CHECKLIST
-Jim Schneider, author of Fencebat
Melanie is an incredibly knowledgeable and insightful guide through the overwhelming and confusing realm of book and brand promotion and marketing.
I am a longtime professional writer and first-time author in the process of launching my first book. Most people probably think that writing the book is the biggest challenge, but I quickly learned that what you do with the book after it's written is where the real adventure is.
Melanie was able to help me identify the important content pillars in my work, coach me on how to leverage those pieces in my promotion and opened my mind up to a whole new world of possibilities establishing a brand and a voice. She is a delight to work with and I left our session inspired and energized with a much greater understanding that my book is just a part of what I’m promoting, and just a piece in a much bigger picture. If you’re an author looking for help establishing and promoting your message, I can’t recommend Melanie and VIP Book Marketing enough.

Melanie expertly transformed my mindset and my digital marketing platform from tentative and sloppy to strategic and elegant. She helped me fine-tune and streamline my message, target the audience I wanted to reach and expertly taught me the “rules of play” in preparation for my book launch. An absolute pleasure to work with, Melanie demonstrated an innate skill for communicating clearly, precisely and with purpose. She is highly professional, organized, responsive, and gifted in the art of guiding her clients with grace and vision. I highly recommend Melanie is an invaluable partner if you hope to upgrade and take your business to the level.
I highly recommend Melanie

Melanie is an intuitive marketer who specializes in Digital Marketing platforms for authors. In addition to helping expertly position me as an authoritative self-publishing author on the web, her years in broadcast media, journalism and experience in traditional marketing methods are what truly sets her apart in an industry often bogged down by amateur marketers who merely push the technical aspects of web marketing without the strategy and execution. . .Her input in every single step of the way (from messaging to blind surveys to target audience interviews.... and even script writing) is why I would unequivocally choose Melanie as a marketing partner for success from start to finish. . .The sky is the limit for you when you invest in yourself by hiring Melanie to build your business strategically from the ground up.
I would unequivocally choose Melanie

-Michael Ross, Author & Financial Advisor
I began working with Melanie in the spring of 2022, before my book came out. Her counsel was one of the key reasons it became an Amazon Best Seller. . . in November of 2022 I committed to an ongoing relationship where we consult any time I have questions about what I am doing. I now refer to her as my consigliere, my Devil’s Advocate, and an inspiration. While am actively involved every day with offshoots of my book—speaking engagements, blogs, podcasts and the like, there is nothing quite as cathartic as a conversation with Melanie. She tells me when I have an awful idea—kindly—and she gets excited when there are breakthroughs. She is truly a partner in my success.

Working with Melanie has been an absolute game-changer for my business. Prior to working with her, I was completely confused about what kind of content I needed to create for my blog post. Now after being coached by Melanie she has taught me the exact tools that I need to create a blog post that is extremely engaging and I've had so much more website traffic and my community of women love my blogs. Also, my email subscribers have increased a tremendous amount in the period of time of working with Melanie. She is the exact expert that you need in digital marketing. If you want to grow your business, I highly recommend working with Melanie.
She is the exact expert you need!

I have worked with Melanie for the past several months and it has been a phenomenal experience! She is very down-to-earth and easy to work with, and I enjoy our meetings immensely. Melanie knows her stuff. And, she not only works with me, but also welcomed three other members of my team to our sessions to ensure that everyone is in sync and that everything is running as smoothly as possible. Melanie is always readily available to answer questions. She has saved me so much time and energy, freeing me up so that I can focus on other aspects of my business and not have to tend to everything myself. Melanie goes above and beyond in her customer service. She is a true professional and I highly recommend her services.
Phenomenal experience!

LAURIE T.
After I completed writing draft three of my book (and although a marketer by profession), I had no idea what was required to improve my visibility among potential readers and to grab the attention of agents and publishers. In a period of six months, Melanie taught me everything I needed to know to elevate both my personal brand and my book. Melanie is like a human encyclopedia.
SASHA S.
Melanie is truly in her zone of genius and a gem! I highly recommend Melanie to anyone who has authored or is authoring a book and knows there is more to the platform than just the message. My words to Melanie: I love your demeanor and personality. It’s very uplifting and encouraging.
Crystal P.
Melanie is incredible and she walks you through [the work]. She holds her hand every step of the way and everything that she is doing is layering upon the next thing, and so it's really great to build that strong foundation so that you have the knowledge and the tools and the resources to take your business to the next level.
