Regardless of your genre, this podcast is definitely worth your time. I decided to listen from the beginning to the present (so I’ve been binge-listening for about two months!) and am so glad I did. They cover everything from social media marketing to catalos and...
Listener in Hartsville, South Carolina
I stumbled upon your podcast several weeks ago and am enjoying going through the backlog of content. There is so much information that I wish I had uncovered earlier. I’ve added A+ content to my Amazon book pages and am looking at my marketing in a different way. I...

Many thanks to Penny and the team for all the work you've done and the opportunities provided. I'm appreciative. You've kept your word and I'm looking forward to seeing the fruit of our labors.

I absolutely love this podcast! If you're new to Amazon KDP or exploring the world of writing and self-publishing, this podcast is an absolute goldmine. I started from the very first episode and couldn't stop binge-listening during my afternoon walks. The episode on...
Raemi Ray
Honestly, working with you all has been a fantastic experience. Marketing isn't my forte (as you probably guessed) and I work a more than full time job, plus I'm writing. I don't have the time to dedicate to becoming an expert so your guidance has been invaluable. The...

In the latest episode of Book Marketing Tips, Navigating the Unexpected episode, the often overlooked aspects of authorship are brought into sharp focus, transforming what could be a dry topic into a compelling discourse on the business side of book publishing. From...
Marlene M. Bell
When my first work of fiction went live, I searched for a publicist and found one on the East Coast. Without going into details, the firm did little to nothing for me during my first series book's release. That's when I began my search for another publicist, landing...
Laura Bedard
I just found this Podcast by Amy and Penny, as a new author I found it to be a goldmine of wisdom and inspiration as I am navigating the book publishing world. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
Jeremy Broyles, Flat Water
Every member of the AME team was kind, responsive, and patient with me throughout the entirety of the process. Everyone was always professional and personable. That has not always been my experience in this industry. Please share my thanks and gratitude with the...
Maura J. Casey, Saving Ellen: A Memoir
I completed my memoir in 2022 and spent nine months trying to get an agent; once that task was completed it took another 6 months to get a publisher. Throughout the process, I listed to dozens of episodes of the Book Marketing Tips and Author Success Podcast. Here is...

All my KDP numbers are up by about 30% already. Nice work, you guys.

Already you've outperformed a firm I paid 8k dollars to fire at big game. AME will be hired again.
Mary Kramer
Wow, wow, wow! This is so exciting! We FINALLY got a report from our publisher that showed the spike in sales from AME’s work. It was significant to our Amazon sales. Thank you. If we had the money, so sorry we don’t, we’d be working with you all every month!
Lee Schneider, Artistic Director of FutureX.Studio
Thanks so much for the professionalism and completeness of everything you do (and did). I really appreciate your work on this campaign! We’ve had the most success (in this short period) with influencers and guest posts.
Janet Perez Eckles, International speaker, author & founder of JC Empowerment Ministries
I’m hooked [on the podcast]. Amy and Penny ignite in you a desire to do it right, to avoid pitfalls and to approach marketing with wisdom. The examples they give from other authors are so very helpful. I love their spunk. And the fact each episode is brief, to the...

I found Penny and her team were very professional, direct and clear about what to expect, how they work and what their priorities were during my campaign. With so many options it can be overwhelming and a little unsettling when choosing a publicity team. I am very...
Pat Finegan
As investments go, Penny’s eclectic, evidence-based class on mastering Amazon is one of the best. It offers incredible bang for the buck for aspiring authors. What I appreciated most about Penny’s video series was that I could apply and test her lessons immediately at...
Marlene Bell
The Annalisse series is moving along in reviews, and I’m pleased how quickly they came in on the second book with your help. Much faster than the first. The more books written in a series, the better. I do understand how that works! Thanks for helping with the...
Carol Allen
It was a pleasure working with your team. You maintain a professional operation and provide many paths to success. I don’t believe it is reasonable to assume insta-best seller for any of us—even good strong sales immediately. It takes a lot of hard work and strategic...

A million thanks to all who worked on this campaign. Thank you for everything you've done. Your willingness to speak with me on the phone was essential in getting us off on the right foot. You've been very well organized and I appreciate it.

Thank you, Penny. Very helpful and exciting. This [Master Amazon Video Membership] series will be viewed with full attention/appreciation and its insights implemented in any and every way possible before, during, and after the campaign.
Carol Allen, author of One If
BTW— your team is amazing. And I am impressed with the breadth of your knowledge and marketing process. As a marketing executive, I thought I knew a little bit about the subject. But I am truly a neophyte. I’m so thrilled I signed up with you. Looking forward to...

Thanks Penny, I couldn’t have achieved this without your help!
Mary Ann Rousseau
Just want to thank you from the CFO for the work that you have done for us. We are finally beginning to get some traction after 30 days. We do realize that we started this from nothing - a debut press and a debut author - so it is a challenge. Let's just hope that the...

During my free three-day promotion, I saw a huge increase in free downloads as well as Kindle Unlimited page reads. I have another book in Kindle Unlimited which has been experiencing an increase in sales due to the this effort!
Peter van der Walt
Being new to book marketing was a lonely experience. I then consulted with several publicists before I contacted you. My first port of call informed me that - due to the subject matter of my book - they were not prepared promote it. I then contacted your firm, and...

I worked with Penny and her team at AME (my campaign manager was Paige) during this year's launch of my debut novel, All the Way to Italy. They were fantastic, professional and responsive. Paige answered all questions whenever I had any, and was really supportive...
Roy Rawers
As a new author looking to grow my professional influence outside of my local geography, AME provided more opportunities for the promotion of my book, Rediscovering Love, than I was able to handle. My biggest mistakes were not anticipating the time demands these...
Ray Thomas
Working with AME was worth every penny. (See what I did there?) Seriously, as indie authors we have to be careful with our budgets. Whichever level of service you choose to go with at AME it will be more than worth it. Not only for their excellent marketing campaign,...
Mandy Jackson-Beverly
When it comes to PR, Penny Sansevieri thinks long term. Good PR takes time, and Penny’s work has continued to build my author platform long after our contract expired. Penny and her awesome team at Author Marketing Experts are like the gift that keeps on giving, or in...

AME provided effective and efficient promotion services for my young adult novel. They got the book more Amazon reviews in a few weeks, than I, along with other services I'd hired, had been able to garner in over a year! There are no magic bullets unfortunately, and...

Lorraine Brodek
Penny and her amazing AME team have debunked the old theory: You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Yes, you can! The great thing about AME is that you can choose from a multiple of promo plans that you believe might be to your best benefit by following their...
Brigitte Nioche
I appreciate all you have done, it was a good experience. During my two consultations with Penny she was professional, knowledgeable, and understood the plight of authors today.
Maria Gordon
I recommend using AME services because they give their clients a very personalized service that is difficult to find from other marketing companies.
Stefania Shaffer
I am that person who employs what I learn from writing conferences. After attending Penny's session on marketing, I knew there was a recipe for success, but would the baker want to help frost a cake that had been cooling for three years? I felt like my book deserved...
Jackie Wein
Writing my book was easy. Selling it was hard. Untangling the web of Internet sites, bloggers, and social media was daunting. I was intimidated by the options . . . until Penny Sansevieri and Author Marketing Experts guided me in the right direction. With their...

We have truly gotten coverage way beyond our expectations!

For any aspiring author who thinks his or her book will just magically become a world-wide best seller once it's completed…prepare for the shock of your life. I asked my editor/publisher, who was the best publicist in the literary business. She didn't hesitate. Penny...

…during the promotion my book rose to the number 1 position in two fiction categories and soared into the top 50 overall. My reviews increased tenfold and the sales that were generated after the promotion ended increased significantly.
