Testimonials

"Before meeting Roxanne, I didn’t have a clue on promotion and advertising of my books on Amazon Kindle. After only a few sessions under Roxanne’s tutorship beginning this past February, she has turned a floundering project into a hopeful literary endeavor that has quickly made me over $400 in revenue as of this date. Not only does Roxanne possess the technical know-how, she is a kind and patient teacher who can offer easy to understand guidance to even those of us who are computer illiterate." Thomas Dorsch

"This class was incredibly valuable to educate me on what is recommended beyond self-publishing a book. The critical steps needed to build an online presence and boost sales through advertising strategy were covered. Tips and techniques shared with class attendees will allow us to utilize this information to market our books after publishing. I appreciate the knowledge gained and know it will make the process go more smoothly." Carrie Stilwell
