Do you want us to do your social media for you?
Authors and other Creatives! Do you loathe the work of social media? We’ve opened up new agency services to take some marketing work off your plate. Get your time and sanity back and let us do our “Consistent Presence” package. There are more details at this link here, or watch the video to learn more!
So you might notice this site is a bit….wonky.
It’s chaos!! We pulled the blanket off the basket of our business one day, and it all went crazy! October 2022: Our site vanished. Poof. Gone. Webhost deleted it all and took off. Ummm.
So, as of October 2022, we’re rebuilding it all. We restored what we could, then took a moment for a little cry. 🙂 And… we are working on all the missing pieces. We’re here. Expect missing things for a bit. Thanks for your patience.
This, too, shall pass.
Silver Award for 10 Ballet Dancers
What an absolute honor this month, during the online ceremonies of the “Benjamin Franklin Book Awards” from the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA), that we learned our book “10 Ballet Dancers” has been awarded a SILVER medal in the category of “Interior Design: Children’s and Young-Adult Books.”
So many people make a book “happen,” and we are grateful for every person from our family, staff (much of which is family), authors, illustrators, and those in our resource “tool kit” who we call upon to make the magic happen.
Receiving the BFA has been a dream since we created the “official” company in 2015. We’d say to all of you who are working towards making something great in the arts: please stay with it. Work and focus on getting to your own levels of excellence. While art and books in themselves are reward enough, to have a book honored like this is both humbling and inspiring.

Our latest workshop/lab helping you get your social media ready for 2023.
Let’s remove your excuses and help
launch a fantastic 2023 where you’ll reach and connect with audiences, readers, and great customers.
Confused, Lost, Burnt Out, Overwhelmed, Frustrated?
Another NEW YEAR is upon us, and you still aren’t where you want to be? You are so done with theories and making resolutions …and…you know you won’t be able to keep them.
The core essentials of marketing have not changed in decades. However, HOW marketing is done changes frequently. Perhaps you are a bit confused by the “option shock” and want someone to show you WHAT needs to be done and HOW to get it in place and working. You’re not ready to hire staff yet, but sheesh, all of this is making you a bit crazy?
Or, you might be doing okay with your work but want a refresh on the latest ideas and services, that is, a tune-up for 2023.
Okay, we hear you. What if we gave you the steps weekly and showed you where the (no cost!) resources are ready for you to use?
What’s the offer?
