Over the past fourteen years, I’ve helped small businesses expand their reach and exposure through social media, digital advertising, creative campaigns, effective newsletters, SEO, content writing, and more by over 300% of their typical traffic, all by using data-driven strategies.
I’ve also worked with traditional and self-published authors to create author platforms, implement marketing campaigns that work, and design and manage digital ads, including AMS, Facebook/Instagram Ads, Google Ads, Pinterest Ads, and utilize remarketing audiences.
My job is to help you tell your author story and promote your books in a way that gets readers to one-click, using goal-driven strategies that align with your budget and your needs…so you can get back to your job – writing amazing books.

The “Brand Me” Author Marketing Package
One of the hardest parts of being an author is developing a unique author brand that is authentic to your stories and your voice. Unfortunately, many authors believe that a logo or a specific look is enough to create a brand. Not so! A brand is much more than a logo, and requires the necessary tools to put that brand into practice.
I will work with you to develop your brand – from your central theme, to an appropriate look for your intended audience and your genre(s), to defining your author voice – as well as focus on practical marketing tools that we’ll use to implement your brand and give you a going-forward plan.
Services Included:
- Purchase and read-through of your most recent release
- 1-hour strategy session via Google Hangouts or Skype
- Review of current assets (ex: Facebook groups, website, newsletter, and social media platform effectiveness)
- Brand Book that defines your brand message, your assets (logo, colors, font, tagline, etc), your brand voice, messaging style, central theme, and ideal reader profile
- Annual marketing campaign that includes a social media and newsletter calendar planned around any upcoming releases as well as practical marketing strategies and recommended platforms
- 1-hour review session via Google Hangouts or Skype
Rate: $1,500
Timeframe: 30-day turnaround
