From our very first conversation, Nicky encouraged me to believe that my book could become everything I hoped it would be. I arrived with an idea, a vision and plenty of questions, and she listened deeply, understanding not only what I wanted to create, but the difference I hoped it would make in the lives of the leaders who would read it.

One comment from that very first meeting has stayed with me throughout the journey. Nicky said she could see the book becoming a guide for future women leaders. That was, and still is, my dream. The fact that she saw that potential so early gave me confidence, belief and a real sense that my book was in safe hands.

The publishing journey felt seamless from start to finish. There was always a clear pathway, with each stage carefully explained, making what could have felt overwhelming both manageable and enjoyable. Nicky and her team were incredibly patient and supportive as I worked my way through the many decisions involved in bringing a book to life.

Together we worked towards my goal of publishing Dive Deep to Rise Higher for International Women’s Day, and throughout the inevitable highs and lows of writing a book, I always felt encouraged, supported and in safe hands. From editing and formatting to cover design, proofreading and the finishing touches, the care, professionalism and attention to detail from the whole team were exceptional.

I absolutely love the finished result. The cover captures exactly what I had hoped for, the quality of the book is beautiful, and I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve created together.

A huge thank you to Nicky and the entire Discover Your Bounce Publishing team for your encouragement, expertise and, when needed, the gentle hand-holding that kept me going. If you’re looking for a publishing partner who combines professionalism with genuine care and encouragement, I couldn’t recommend Discover Your Bounce Publishing more highly.

Having worked with Nicky on the development and writing of my book, I was delighted to continue with the Discover Your Bounce team for publication – I already knew how supportive they were, and it felt like working with a trusted friend. They’re a small but mighty team who genuinely care about publishing and helping authors realise their dreams. Passionate, knowledgeable, and calming – which might sound like a strange thing to say, but navigating the different stages of publishing can be stressful, especially the first time, and they were a steadying influence throughout. They provided great resources and answered every question quickly and thoroughly. I’m already looking forward to doing it all again when my second book is ready. I’d recommend them to any first-time author who wants expert guidance without the overwhelm, as well as more experienced authors looking for a publisher who listens and takes real care in bringing a book to publication.

 Working with Nicky, Sharon, and the team from Discover My Bounce made publishing my book feel effortless. From the very first edit to the final cover design, every step was handled with care and expertise.
A special mention goes to Mark, the cover designer, whose lightbulb insight helped me nail the perfect title. Writing a book is such a personal journey, and Nicky and her team made the publishing process feel just as personal, ensuring I felt supported, heard and in safe hands from start to finish.

Working with Nicky and Sharon at Discover Your Bounce Publishing was nothing short of exceptional. From the very first conversation, Nicky’s warmth, encouragement, and genuine interest in my book and the subject matter  made me feel at ease. She guided me through every stage of the publishing process with clarity and patience, answering my endless stream of questions with kindness, genuiness  and  never did I ever feel I was bothering her.
She is very approachable  and professional  and is absolutely committed to  excellence. The care and attention to detail that went into the production of my book, When Therapy Goes Wrong – Learning from Challenges and Improving Practice, was evident . The final result was amazing , and I couldn’t be more in love with my book.
Just to add, the wider team at Discover Your Bounce Publishing reflected the same values — professional, responsive, and genuinely invested and interested  in creating the best possible outcome for me . They made what could have been an overwhelming process feel  collaborative, and even enjoyable.
I wholeheartedly recommend Discover Your Bounce Publishing to any author seeking not just a publisher, but a true collaborator  who will bring out the very best in both the book and the writer.

Nicky Marshall

Author. Speaker. Mentor.

Nicky is an award-winning, international speaker and best-selling author. She is also a mum, nan and wife and loves nothing more than family time.

On the 26th of July 2010, Nicky suffered a stroke as a result of a scuba diving accident. She lost the use of most of the left side of her body, her speech and memory were affected and she was unable to drive her manual car to the three month old business she had created. She had four growing up teenagers at home and Nicky wondered how she was going to carry on.

Nicky’s background is holistic therapy and stress management and with A levels in Anatomy & Physiology she had all the tools she needed for recovery, so she set out on an epic bounce back journey with no idea if she would succeed.

Three years later Nicky was fit, 100% recovered, able to dive again and ready to sell the business that she thought she would have to wind up in 2010.
