Absolutely! We can schedule pre-event planning calls to explore your needs to ensure the content matches your client's needs and desired outcomes.
What kind of promotional support do you offer to help market the event?
When appropriate, I post on all my social media channels, share with my email list. I also will create a promotional video for you to share through all of your channels as well as for all attendees.
Do you offer extras (book signings, meet-and-greets)?
Of course I can and I do. I am a published author of four books, and I love a meet-and-greet!

I understand this. We can have a conversation to see how we can work together to find creative ways to make it a win-win.

Yes. Whatever I prepare for the opportunity is yours to have for attendees and registrants.
What is your policy on event recordings and media rights?
