Accelerate your path to publicity

Become a sought-after media guest

Women nonfiction authors - it's time you boosted your visibility and credibility with prestigious media appearances that grow your audience and increase book sales.

Make it happen with behind-the-scenes book marketing strategies from an Oprah Show veteran!
I AM READY

Do you feel confused about how to market your book, especially when it comes to publicity?

You wrote your book to make a difference in the lives of your readers, but here's the conundrum: How can you illuminate their path when your own story remains hidden from their view?

The truth is, whether your book is hybrid, independently, or even traditionally published, you’re the one shouldering the responsibility of marketing.

Maybe you’re struggling to get publicity, or you’ve done a few podcasts, but when it comes to book sales, it’s just crickets…

You might be wondering...

Is there is any point to publicity?

Absolutely. But only when it’s strategic publicity...

Without intention and strategy, your media interviews will simply be “random acts of Media” - pleasant conversations that bring no benefit whatsoever.

But it doesn’t have to be that way...

LET'S START

Hi, I'm Mary

Media Coach for Women Nonfiction Authors

With 12 seasons on The Oprah Winfrey Show, as a Post Producer and Associate Director, plus years on NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and Meet the Press, I am the definition of a Media Insider.

I am also a #1 bestselling author and parenting expert who has been featured in television, radio, print, and online interviews. A single media interview catapulted my book When You Say "Thank You, Mean It to bestseller status on Amazon in 12 hours, not only becoming #1 in Parenting (a massive category) but also breaking into the top 100 overall out of millions of books.

That’s right–one strategic media interview can make your book a bestseller.

As a media insider and bestselling author, I am uniquely qualified to teach you how to become the “go-to” expert in Media because that’s where you belong.

 

Are limiting beliefs holding you back from getting the publicity you deserve?

Limiting Belief

I need to spend tens of thousands of dollars on a publicist to have a chance at national publicity.

Reality

Not true! I’ll teach you the insider secrets to getting your own publicity, so you can save a fortune!

Limiting Belief

I can't get media bookings unless I'm already a bestselling author; they won't see me as an expert worth featuring otherwise.

Reality

Not remotely true! You’re an expert and the Media truly needs you, so I’ll show you how to get their attention.

Limiting Belief

I need to know someone "on the inside" in the media to land high-profile publicity.

Reality

Don’t get me started! A media interview is not a favor. I’ll reveal what actually gets authors booked in Media.

Limiting Belief

I cringe at the idea of "selling" my book in a media interview, so it's holding me back from effective publicity.

Reality

You’re not alone – I hear that all the time. That’s why I teach you a highly effective marketing strategy instead of a hard-hitting sales approach!

Don't let these misconceptions cost you time, money, or valuable publicity.

Do you see yourself in Media?

With my experience working on over 10,000 high-profile television interviews, I know that the Media often seeks out nonfiction authors like you who specialize in diverse subjects, such as:

  • compassion, careers, or creativity
  • fashion, fitness, or feminism
  • nutrition, nature, or neuroscience
  • marketing, meditation, or motivation
  • gardening, goalsetting, or grief
  • parenting, personal growth, or psychology
  • inclusion, innovation, or investing
  • happiness, health, or home ownership
  • education, environment, or entrepreneurship 

If you write about any of these topics, you're already a step closer to being booked in Media. The course will get you media-ready...
