Overview
I am an experienced book marketer that can help you create and implement successful marketing strategies. I worked on a wide range of genres during my time at Penguin Random House, but especially love psychological thrillers and literary fiction. My passion for reading has brought me here and I'd love the opportunity to work with you to help spread the word about your book!
I've worked with many fiction and nonfiction authors to create marketing strategies for pre- and post- publication. I can help authors build their social media platform and engage with their audience, by creating content strategy calendars to balance promoting the book and talking about themselves in an organic manner. I am able to set up and manage your Facebook advertising campaigns—from writing enticing copy, targeting the right audiences, and optimizing conversion rates. The same goes for Amazon advertising campaigns where I can gather a multitude of relevant keywords, manage bids, and test copy lines. I am also able to schedule and book price promotion newsletters centered around a one or two week price drop campaign, focusing on sending your book to fans of the right genre.

Working with Roxanne was an absolute delight. This was my first time putting a book together with Reedsy professionals, and Roxanne was an astonishing final piece of the puzzle for me. She was extremely personable and patient, and answered every question I had, even suggesting marketing tips and helpful information I didn't even ask about. My book, Rome in Moonlight is selling because of its ex...

Roxanne was wonderful. She really helped provide marketing that reached many more people than I had done on my own. She also gave me great tips that I can use going forward. I learned a lot from her. She was kind, professional, and so helpful. I am really happy I was able to work with her!
Shari Cross, August 2020
Roxanne was refreshingly upbeat and positive for the many weeks we worked together. She took the time to bring me up to speed on the marketing strategies we engaged, and she was very responsive. I highly recommend Roxanne, especially for authors going through the process for the first time!
Michael Breschi, July 2020
The results of my attempts to market my books myself have netted little to no return. I've conducted online research, talked to other authors, and even paid for an online course, but no matter what I did it seemed like nobody was listening. I came to the conclusion that my lifelong struggle to connect with people was the source of the roadblock and I wouldn't be able to get past it on my own.
