"Attending the 'Build the Brand Before the Book' PBRS Business Intensive was key for my writing career. The workshop provided invaluable insights into career mapping and brand building that I hadn't considered before. I really appreciated Ebony's questions for career mapping that helped me visualize my long-term goals and create a concrete plan to achieve them. I learned practical strategies to establish my author platform and connect with my target audience even before my book hits the shelves. This proactive approach is something I never thought about previously! What sets this workshop apart is its blend of strategic planning and practical implementation. Ebony's expertise and personalized guidance made the content relatable and immediately applicable. I highly recommend this intensive to any aspiring author who wants to lay a solid foundation for their writing career. It's not just about writing a book; it's about building a sustainable author business. This workshop gives you the tools and knowledge to do just that. Thank you for this transformative experience, Ebony. YOU ARE A GEM <333 xxoxox" - Tasmiha Khan

"I went into this webinar with an open mind; however, I have to admit that, in the back of that open mind, I wasn't expecting to find many things I would actually be interested in doing. After all, I'm still querying, and I’ve yet to secure a book deal. Not only does the idea of "marketing" scare me—based on my preconceived notions of what it means to "build a brand"—but how and why should I brand something that doesn't even exist yet? Boy, was I wrong! In just a few hours, Ebony shifted my mindset completely. She taught me that it pays to have a true vision for your career even before it unfolds. She showed me that I’m a brand NOW just by being myself, and that doing small things to support that brand, even now, can make all the difference in how agents, editors, booksellers, and consumers perceive me and my books. She also presented me with a comprehensive menu of tasks to choose from—tasks that I can handle—to frame myself, my books, and my vision in a positive light. Ebony has a true talent for seeing the Big Picture and breaking it down for us creators into meaningful steps that help us craft our own futures."- Liz Lazar

"Ebony's Build the Brand Before the Book Workshop was a fountain of golden nuggets!! The information she shared, some I'd thought about, but didn't feel I could do without a book deal and some I'd never thought about, allowed me to reshape the vision for my career as an author." - Shuba Mohan
