Shannon Donnelly – Marketer

For the past 15 years, I’ve partnered with hundreds of authors—independently and through publishers of every size—to deliver marketing strategies that move the needle and are straightforward to implement. My focus is simple: ROI-driven results without wasted time or money.

My consultation services are ideal for authors who already know the basics but want clarity on what truly works, which platforms to prioritize, and how to use them effectively. I provide a streamlined, step-by-step guide built around three essentials: product optimization, review generation, and customer discovery. This framework cuts through digital clutter and ensures your book reaches the readers most likely to love it.

My strategies are lean, practical, and designed for real authors juggling real lives. There is an overwhelming amount of information about marketing being thrown at authors these days. I want to help you go from overwhelmed to empowered, giving you ways to get the word out about your book while still having plenty of time to write the next one.

I’m deeply invested in my clients’ success. I don’t vanish once I hand over the plan. I stay available by messaging on Reedsy as you implement the strategy, offering guidance and support along the way. My goal is to help you build not just sales, but a lasting audience for your work.

At the moment the only service I am offering is marketing strategy. I am not able to implement marketing campaigns on behalf of the author or write blurbs at this time.

PLEASE NOTE: I will never contact you via e-mail, Goodreads, or social media offering my services. I only work with clients who send requests to me through Reedsy. There are scammers who will use the names and likenesses of marketers and contact authors directly. Don't click on anything they send you. Stay safe and stick to working directly through Reedsy, which vets its marketers and offers protection and support for everyone.
