From Cautious Edits to Gritty Perfection: A Thriller’s Turnaround
Their willingness to listen and adapt! After I pushed for a sharper, grittier tone to match my thriller’s darker themes, their revised edits transformed the manuscript. The pacing became taut, and the dialogue now crackles with tension—exactly the intensity I wanted. The initial feedback felt too tentative and missed the mark on embracing the story’s darker elements. A deeper understanding of genre-specific tone before the first round could prevent authors from needing to course-correct later.
Overall Feedback:
Though the first round fell short, their responsiveness and ability to elevate the edits saved the day. The final result proved their skill—just wish they’d nailed the tone sooner. A strong choice for writers who value collaboration!- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Cultural Themes Ignited After Strategic Pivot
Their responsiveness to feedback transformed the campaign. After I highlighted the lack of cultural focus, they redesigned the social media strategy to emphasize my book’s unique themes, sparking meaningful engagement and connecting me with readers who deeply resonated with the story. The initial strategy was too generic, overlooking the cultural depth of my book. Proactively discussing thematic priorities or conducting audience analysis upfront would ensure campaigns align with the book’s essence from day one.
Overall Feedback:
A little adjustment made a huge difference! While the broad start missed the mark, their ability to refine the approach and amplify cultural themes led to success. Recommended for authors who want partners willing to listen and evolve—clarity upfront unlocks their best work.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Modern Misstep Redeemed by Historical Collaboration
Their collaborative flexibility turned things around. After I flagged the overly modern design, they worked closely with me to incorporate period-specific textures and details, resulting in a stunning cover that authentically reflects the book’s historical soul. The initial draft lacked era-appropriate research, leaning into a contemporary aesthetic that clashed with the genre. Proactively asking for visual references or historical context upfront would prevent such mismatches.
Overall Feedback:
While the first attempt missed the mark, their willingness to listen and co-create saved the project. Highly recommend for authors who value collaboration—just provide clear references early to nail the vision faster!- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Embracing My Quirky Voice Paid Off!
After I pushed for changes, they revamped the email campaign to include jokes, playful cliffhangers, and a tone that perfectly mirrored my humorous writing style. The result? Subscribers loved it, and open rates soared by 40%! Their initial email templates felt too formulaic and formal, which didn’t align with the quirky, lighthearted vibe of my mystery novels. A deeper upfront understanding of my genre and style could have saved time.
Overall Feedback:
While their first attempt missed the mark, their willingness to adapt and creatively incorporate my voice turned the campaign into a huge success. A great reminder that collaboration and staying true to your brand matter!- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Broad Targeting Fixed After Feedback, Sales Soared
Their responsiveness and problem-solving saved the campaign. After I flagged the mismatched ad audience, Native Book Authors quickly refined the targeting parameters. The revised ads performed significantly better, driving a noticeable increase in sales and ensuring my budget was well-spent. The initial ad targeting was frustratingly generic, reaching an audience misaligned with my book’s genre. Proactive analysis of the book’s niche and audience during setup—instead of defaulting to broad parameters—would prevent wasted time and budget.
Overall Feedback:
While the start was rocky, their ability to pivot and deliver results earned my trust. Recommended if you’re proactive about giving feedback, but insist on granular audience alignment from day one.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Reliable Paperback Formatting with a Premium Price
The layout was clean and professional, and they delivered on time with a PDF proof for review. Their reliability and attention to detail make them a trustworthy choice for authors who value consistency. Their rates are higher compared to freelancers, which might not suit budget-conscious authors. Offering more competitive pricing or package deals could make their services more accessible.
Overall Feedback:
A solid choice if reliability and quality are your top priorities, though the higher cost may not appeal to everyone. Recommended for authors willing to pay a premium for dependable service.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

From Overwhelmed to Empowered with Authors Eclipse
The personalized support turned everything around. When my project manager noticed my confusion during onboarding, they proactively scheduled a 30-minute strategy call to simplify my options. Their focus on LinkedIn microblogs tailored to my nonfiction niche was genius—follower engagement jumped 65%. The free monthly progress planner they provided also gave me clarity and control over the entire process. The initial onboarding felt intimidating. Bombarding clients with jargon-heavy terms like Amazon Optimization and BookBub Features without clear explanations could alienate newcomers. A streamlined, jargon-free introduction or a glossary of services would help clients feel confident from the start.
Overall Feedback:
Authors Eclipse transformed a rocky start into a rewarding partnership. Their adaptability and niche-focused tactics (like LinkedIn microblogs) delivered measurable results. Highly recommend—just ask for simplified explanations upfront if you’re new to book marketing!- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

A Rocky Start but a Strong Finish with Native Book Authors
After a disappointing first month, the turnaround was remarkable. My new strategist took the time to truly understand the unique themes of my fantasy novel and created a targeted marketing campaign. This included a virtual book tour and collaborations with fantasy book bloggers, which significantly boosted my book’s visibility. My Amazon ranking soared from #300k to #25k in just two months, which was an incredible result. The initial experience was frustrating. My first strategist missed two scheduled calls, and the social media posts they created for my book were generic and lacked creativity. It felt like my book was being treated as just another project rather than a unique story. Better communication and a more personalized approach from the start would have made a big difference.
Overall Feedback:
While the beginning was rocky, Native Book Authors ultimately proved their value by listening to my concerns and delivering exceptional results. Their ability to adapt and turn things around earned my trust, and I would recommend them—especially if they can improve their initial onboarding process.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Marketing Success After a Bumpy Start with Native Book Authors
The dedicated account manager and tailored campaign. After I voiced concerns about the generic social media posts, they revamped the strategy with personalized content and a targeted Facebook ad campaign, which drove 200+ pre-orders in the final week. Their ability to pivot and deliver results saved the experience. Communication and initial campaign quality. The first few weeks required constant follow-ups for updates, and the early social media posts lacked originality. Proactive updates and more thoughtful initial content would reduce stress and build trust faster.
Overall Feedback:
Despite a rocky start, the team’s responsiveness and tailored approach led to impressive results. With smoother communication and stronger initial efforts, their "Comprehensive Book Marketing" package could be a standout choice for authors. A solid experience overall, but room for improvement in the early stages.- hired for: Books, Media & Publishing

Honoring Tradition and Reaching New Audiences with Native Book Authors
The respectful and inclusive approach to storytelling. Native Book Authors brought my family’s oral history to life while honoring our traditions, thanks to sensitivity readers from my tribe. The cover design beautifully incorporated traditional art styles, and their marketing plan highlighted partnerships with Native-owned bookstores. Seeing my book used in cultural education programs has been incredibly rewarding. Providing more detailed updates during the writing and editing process could help authors feel even more connected and informed throughout the project.
Overall Feedback:
Native Book Authors exceeded my expectations by creating a book that respects my heritage while appealing to a wider audience. Their thoughtful approach, from sensitivity readers to culturally authentic design and marketing, made the experience deeply meaningful.
