The writing process will be simple and collaborative.
Your responsibility will be to provide me with the key points, incidents, thoughts, lessons, and experiences for each of the twenty chapters.
My responsibility will then be to transform those ideas into compelling, professionally written chapters filled with humour, emotion, practical wisdom, engaging storytelling, and motivational insights.
Rather than merely recording events, I will craft each chapter so that readers not only enjoy your story but are inspired to apply its lessons in their own lives.
As a newspaper columnist, I have spent years learning how to capture attention quickly and hold it. My column has appeared in more than sixty newspapers across India and in publications such as daily in the Khaleej Times in Dubai, The Morning Star in London, the Daily News in Sri Lanka, The Independent, Bangladesh, and as a monthly column in magazines in the United States.
I have been a recepient of The Examiner, Golden Pen Award for my writing, was felicitated by a cabinet minister, and interviewed by America’s largest circulated magazine, ‘Christianity Today’
On certain days, my readership has crossed six million. My work is also translated into Hindi and Urdu, reaching readers from many different backgrounds. My books also with God’s mighty blessings and plays I have written have also been hugely successful. Everything that I have taught over 3500 students, maybe many more, in my classes on writing, and storytelling, goes into your book.
Yes, indeed, everything this journey has taught me about storytelling, humour, emotion, clarity and connecting with people goes into your book.
You bring me your experiences, ideas and wisdom.
I help transform them into a book people will not only read, but remember.
WHY DO I CHARGE FOR THIS WORK?
Most newspapers pay me very little for publishing my columns. I also do not charge readers for the daily Bob’s Banter column that reaches them every morning.
Crafting and editing books is therefore not merely my profession. It is the work through which I sustain my life and continue my calling as a writer.
When you entrust your book to me, your payment does more than help create your book. It sustains the writer behind the work and supports the continued growth and reach of my daily column.
In helping me, you are also helping Bob’s Banter travel farther, touch more lives and continue speaking hope, humour, courage and truth to millions of readers.
THE GIFT GOD HAS GIVEN ME
In Exodus 31:1–5, God speaks of Bezalel, whom He filled with His Spirit, giving him wisdom, understanding, knowledge and skill to create beautiful work.
This passage reminds us that creativity and craftsmanship are not merely human talents. They are gifts entrusted to us by God for a purpose.
I sincerely believe that the insights and abilities I possess are gifts God has given me. He has entrusted me with the ability to take another person’s experiences, wisdom and ideas and shape them into words that can touch lives.
Today, I use that gift to bring your story alive, help it reach more readers and, through my work, glorify Him.
Warm regards
Bob (Robert Clements)

Here are some testimonials for you to read….
Book: The Art of Listening. Author: Xavier Albuquerque
“Working with Robert Clement on my manuscript was a truly rewarding experience from start to finish. Robert doesn’t just edit—he elevates. From our very first pass, he brought a rare combination of sharp editorial detail, deep respect for tone, and exceptional craft to the page.
He took my raw ideas on listening and helped shape them into a clear, engaging, and powerful book—all while ensuring my authentic voice remained front and center. He helped me streamline the flow, and ensure every chapter resonated with precision and heart. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or partner in bringing this book to life, and I highly recommend his expertise to any author looking to bring out the absolute best in their work.”

Book: Seeds of Character. Author: Fr. Jaga Royan David
“I recently had the privilege of having my Value Education series, “Seeds of Character,” crafted and edited by Mr Robert Clements—an accomplished columnist, author, and speaker known in our WhatsApp group as “Bob’s Banter.” He was given one month to edit over 1,500 pages, yet completed the work in just 15 days.
After his edits, the books for grades 1–10 took on a completely new outlook. The language became smoother and more accessible for both students and teachers, and the values and learning objectives were made much clearer. The case studies and stories grew more descriptive and engaging. His frequent questions to clarify content and his thoughtful suggestions for chapter titles provided valuable insights that improved the series’ coherence and impact. The result is a far more readable and effective set of materials.
Working with Bob was a pleasure. Regular communication—by phone and WhatsApp—helped build a warm working relationship, and his commitment and dedication exceeded my expectations.
I will definitely approach Mr Robert Clements for any future editing or crafting work, and I highly recommend him to any writer who wants their work polished and made more readable.”

Book: Fruits of the Spirit Author: Usha Thomas
I have been passionate about writing for a long time, and in fact, my journey began with Mr. Robert Clement when I attended a short-term online course on writing skills. It was very useful and motivating to start putting my thoughts together.
I sent the first draft of my manuscript to my daughter, who gave me an honest opinion: something was missing in what I wanted to convey to my readers. I was disappointed and rather stuck.
There is something called divine intervention, and I saw the message from Mr. Robert in the WhatsApp group of his students, offering to help those struggling to complete their manuscripts.
Just a thumbs-up to this message and humble being who has so much to his credit, called to help amateurs like me.
After a short discussion, I forwarded him the manuscript, and within a matter of weeks, he crafted and edited it so beautifully. It was so magical to see the transformation it needed.
The book doesn’t just speak of women across different eras; it reflects their true characters, the fruits of the Spirit, and how, even today, it helps women reflect, relearn, and rewind.
I encourage all those who are struggling with their manuscripts or even considering beginning this journey to reach out to Mr. Robert and be assured of getting the best help.
I am very satisfied and grateful for his assistance, and I am confident that the book will hit the shelves with his seal!
