"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!"

"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!"
