Consulting & Strategy

If you’re working on building an audience or running an event and want a second set of eyes, I offer 1-hour strategy sessions.

Event De-Risk Session

Make sure your event actually works before it happens. You can have a great idea, a great speaker, and a great space, and still end up with low attendance or a flat experience. This session is designed to catch what’s not working before your event goes live.

In this 60-minute session, we’ll:

  • review your event concept and positioning

  • look at your promotion and messaging

  • identify where you may be losing attendance

  • walk through the attendee experience (from sign-up, to arrival, to in-room flow)

You’ll leave with:

  • clear, specific fixes

  • a stronger plan for promotion and turnout

  • confidence in how your event will run

Best for:

  • literary organizations, bookstores, and event producers

  • anyone with an upcoming event (or recent one that didn’t land)

  • $150 for 60 minutes

Audience Strategy Session

Build an audience that actually shows up for your work. Posting more doesn’t build an audience. Clarity does. If you’re struggling to grow your audience, or feel like you’re talking into the void, this session helps you figure out what’s missing.

In this 60-minute session, we’ll:

  • clarify who your audience actually is

  • refine how you’re talking about your work

  • identify what content is (and isn’t) working

  • map a simple, consistent approach to building momentum

You’ll leave with:

  • a clearer sense of your audience

  • messaging that connects

  • a practical plan for what to say and how to say it

Best for:

  • literary organizations building programming audiences

  • authors, educators, and event organizers growing visibility

  • $150 for 60 minutes

Literary Experience Strategy Session

Turn your event or program into something people actually remember. Many literary events are well-intentioned—but the experience itself falls flat. This session focuses on what happens in the room: the conversation, the flow, and the engagement.

In this 60-minute session, we’ll:

  • look at how your event or program is structured

  • identify where engagement drops off

  • refine how you’re leading or facilitating

  • improve the overall audience experience

You’ll leave with:

  • a clearer structure for your event or discussion

  • tools to guide stronger engagement

  • a more intentional, compelling experience

Best for:

  • moderators, facilitators, and discussion leaders

  • literary orgs looking to improve program quality

  • anyone leading book clubs, talks, or in-conversation events

Rate:

  • $150 for 60 minutes
