I take very few one-on-one clients in order to give my undivided attention when I coach. If you need help, don’t wait. I may not be available, and I don’t take everyone on, even if I do have spaces available as I’d want to make sure we are a good fit. 

What do I bring to my face-to-face (via video chat) coaching sessions? My experience from my early career in marketing, over 25 years marketing my own writing career, and everything I’ve learned to fill an almost 300 page marketing guide that launched #1 on Amazon and is still #1 Top Rated in Marketing for Small Businesses and caused renowned editor Emma Dryden to claim, “All writers should be using this tool!” As Founder & Principal of drydenbks llc and former Vice President, Publisher of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing Division, Emma knows a good tool for writers when she sees one. Think of me as your own personal marketing tool!

At the end of our time together you’ll receive a custom built guide based on everything we’ve gone over with links to resources and actionable steps for you to take.

Testimonials

Katie is smart, savvy and very generous. She helped me realize I could tackle a whole variety of new (to me) marketing strategies/tools without becoming intimidated by the technology. Because of Katie, I’ve now got a more logical and much broader plan for promoting my up-coming book, I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Dreidel. Her warmth and focus as well as her astonishing command of all social media make her a gift to any author. I’m so glad I found Katie! —Caryn Yacowitz

Katie’s positive attitude is infectious. She inspired me to be braver and smarter in my approach to marketing, and showed me specific ways I can make improvements. —Prudence Breitrose

Hi, Katie,

Thank you for your time (and overtime) during our consultation today.  I really appreciate all of the information that you shared, and can’t wait to explore and implement some of your ideas to improve my marketing and social media presence.  Yes, maybe I’ll even tweet.  The information in the packet and all of the info I’ve gotten from your site and newsletters have opened my eyes to many new aspects of self-publishing.  Your generosity in putting all of this together for new authors is much appreciated. Take care, Pat Mervine As a newly published picture book author of The Museum, it has been necessary to build my platform. Navigating the world of technology and utilizing it in a way that makes sense as an author has been a daunting task. In over my head, I reached out to Katie Davis for consultation and guidance. Katie was able to take all of my goals and outline a way to prioritize and attain them. As part of her services she created a “consultation packet” filled with information relating to each goal. Where to get stock photos, how to use social media, ways to get people to my website and how to keep them interested as well as information about school visits and author events. 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… next stop Video Idiot Boot Camp! Thank you Katie. Susan Verde, author of The Museum, illustrated by Peter Reynolds   Katie Davis is a kidlit expert, not to mention social media wizard. I hired her to go over my children’s picture book 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! Cheers, Sue Shanahan Last year I drove over 2 hours each way to hear Katie Davis speak about social media and I was not disappointed. So when I was matched with her for my NetWit Social Media and Promotion Consultation, I eagerly anticipated an informative and interesting meeting. As I expected, she was very helpful and in a short period of time, I learned a variety of new things I could implement. 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!
