If you want to get your message in front of a massive Media audience, you’re in the right place.

Imagine this: a year from now you look back on all the time and effort you put into navigating the confusing media landscape on your own, or the small fortune you spent hiring a publicist. Chances are your book sales are low and so is your bank account. No to mention your enthusiasm for promoting your book.

Well, you can re-imagine that future right now, even if you think you can’t succeed in Media because…

  • You don’t have contacts “on the inside” at media outlets. 

  • You’re working on your own without a publicist. 

  • You’re not a celebrity or influencer with millions of followers. 

  • You don’t have a massive marketing budget.

Hi, I’m Mary O’Donohue!

I’m a media coach for women nonfiction authors and I’ve spent decades working behind the scenes on high profile television shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show, Today, Meet the Press, and NBC Nightly News, among many others.

I’m also a nonfiction author like you. I’ve been in your shoes with a book and message that I knew could make a difference. I know what it’s like to be nervous about live television interviews, to be unsure what to wear, and to want to be memorable to audiences so I’d get real results.

And then I realized that I had a media coach who could guide me through my journey as a nonfiction author. Me. I pulled from my decades spent working behind the scenes in TV and crafted a strategy for success. And it worked. 

In fact, just 12 hours after one of my national media interviews went live, my book catapulted to #1 in Parenting and broke into Amazon’s top 100 overall, becoming the #1 Mover and Shaker with the biggest gain in sales rank out of millions of nonfiction books that day.

That’s the power of national Media to sell books. So, I teach women nonfiction authors like you how to harness that incredible power to boost your book sales - and more!

Testimonials

"My time in Mary’s program was incredibly beneficial. Her lessons were practical, digestible, and the follow up we received during the week through our Zoom sessions helped me stay on track and apply what we were learning.

As a result, during the program I was featured on Bustle.com which had 50 million monthly visits. Shortly after completing the program, using what I learned from Mary, I was featured in two separate feature-length articles on Thrive Global, which had more than 10 million monthly visits.

Mary’s experience in the media industry, her seasoned wisdom, and her encouraging, supportive spirit made for an absolutely incredible experience.

I highly recommend Mary as a media mentor. She gets results!”

"Even as a writer, I’m challenged to articulate just how specific and edifying Mary’s coaching is. The secrets and strategies she shares; the personalized attention; the “I’m teaching you to fish” approach is incredibly eye-opening and empowering.

If you are lucky enough to be chosen by Mary as a client, do not squander this propitious moment in your life. It’s time to sit up and pay attention. Follow the program. Be patient. Mary knows what she’s doing. Take her hand, do exactly what she says, and let her do her thing - because she does it so well.

About 10 weeks in, you will be a sparkling, confident, competent media pitching machine; and you’ll know how to be a smart and strategic guest (Mary says, "It can’t just be a great conversation.) There’s sooooo much more to it than that, and Mary is THE one to teach you.”
