"As a charity micro-press, gaining recognition and awareness is super important and Ashley's knowledge at recognising that has been a major help. She adapted to our mission immediately, understanding exactly what we're looking for, from content engagement and auditing, to liaising across platforms. Her experience equips her to handle some of our limitations, giving us strong suggestions on how to optimise. Ashley not only is great at what she does, but she's able to connect with our content, making it feel human. I couldn't recommend Ashley's services enough and I'm so glad to have connected with her. She's so valued on our team."
Lisa Zammit, Managing Editor-in-Chief of IHRAM Press

"I worked with Ashley for several years, and she is an outstanding social media expert. Like many writers, I need a high-quality social media presence, but I lack the expertise to do it myself. By working with her, I can concentrate on my writing, knowing that my brand is in good professional hands, and my readers and followers can get smooth access to my posts, promotions, blogs and podcasts. Ashley combines social media knowledge and expertise with outstanding customer service."
John Rhodes, Author of The Battle of Britain Book Series

"I worked with Ashley since 2022 when I published my first novel. She was my account exec and managed my online marketing and outreach. She coordinated the ad design, placement, podcast and blog interviews for the three novels I have published over the past three years. She was my main contact for all services. She was helpful, responsive, quick to recommend options and to respond to my needs and inquiries."
