Marketing your books shouldn't feel overwhelming.
If you've ever wondered what to post, struggled to grow your audience, or felt like you're doing all the things without seeing results, you're not alone. At Booked On Social, I help authors replace marketing overwhelm with a simple, proven system that helps them attract new readers, build genuine connections, and create an author platform that supports a long-term writing career.
Whether you're publishing your very first book or your twentieth, my goal is simple: to help you market with confidence so you can spend more time doing what you love....writing.

I'm the founder of Booked On Social and an Author Marketing Strategist with more than a decade of experience helping authors grow their platforms, connect with readers, and market their books with confidence.
After spending years working in publishing and partnering with authors at every stage of their careers—from debut novelists to bestselling authors—I noticed something surprising. The authors who consistently built loyal readerships weren't necessarily the ones posting the most or chasing every marketing trend.
They had a system.
That's why I created the Reader Connection Framework™—a simple approach to author marketing built around three essential pillars that work together to grow your audience and strengthen your relationship with readers.
📱 Attract Readers
Use social media intentionally to introduce your books, share your story, and build meaningful visibility.
📌 Grow Your Reach
Use Pinterest to bring new readers to your content long after you've hit "publish."
📧 Build Lasting Connections
Use email marketing to turn curious readers into loyal fans who eagerly anticipate your next release.
Together, these three pillars create a sustainable marketing system that continues working for your author career long after launch week.
No matter where you are in your author journey, there's a path designed for you.

Let Me Do It For You
Need more hands-on support? I offer full-service social media management that helps you consistently connect with readers while freeing you up to focus on writing.
Marketing advice is everywhere. What most authors really need is clarity.
My goal isn't to teach you every marketing tactic available. It's to help you focus on the strategies that matter most, build authentic relationships with readers, and create a marketing system you can actually sustain.
Whether you prefer to learn on your own, work alongside me, or hand off your marketing completely, I'm here to help you build an author platform that grows with every book you write.
Because great books deserve great readers, and meaningful reader relationships are built one connection at a time.
