What Writers Say about Our Courses

"Lucinda reviewed my online presence herself, providing actionable suggestions and insider dos and don'ts. And while it's difficult to put a price tag on my diminished sense of overwhelm, the bespoke direction I received from Lucinda, not to mention the library of takeaways I now have access to, the Marketing and Publicity [Course] Session for Writers was worth every minute and penny."

Stephanie Hlavin, Memoirist

“As a content marketer and aspiring author, I'm a big fan of Lucinda's workshops. In her recent half-day marketing seminar, though I've been a marketing leader for over a decade, there were vital elements I was missing that I learned. She provided helpful and tangible feedback for my business so that I could improve my lead generation, and the guest speakers were also top-notch. Best of all, she provided guides and examples afterward. I highly recommend it if you want to take your book writing and marketing abilities to the next level.”

Alicia Garibaldi, Podcaster and Self-Help Writer

"Lucinda's workshops and courses are indispensable for aspiring authors. Her marketing workshop offers invaluable insights and practical strategies, empowering authors to strengthen their platform, impress agents, and secure a book deal. Highly recommended!"

— Anonymous, Memoirist

"I beyond recommend making this investment in your journey to published author."
