Julie Ink helps authors navigate the business and marketing aspects of their writing careers. Being your own advocate is part of being a professional writer. This can be uncomfortable for some, but authors who make the effort to market themselves have an undeniable advantage over those who don’t. In a career that includes years as an acquisitions editor, publisher, and director of digital rights at Writers House, Julie Trelstad had helped hundreds of authors bring their books to market. In working with authors, one theme has emerged: building an engaged audience requires consistent and strategic effort. This is where I can help. I’ve developed a series of tools and processes to help authors gain confidence in your message, find more readers, convey their own unique brand, and have fun doing it.
