From My Students |

"Confident, well-organized, substantive presentations—and patient to boot! She fielded every question and led to think about approaches to marketing we had never considered before."

"The course helped me to clarify my goals as a freelance writer. The class discussions and workbook activities provided useful strategies for mapping out a marketing plan. Now I have a better idea of how to capitalize on my strengths and make a plan that will work for me."

"This was extremely informative and helpful and made me realize I shouldn't be so apologetic about the need for self-promotion as both a teacher and an author."

"This was a very helpful introduction to an overwhelming topic—it does not seem as daunting now, to establish a platform and presence, as it did before I took the class."
Writer's Center Student |

"Useful in that it permitted me to evaluate where I should focus most of my time. The presentation made clear to me just how the social media could be useful in putting my name in lights."

"I've invested so much time writing my memoir "Blind Curves," but now I face the daunting task of marketing it. When I attended your book marketing class at the Writer's Center, at the end of the afternoon I left smiling because I had learned that it was possible to market my book without living on the road. Since there was still a lot I needed to learn, I immediately ordered your book, "Marketing for Writers." This workbook is so clearly written that I am already putting together a draft marketing plan as I read it. I have always had the drive and ambition to promote "Blind Curves," but I needed to know where to funnel this energy. After attending class and reading your book, I have a better sense of how to launch a marketing effort. There are so many approaches to marketing a book and so I've paid particular attention to the statement in your book about not trying to do everything, but rather think about the behaviors of your desired audience and choose a few methods that will best reach them. So as I get ready to finish my project, I head off to my next adventure of marketing it with your voice in my head and book in hand."

Amid a sea of such books, many from major New York publishers, I find that Angela's book stands out. She has the sense keep it short and on point. Marketing for Writers contains more useful info in its 139 pages than you'll get trying to wade through Manuals three times as long. And who has time for those, anyway? I bought Angela's book after taking three of her classes. By then I was clear she knows exactly what she's talking about and she stays current. It's concise, fun and easy to read without being cute or breezy, and it's easily navigable. In short, the book exhibits the virtues she advocates for all Web work. It's just like her classes--to the point, and invaluable. Out of the thicket of too much information, I'm grateful for this smart, immediately usable, essential tool.

"I met Angela at a marketing workshop she led at the Writer's Workshop in Bethesda. I was immediately struck by her enthusiasm and grasp of the subject matter. There was so much material I decided to hire her as a consultant to help build a presence on the web and promote a book I'm writing. She patiently taught me about building a platform for publishers, writing blogs, and search engine optimization for my website. Her explanations were always clear and her manner encouraging. I highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future. "
