Krystal Shannan assessed my back catalogue and helped me determine which books to advertise. She was willing to work with my modest budget and she tirelessly adjusted and updated my ads until they were running nicely. One of the ads she created ran profitably for years. I will always be grateful for the upbeat and encouraging energy Krystal injected into my author career. Krystal's kindness and patience when I was brand new to advertising set me on a path to feeling comfortable investing more in my business, which ultimately led to me becoming a full-time author!

Krystal is one of those rare authors who also knows how to analyze data. This means she understands what makes books sell, while using numbers to make decisions. It also means she is invaluable to an author like me. One of the things I particularly love about working with Krystal is that she is always upleveling and learning best practices, new tactics etc. She’s also incredibly ethical, and is also always willing to let me know when something isn’t working–even if it means that I need to cut down my ad spend or stop an ad completely.
