Hi! I’m Colleen.
At Wild Ink Marketing, I coach authors and illustrators on how to take charge of their careers and sell their stories with confidence.
I’ve helped over 1,000 children’s book, middle grade, & young adult writers and illustrators build their audiences and sell books.
With over a decade of experience in marketing, I teach authors how to use their passion to market their books with the readers who seeking those stories. Together, we walk step-by-step through book marketing campaigns, branding, websites, author or illustrator platforms, media training, and book launches.
As a writer myself, I understand the challenges of balancing the art of writing with the business of selling books. I write MG, YA, and magazine articles. I am co-regional advisor for the San Francisco North & East Bay chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and a committee member of the Bay Area Women in Publishing (BAWiP).
When I’m not neck-deep in books, I’m a roadtripper, cliff jumper, skydiver, & former roller derby girl… I firmly believe in plunging headfirst into your fears, and I will try just about anything once. Want to go on an adventure?
