Overview
๐ก I help serious fiction authors grow their readership, optimize their marketing, and build a sustainable book businessโwhether theyโre launching a new title or scaling their backlist.
No fluff. No guesswork. Just proven strategies tailored for serious authors who want consistent resultsโand control over their sales.

โ Data-Driven Growth Plans
I cut through the noise using real ad metrics, genre benchmarks, and reader behavior to build a custom plan that works for your booksโnot generic advice.
โ Strategic Ad Campaigns That Build Traction
Whether you're launching Book 1 or scaling Book 5, I help you run ads with purposeโso every dollar builds momentum, not confusion.
โ Conversion-First Optimization
We fix whatโs holding your book backโwhether it's your blurb, categories, or positioningโso every click counts.
โ A Strategy You Actually Understand
You're not just getting a planโyouโre gaining clarity, ownership, and repeatable systems to grow your business for years.

๐ซ Anyone who hates data or resists feedback
๐ซ Hobbyists who arenโt ready to invest or follow through

๐ They've wasted money on ads beforeโnow they spend with confidence
๐ Clients have scaled their backlists and built a predictable income stream with proven marketing strategies.
๐ They finally feel confident in their marketing planโbecause they understand the numbers and see the results
๐ I only take on a limited number of authors at a time so I can deliver deep, focused support. If youโre ready to treat your books like a business, letโs talk.

From a $60 Loss to $779 Monthly Profit with Data-Driven Ads
Andy was stuck losing money on ads and struggling to convert readers. After adopting a data-driven strategy, adjusting ad imagery, and refining pricing, Andy grew monthly revenue from $160 to $1,332 while reducing ad spend inefficiencies. His optimized strategy became scalable across multiple series.
21x Increase in Sales for a Debut Fantasy Author in 12 Months
Despite being a debut author, Pam struggled with discoverability and reader engagement. With a revamped cover, optimized Amazon metadata, and targeted advertising, her fantasy novel sold 5,372 copies in the first year and earned over 700 reviews. Ads consistently drove traffic, outperforming traditional price promotions and creating lasting momentum.
3x Increase in Sales, 4x Growth in Book Ratings
Peter came to me feeling overwhelmed and without a clear plan to connect his book with readers. After just one month of coaching and direction, we updated his book cover for under $100, optimized his blurb, categories, and keywords, and launched a targeted advertising campaign.
The results were transformative. His ratings jumped from 16 to 65, and his sales tripled. Peter is now writing his next books and applying these lessons to replicate his success.
40x More Readers in 48 Days with a Strategic Relaunch
After selling only 19 copies in five months, this debut Christian Adventure author saw a dramatic transformation with a clear marketing plan. A new cover, optimized blurb, and targeted ads led to 795 new readers in just 48 days, a 510% increase in email signups, and significantly higher engagement.
2592.66% increase in page reads in just 4 months
Despite a fantastic book, Avery struggled to gain traction, investing hours in Facebook groups, newsletter swaps, and blogger outreach with minimal results.
One transformative coaching session with us led to a tailored marketing plan that suited her budget and genre. In just four months, her income and sales soared.
Page reads leaped from 6,454 (June 2020) to a staggering 173,784 (Sept 2020). With only two books, she generated nearly $1,400 and amassed over 500 ratings on one book alone!
