Testimonials:

I purchased the 5 Mistakes to Avoid as a Self-Published Author Masterclass and it was very beneficial. Mary B. Banks provided useful information that ensured I avoided many common mistakes new self-published authors make. It helped me begin to get organized and intentional with the direction of my book, and Mary took time to check in with me to hear about my progress, answer questions, and give great advice after I finished reviewing the content. I recommend this masterclass to others who are new to self-publishing and all that comes with being a writer with dreams of making book sales and impacting the lives of others. Mary is a great person to follow on social media because she consistently gives value. Recently, I joined the private paid membership Facebook community, Activate Your Inner Author Society, where Mary goes live and engages and motivates everyone to be creative and produce great work! It is wonderful for networking, guidance, and inspiration. ~Winfred Summer, Author of The Toxic Job Playbook: A Survival Guide for the Workforce

"The La Muse Press "Publish It! Book Coaching Session" was excellent. I've been working on my poetry collection for more than five years now and finally decided to go the self-publishing route. However, I didn't want to simply upload my book to Amazon. I wanted to ensure that my book is professionally done, so I reached out to Mary Banks for consultation. Not only did she answer all of my self-publishing questions, she also offered insight on how to market my book once it is published. The book coaching session is highly recommended!" ~Dr. Sherna "Nae" Phillips (in the process of self-publishing her debut poetry collection)
