Maria brought me so many wonderful gifts, and one was some amazing self-esteem. All the podcasts, blogs, interviews, etc, are also incredible. But she has a way of working with people that makes things seem exciting and invincible. When I look back on all the things we did to help support my book to its future, I’m in awe of all the places she took me. I could not have done it alone, and I’m very happy I hired her.
