Overview
Hi, I’m Marquina, and I specialize in helping authors build momentum and
sell more books. With 18+ years of experience in book marketing, I’ve
worked with *Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster,
Hachette, and Macmillan*, as well as bestselling and debut authors across
nonfiction, business, self-help, and fiction genres. My experience includes
supporting major book launches, managing high-level author networks, and
working directly with authors to expand their reach and engagement.
I now focus exclusively on Book Review Campaigns—helping authors secure a strong foundation of early reviews on Amazon. Through *personalized
outreach and strategic follow-ups*, I connect with your readers on your
behalf to encourage thoughtful, timely reviews. My approach is highly
tailored, ensuring you feel supported and confident as your book reaches
more readers.
My minimum fee is $4000 — This includes a 2 month campaign around the launch of your book. $2000 for the first month and $2000 for the 2nd month after launch.
Let’s work together to get your book the visibility it deserves!

Riffle is a great service and simply gets the job done - in the world of publishing, there is a lot of snake oil and gems are hard to come by. I highly recommend Riffle and it's been a contributor to my continued success in publishing.
