“As Joylynn always says: Experts don’t think, feel, or hope that the information they share with you will work. They know it will work . . . if you work it. Well, so far on my literary journey, I’ve only been able to put a few of Joylynn’s tips to work, and to no surprise at all, they work!”
“Thanks to the Literary Chauffeur, Joylynn M. Ross, for the wealth of knowledge I received at the ‘Act Like an Author, Think Like a Business’ annual conference. It was one of the best investments I’ve made.”
“Joylynn is fierce, dedicated to her craft, and an excellent mentor.”
“In her teachings, Joylynn focuses not only on writing, nor on seeking out agents or publishers, but instead on the business of writing. I filled several notebooks with revelations about the business of writing that I had not found or figured out in nearly four decades of writing and publishing books. Joylynn’s insights, tips and—yes, secrets—are incredible.”
“Because of the strategies and techniques Joylynn provided me, I now have the tools and information necessary to run my writing career like a business and utilize my platform to help others soar.”
“Attending Joylynn’s ‘Act Like an Author, Think Like a Business’ Conference caused me to see writing in an entirely different light. I’ve implemented many of the suggestions Joylynn made, and I’ve been really pleased with the results.”
“I thought I knew the direction I was going as a writer and publisher. Well, after working with Joylynn, I realized not only was I lacking in my ability to monetize my books, but that if I couldn’t do it for myself as an author, and if I wasn’t able to understand the difference between publishing a book and being on a journey that will result in building a literary empire, I wouldn’t be able to, as a publisher, help my clients do it. But today, I have put everything I learned from Joylynn into practice, and all parties involved are on their way to literary success!”
“Your Book Is Your Business: Money-Making Sales Strategies by Joylynn M. Ross is by far one of the best publishing books I have read on the topic of marketing and promotion. In fact, even though I have been an author myself for more than thirty years, Joylynn’s book has truly inspired me to do so much more with my writing career and overall purpose. This is certainly a book every author should read…not months from now or years from now…but as soon as you possibly can.”
