“I have had the privilege of working with Jared for over three years now and could not recommend him more fully. Whether you are looking to market an existing book, manifest a complete book vision project from scratch to best-selling status, or simply need a trusted strategic advisor bringing with them an unparalleled/in-depth understanding of the publishing industry and beyond… you will not go wrong having him join your team. If you are lucky enough to have the chance to work with Jared, my strong advice is that you seize the opportunity immediately. You will not regret it!”

“Jared…was such a help in rethinking my approach to marketing for our small press. His knowledge of the industry, creativity in thinking about the scope of marketing for different types of publications, and flexibility…continues to resonate.” All best,
Martha Hoffman

“I was fortunate to have been able to participate in Jared’s Scalable Book Marketing for Publishers course. Before it started, we all filled out a form about what we were hoping to get out of the class. My response was just that one nugget—that one idea that I hadn’t thought of—that would really make a difference for our publishing house and our clients. Eureka! There were several gems in the class that I’ve already implemented into the marketing I do for our clients. I’m game for more! Thanks, Jared, for the details, accessibility, generosity of your time, and sharing your knowledge with me.”
