Testimonial

“Cindy Folk gets the job done! It was a pleasure working with her.

My first manuscript was complete with great reviews from my readers, my writing community and my editor! I needed to publish my story!

The self-publishing world was a far more complex place than I thought. My lack of knowledge, quickly took me in the direction of self-publishing companies which charged an exorbitant upfront cost — I was at their mercy. The day before I was scheduled to sign a publishing contract, I found Cindy’s workshop, Make a Splash Self-Publishing: Test the Waters Before Diving In. The self-publishing company went on hold, and I never looked back.

Make a Splash is an accessible, well-organized workshop. The guides and resource links are easy to follow, and the self-publishing plan is truly achievable. Cindy’s social media strategy and marketing provides a step-by-step guide. Clear instructions include how to create an author’s online presence by weaving together a professional website, author Facebook page, Instagram and Twitter.

During the weekly workshop sessions, Cindy is always professional, well prepared and provides valuable question-and-answer time. She offers choices for do-it-yourself publishing, or finding the right professionals to work with you all with the consideration of an individual’s budget. This workshop delivered on every aspect.

After completing Cindy’s workshops, I went from feeling apprehensive to confident in my decisions to create, launch and sell my story. My budget included funds for support so I promptly hired Cindy as my Self-Publishing Consultant. The daunting task of self-publishing my book became fun and exciting! With the knowledge I had previously learned in Make a Splash, and Cindy’s assistance, I felt empowered to make the many decisions needed in self- publishing my story.

I’m presently promoting my book on social media, and I should be holding my author’s copy in my hands within seven weeks! My book launch is on schedule for spring 2023, followed by book readings and speaking engagements.

I highly recommend Cindy’s course Make a Splash Self-Publishing: Test the Waters Before Diving In — and if your budget supports a Self-Publishing Consultant, include Cindy Folk too.

Cindy thank you! My confidence in the publishing and marketing world has soared because of you and your workshop.”
