"As a newly published author of The Museum, it has been necessary to build my platform. Katie’s wealth of knowledge and technological skill have been instrumental in putting me on the right path. I appreciated the way Katie provided options and ideas but always came back to what I wanted and what I could manage making my journey my own. I highly recommend Katie Davis’s services. She is efficient, knowledgeable, highly skilled and extremely generous. I am continuing my work with Katie as I go on this journey… Thank you Katie.
- Susan Verde, Author

Katie Davis is an expert, not to mention social media wizard. I hired her to go over my Kickstarter campaign. She shared a wealth of information, which I implemented into my project. It’s now more clear and concise. Katie is warm and funny and lives her  motto of reciprocity. It made my day when I heard her talk about my Kickstarter project on her podcast. Thank you, Katie!
- Sue Shanahan, Author and Illustrator of Glory in the Morning

Last year I drove over 2 hours each way to hear Katie Davis speak about social media and I was not disappointed. Katie explains things with a “can do perspective” that is very encouraging in a somewhat daunting arena – taking on the latest in technology to market my books effectively. I highly recommend her!
- Debbie Blackington, Author of Gracie's Ears

I had a consulting session with Katie Davis today. She's a wonderful mentor, full of ideas that work. From manuscript edits to social media skills, Katie is an inspiring model for how to become a successful author. Her critiques are professional, practical and courteous. Help yourself. Book Katie and learn from an expert that's fun and knowledgable.
- Gayle Swift, Author of ABC, Adoption and Me
