I believe sales are made the same way stories are made — through authenticity and creativity.

In a world saturated with books, having a personal brand empowers you to own your success and connect with your (current and future) readers. After all, no one can represent you quite like you can.

You may be thinking, “Isn’t this done by my publicist?”

Yes and no. It’s your publicist’s job to promote you – which will involve a bit of branding finesse – but you are ultimately responsible for your image. By defining your brand, you make their job of pitching you easier and increase your likelihood of landing a deal.

Today’s readers like to be over-informed and often choose their next read based on recommendations and connections. This doesn’t mean you need to open the pages of your journal and post it online for all the world to see. What it does mean is that it’s time for you to take control of your narrative through vulnerability, conversation, and strategy.

“My agent is currently shopping around my latest book, and I’ve been working with Jessica leading up to manuscript submission. It’s a lot of fun working with Jessica. I enjoy it. My staff enjoys it. My wife who helps out with a lot of the implementation enjoys it. Jessica really knows what she’s doing and perhaps most importantly, she makes it fun.”
