You’ll Walk Away With:

Here’s what my clients have accomplished with the marketing we have done and what the industry says about me:

“The most valuable parts of Jennifer’s services were the one-on-one consultations and the structure she provided. The most important result I accomplished from working with Jennifer was that she got the job done and I can now move my book project forward. Jennifer takes the mystery out of publishing.”

Author of Making Rumours (Wiley; April 16, 2012) and Grammy Award-Winning Co-Producer of Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, Tusk, Mirage and Live albums, music by Colbie Caillat and others

“I had written a book and knew I had a fantastic product. I also knew if I didn’t get the right marketing strategy, nobody was going to know about it. Jennifer held my hand and directed me to do a business plan. My thought: I have done them before, no big deal. Then, she started perfecting the answers. Then, I thought having a well written plan is great, but is it really necessary, like anyone is going to read it?

After the plan was complete, the pieces started to come together OR should I say ‘cut and pasted’ together. When I market my book now, everything I need is within the business plan—and all I do is cut and paste! I have been marketing my book, and have gotten MANY positive responses. Jennifer is there for every one of them helping with ‘NOW WHAT DO I DO?’ She truly is a wizard at marketing. If you have the opportunity to work with Jennifer, I would jump at the opportunity again.”
