Overview
I've spent the past 8 years working in digital marketing at Big 5 publishing houses helping authors assess their platforms, crafting content campaigns, and advising on websites, influencer outreach, promotions, video, SEO/SEM, social advertising, and newsletters.I've worked on a broad range of fiction and non-fiction, including Z: A Novel of Zelda Fitzgerald, 100 Deadly Skills, The Taming of the Queen, As You Wish, and As If: The Oral History of Clueless. I especially enjoy working with debut authors and on inspiring non-fiction.With a custom plan I can help you focus your online efforts to reach the right people for your book with the right messaging.
