Melissa wrote the book on social media marketing (literally; http://budurl.com/Networldingbook). And so she's the one I contracted with to help me navigate the most current Web 2.0 ways to publish a book on demand, pull together a team of creatives and techies to create a social media platform for marketing the book (personal blog, LinkedIn, Twitter), and shape the outreach. Melissa is exceptionally creative and networked and is all about staying as current as possible in the rapidly mutating social networking world for the benefit of her clients. Melissa is also quite personable and I enjoyed working with her!

- Andres Tapia, Chief Diversity Officer, Hewitt

Melissa is a true professional and expert in the field of publishing! She delivers on what she says she will do in a timely manner and is always available to answer questions often providing insight and direction to acheive the best results. Melissa was true to her word promoting my second book to her various constituencies and networks. She was a joy to work with on this project! I look forward to publishing many more books through her company.

- Lisa Dietlin, President, Lisa Dietlin PR

The worst thing that can be said about Melissa is that she cannot be cloned as a service provider since she's a champion at teaching AND she continues to be accessible and giving way past normal expectations in follow-up activities. As a trainer myself, it's easy to both see and be captured by Melissa's passion and talent for helping people release their "inner writer". She has that knack for motivating people to to move ahead with what they learn and count on her to be their biggest cheerleader!

Testimonials


"I attended the writer's workshop last spring and didn't know what to expect but I was so motivated after I left the seminar to move forward with my dream of writing a book. The writer's workshop helped me to get off the fence and start to put my dreams into a real action plan. The insight that Melissa Giovagnoli provides the participants is priceless having authored over 10 books.

"The exercises that we did in the seminar gave you a realistic view of where you need to go next with your book and also all the resources that are available to you. The best part of the seminar was the interaction with other prospective authors and the honest and direct feedback you receive from all the participants.

I would highly recommend the workshop who is thinking about writing a book."
