Why Choose Me?

Cutting-Edge Techniques Built For Indie Authors

My services are designed from the ground up for independent or self-published authors. And because book marketing is constantly evolving, I derive strategies and tactics exclusively from peer-reviewed research studies published within the last 5 years. My recommendations are more supportable than anecdotal stories that rely on success bias and personal opinion.

Affordable Menu of Services

Many indie authors are working on shoestring promotion budgets so I price my services competitively. I strive to generate more revenue for your books than my services cost. My à la carte services start at just $49.99 allowing you to choose only the services you need.

Experienced Marketing Expert

I am a marketing professional with 30+ years of experience working with startups and Fortune 500 companies using persuasive techniques that drive sales. I understand how marketing works in the 21st century and I know which tactics drive discovery, readership, and sales for independent authors like you.

Tailored to Your Needs

Some authors love to work with tech but others would rather avoid the hassle. That’s why I personalize my services to your needs and tech skill level. I can either design and run a marketing campaign on your behalf – or teach you how to do it yourself.

How It Works

Three Steps, No Surprises.

  1. Start free: Take the self-audit or book a 30-minute call.
  2. Pick your services. Anything under $250 you can buy directly in my shop. Larger projects start with a proposal after the call.
  3. I deliver. Every strategy, tactic, and piece of content is designed and written by a human.
