Emily worked diligently with me and in a timely fashion. I could trust her and rely on her expertise. Many warm thanks for such great support!

Sara Adrien, June 2022

Really wonderful. Very patient with a guy who has absolutely zero publishing, social media, newsletter, internet, and/or life experience.

Brian Livingston, March 2022

For some reason, I couldn't seem to be understood about preferences. And I understood the outcome would be different than it was.

Barbara Coe, February 2022

It was awesome to work with Emily. Everything she promised was delivered early. Definitely will be keeping her in mind for my future releases. She also gives wonderful advise in how to properly market and target your audience effectively.
