what clients say
testimonials
"Ok--I honestly don't know where to begin with this, but Morissa and her team went above and beyond in every aspect of helping me with my debut novel. They were always proactive about getting me the best interviews, podcasts, and features in articles. In addition, they helped me with my website and SEO so that when people searched for me, they FOUND me !! 🙂 They also assisted with ads, visuals for my social medias, and responded to my anxieties that I sent in the form of questions at ungodly hours of the night lol. Please believe me when I say this: if you're searching for anyone to help with promotion or SEO or honestly anything to advertise your product, Morissa and her team are IT. It doesn't get better than that.”

"Thank you for your time, tenacity, and effort! You and the team took my little book and gave it a fighting chance! I’m indebted to you for exhibiting such patience and kindness. You and Rissys team took an overwhelming undertaking and made it feasible!
Thank you for always being attentive and mindful. It saddens me to have to stop our regular correspondence but, I take solace in the fact that our working paths will likely cross again. (I’ve got more books in me)!"
