Hello, I’m Pauline, and I’m an author too
With 6 of my own books, I have a personal track record of book marketing success.
(Want to peek? There are 1200+ Amazon ratings for my debut novel.)
When we work together, you gain business solutions from an experienced marketing partner. I will create your author website with meticulous attention to your author goals.
If you value quality and efficiency, delivered in a friendly and supportive way by someone who’s “been there”, then we should get to know each other.
Start by scheduling a friendly consultation so we can discuss your needs.
“As for the website that Pauline developed, it has far exceeded my wildest expectations. It is beautiful, contains every element I had hoped it would contain, is easy to navigate, uncluttered and streamlined—in short, it's one of the best book-promotion websites I have ever seen.”
— Prof. Patrick Hurley, nonfiction author
Love details? Hate surprises? Me too! I aim to empower you to make an informed investment decision.
