Overview
The marketing I do for you is built on what I call author infrastructure. After the elements of this infrastructure are in place, you have places to meet with your following and attract the press. Although building is not magic, sometimes magic happens because of what I build for you.
My expertise has been published in Writers’ Digest and Southern Writers Magazine, and I have spoken on book marketing at agents & editors conferences held by Historical Novel Society UK and HNS North America, Nonfiction Authors Association, and Oklahoma Writers Federation. In 2017, I was named a SXSW Interactive Mentor, perhaps in recognition for the technology I created that helps authors who cannot afford a publicist.
Here’s what a few clients have said about my work.
- As debut co-authors of a multi-category nonfiction, we were able to rely on Stephanie for her guidance and connections. More importantly, she met her commitments in a timely manner and contributed good exposure for our book, such as a video interview at Huff Post.
- As a result of Stephanie’s promotion, I have picked up speaking engagements, consulting work, and radio interviews. I highly recommend her and will definitely use Stephanie in the future.
- One of the characteristics I cherish most about Stephanie is the quality of who she is, for which no amount of money could adequately compensate. She is a cheerleader for the possibility of my work being extraordinary and making an impact in the world.
