Director
Gavin Westbrook serves as the Director, providing strategic leadership and innovative direction to drive the team's success and achieve organizational goals.
Marketing Manager
As a book marketing strategist, I partner with authors to ensure their stories reach the readers they were written for. I work alongside talented creatives and publishing professionals, blending strategic promotion, audience targeting, and compelling visual storytelling to elevate each book’s presence across Goodreads, Amazon, BookTok, and beyond. From enhancing discoverability through strategic Goodreads Listopia placements, optimizing Amazon pages for maximum conversions, to creating scroll-stopping cinematic book videos and viral social content, my focus is on building visibility, credibility, and genuine engagement for every title. Every author I work with has a story worth sharing, and I am passionate about connecting that story with the audience that will truly appreciate it. Whether it’s a heartwarming memoir, a gripping thriller, or an imaginative fantasy, I help books not just find readers—but create fans who become advocates.
