. Danielle has been right next to me the whole process. She respected my story and my rights to my story. She has been very informative and knowledgeable and has been willing to share what she knows with me. I love working with Quiet Storm Services because they are honest and genuinely care about people. I feel like our values align and I wouldn't have found that in another company."

"The Kansas Food Bank appreciates the opportunity to be a beneficiary of the sale of the book Being Wichita Women.  At the food bank, we work hard to support Kansans, including women in the Wichita area, who struggle with food insecurity. Funds from the sale of the book will support our Filling the Gap program which provides meals for children during two very important times when federal USDA meals are not available: spring break and at the end of summer."​

“As a Wichita woman for my 62 years young life, I really enjoyed reading BEING WICHITA WOMEN. It is good to learn that other women in my hometown have endured, survived and succeeded. These stories are meaningful because they are real. I’m hoping for Part 2 book with more stories!”

“Working with Quiet Storm Services has been an amazing journey for me. This is not just about writing a book. This is a process of exploring yourself as you create your story. Quiet Storm gives me a safe place to examine my experiences in life, while offering support and guidance through the process. In addition to that, Quiet Storm guides you through the publishing process and helps find resources to see your dream realized!”

“Where do I begin? I KNOW how hard this is — telling your story, being vulnerable in public, pulling it all together to produce a book you can hold in your hands. But to pull together nearly 30 women’s stories?! WOW. This book answers unequivocally the question, “Is it just me?” That answer is a resounding NO. You are not the only one uncertain, unsure, struggling to overcome past trauma, anxiety, depression, abuse, illness, disability, or a feeling of “otherness.” This book affirms we are a community of women becoming, being... when just to “be” is hard. I was thrilled to read the stories of women I know — Emira Chavira Chaparro, Melody Miller, Stephanie Byers, Lacey Cruse, Danielle Ramirez, Michelle Vann, Danielle Johnson, Katie Dakan, and women I don’t know but would like to: One of the best pieces of writing is by Janet Federico, telling the story of her first night sleeping in her car in a Walmart parking lot and how she then began to reclaim her life. These are stories of reclamation. Read them, and know, it’s not just you. Available at Watermark Books & Cafe and www.quietstormservices.com.”

“There is so much power in telling your story. Your vulnerability empowers others to open up. Telling your stories creates space for healing yourself and healing others at the same time. How powerful is that? The world shifts in powerful ways when women come together.”​

"Working with Danielle and Quiet Storm Services has been one of the best experiences. She takes the intimate setting of working with a friend, and meshes it in the most wonderful way of working with a growing business. Her attention to detail is phenomenal; and her kind and gentle approach makes taking criticism easy and helpful. Anyone looking to expand their horizons and give writing a shot, I highly recommend Danielle Ramirez and Quiet Storm Services. This experience hasn’t always been easy on my end, but Danielle stays with me every step of the way and gives me the encouragement I need to get the job done with ease."
