The Process

A 6-week creative partnership featuring custom branding, captivating book covers, tailored marketing strategies, and expert support.

The Stardust Author Marketing Suite is your comprehensive guide to building a standout author brand.

 

Over 6 transformative weeks, we’ll take you through every stage of creating a professional, market-ready book with a 4-phase approach:

Discovery & Branding:

Unearth your unique story and craft a captivating brand identity. I'll help you identify your brand’s core message—what drives your storytelling and what your readers will love. We’ll then create your custom branding, from logo design to brand guidelines, ensuring your brand identity resonates with your audience from the very first glance.

Book Cover & Formatting:

Design a stunning cover and seamlessly format your book for publication. Together, we’ll review different design concepts, incorporate your feedback, and craft a final version that embodies the essence of your book. This phase ensures your book’s exterior reflects the depth and passion of your story.

Marketing & Content Strategy:

Build a custom plan to attract your ideal readers and keep them engaged. We’ll work together to develop a marketing calendar that keeps your audience engaged, along with a launch strategy that builds anticipation. This phase is all about making your audience excited and ready to buy your book when it launches.

Launch Roadmap:

Prepare for launch with a step-by-step strategy to maximize visibility and sales. I’ll help you track progress, stay on schedule, and execute your launch with confidence. By the end of this phase, you'll have a well-coordinated launch plan in place, ensuring your book reaches the right audience and gets the attention it deserves.

Fantasy Authors, I’ve Been There Too.

When I started out as an illustrator and designer, I knew I had the creativity to make an impact, but the marketing side of things? It felt overwhelming.

I tried searching for advice—tips to build a brand, market effectively, and connect with the right audience. But what I found were scattered ideas: "Just be consistent!" or "Post more on social media!" None of it showed me how to actually create a plan that works.

I felt stuck.

 

So, I turned to what I knew best—visual storytelling. I created strategies rooted in creativity and backed by research, designed to stand out in the competitive world of publishing. And guess what? It worked.

Now, I see fantasy and romantasy authors making the same mistakes I did:

  • Spending hours designing their own branding and covers without clear direction

  • Posting on social media without a strategy

  • Wondering why their incredible stories aren’t reaching the right readers

It’s not your fault! No one handed you a roadmap.

But here’s the thing—authors have a special edge. You know how to tell a story, and that’s exactly what your brand and marketing strategy need to do.

You don’t need to keep struggling. You just need the right plan and tools to make it happen.

That’s why I’ve created a FREE training tailored just for fantasy authors.

In this 40-minute session, I’ll walk you through:


✔ How to build a cohesive brand that reflects your unique story
✔ The secrets to creating a book cover that captivates readers
✔ Actionable marketing strategies to grow your audience and drive sales

If you’re ready to transform your story into a market-ready masterpiece and connect with readers, this training is for you.
