Hi Friend,

I’m deep in the throes of putting the final touches on my Heart-Centered Marketing for Authors workshop for the Women in Publishing Marketing Summit -- live tomorrow -- and I’m super excited.


I did stay up late doing prepping because -- night owl.


If marketing your fiction has been feeling complicated, overwhelming, or you’re getting pulled in five different directions by competing advice (and competing agendas), take a breath with me.


Exhale.


Then come join us tomorrow.


We’ll go step by step, and you’ll leave with a worksheet and your own answers -- one clear next move at a time.


In my 20+ years in book marketing (I was a book publicist in my 20s before I was a book coach), I’ve seen how the to-do list can start to feel like a wet, heavy wool sweater.


I’m here to help you find your path through the jungle -- mixed metaphor and all.


Join us.


Women in Publishing Marketing Summit -- this Friday and Saturday.



I'm presenting this workshop:


Heart-Centered Marketing: Build a Values-Aligned Visibility System
