"The INKfluence started it all. I was just an overwhelmed author sitting on gorgeous special editions with no clue how to finance them until The INKfluence team picked me up and held my hand through this process. Not only has The INKfluence been an amazing partner in this Kickstarter, but they also have some awesome artists on staff! They put up with my numerous revisions and notes to help my pipe dream come to life."

"From our first meeting, I felt like Inkfluence was in my corner cheering me on. They designed the absolutely most gorgeous cover, enchanting character art, and that book box—to die for. Every step of the way Dana and Amanda gave me great advice and support. I can't sing their praises high enough. My thanks to the whole team and staff at Inkfluence."

"The INKfluence not only saved me time, money, and stress but also gave me peace of mind. Before partnering with them, I was working with a broker who charged 3x as much and required a minimum order quantity 4x higher. The INKfluence not only helped me reduce costs but also guided me step-by-step in the global printing process, giving me the confidence to properly price my rewards and ensuring I’d see a solid return on my investment."

"The Inkfluence group helped me produce a special edition for a reader-author event. The book turned out even better than expected, and the service was outstanding. In a world of bots and AI help desks, Dana's personal touch (lots of communication at every stage) was a standout. I highly recommend them!"

"By complete chance I stumbled on the INKfluence. Dana took care of EVERYTHING and kept us informed and managed to not only get the Special Edition order in for our in-hands date, but her suggestion about the extra padding saved our books at the event since many of our boxes were torn by the warehouse in the USA that received them. I have so many plans for more INKfluence, they have opened up so many possibilities."

Jeanette Rose

"I was sent to Dana by an author friend. I knew nothing about how to develop a special edition and even less about what I wanted mine to look like. Dana held my hand through the entire process and the end result was magnificent. I can hardly wait to share with my core readership. Ten stars is the starting point for all the love I have for the product and the process. I love what they did for me. Quick, professional, and she delivers what she promises."

"Working with Dana Claire from The Inkfluence during our Direct Sales for Indie Authors event was a remarkable experience. Dana's session on Kickstarter for authors was not only informative but also engaging, showcasing her ability to make complex topics accessible and enjoyable. Her participation in a live Q&A added immense value, demonstrating her deep knowledge and enthusiasm for helping others. Dana’s energy and fun approach as a speaker significantly enhanced the event’s dynamics. From an organizational standpoint, Dana was a dream to collaborate with. Her excellent communication skills and generosity in sharing her expertise were apparent throughout our collaboration. She went above and beyond, making her an invaluable asset to the event. In summary, Dana Claire is a knowledgeable, energetic, and highly professional individual whose contributions greatly enriched our event. I highly recommend her and The Inkfluence to anyone seeking expertise in authorship and crowdfunding strategies."

"The process to getting published is a daunting one, particularly the most important part, the pitch! Dana provided me very good insights and clarity for my pitch, which was successful! A guide doesn't tell you what to do, they tell you what you need to know. Trust in the advice and insights that Dana provides. I have returned to her for guidance and expertise and I am glad to be able to call on her when needed!"

"My one-on-one author session with Dana was super helpful. I was feeling frustrated because the advice I had received from other authors (just write more books and you'll sell more) wasn't working. After publishing 15 books, I was stuck at the same level of sales--next to none. Dana took the time to listen to what I'd tried and brainstormed a crazy amount of marketing ideas for me! She was so genuine and gave me new hope for my author career. I left our session with an improved outlook on marketing. Thank you, Dana!"

"Dana Claire is a wealth of information wrapped in a fireball of energy and enthusiasm. Her wide knowledge of the writing and publishing world is invaluable. In 30 minutes, Dana provided focused and spot-on advice regarding agent pitches. She homed in on my manuscript’s highlights and called attention to words and themes that resonated. She also provided insight regarding what to expect during a pitch session and what questions I might anticipate. Dana’s advice, coaching, and feedback gave me the assurance I needed to go into the session fully prepared and confident. Receiving coaching from Dana is a priceless gem in any author’s cache. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone considering it."

"I loved my pitch coaching session with Dana. She knows whereof she speaks. I received ten excellent loglines for me to use or mix and match, and advice on how agents like to proceed with a pitch and how long to speak. Then I tried out her technique with her and she gave me personal advice on what and how I was pitching, which I will definitely be able to use to rework my pitch. Great session!"

Cathy Parker

"Dear Lord, please give more opportunities of being coached by the wonderful Dana Claire. She is a brilliant, inspiring, and motivating teacher – a perfect antidote for someone like me in need of a confidence burst. Her pitch coaching session was exactly what I wanted and hoped for. Now I feel I can actually pull off a successful pitch."

Wendy J. Dunn

"Not only is Dana friendly and down to earth, she is a book marketing genius. In only 30 mins she was able to take me from a nervous wreck about pitching to an agent to cool, calm and confident. By the end of the session I was really clear on exactly how to market my book to an agent. I knew the areas I had nailed and the areas I needed to enhance. Dana's help has been invaluable. If you are contemplating pitching to an agent I highly recommend investing in a session with her. You'll love it!"
