From Dr. Michael Colvard, Colvard Learning:
"Marlan created a highly effective PR campaign.
Very impressed with her dedication to our EdTech startup's outreach needs."
From Barbara Tira, Dragonfly Constellations Workshops:
"When we decided to take our work to a more professional and visible level, Marlan was there with us all the way. She assisted us in creating our bios, designing our logo, and giving our vision form from mind to print to press. She also masterfully orchestrated my first Family Constellation Workshops outside the Los Angeles area.
Marlan was instrumental in helping me to create an appropriate flyer and handled all the marketing in the community, which led to very successful workshops and other contacts. She found fabulous workshop spaces, coordinated all the details, and arranged for my most comfortable stay in San Francisco...She introduced and accompanied me to the sites in a city unfamiliar to me, and introduced me to wonderful restaurants. Marlan Warren is the Go-To Girl in the Shark Tank."
From Kari Hock, Managing Editor, Gemelli Press & Green Darner Press:
"Having Marlan on board has been an essential part of the process. She is so knowledgeable and an expert at what she does. She is a joy to work with."

From Jennifer Jordan, Author of Fathers' Wisdom
"I hired Marlan three weeks ago to help publicize my Fathers' Wisdom book. She did an outstanding job with all of her work and services. She wrote a press release to publicize a reading that I was giving at a store in Long Beach, and the event had standing room only! She also created a one-page media sheet and media kit for my book, which are filled with powerful language to convey the highlights and inspiration of the book.
Marlan was also a great help and support with some publication issues for my book. She was in frequent communication with me, so I knew the progress of her work.
In addition to being an excellent publicist, she was also highly encouraging to me with issues I faced as a new author. I also appreciated her service ethic and genuine care about me and the book. Her expertise, work and guidance were stellar. I highly recommend Marlan's book publicity services. She definitely merits her 5 stars!!"

Here's one of our clients, British author Celia Conrad, with her email response to a query from a potential client for a reference.Thank you, Celia! The pleasure is all ours!
"I have no hesitation in recommending Marlan for the following reasons: 1. I find her to be very thorough and professional.
2. Her work is precise. She has written press releases for me and reviews which have drawn high praise.
3. She is resourceful and creative - she has so many ideas and is constantly looking outside the box. She also knows where to place things to get the maximum exposure.
4. As authors we need to build an author platform and this doesn't happen overnight, but if you work with Marlan she is great at helping to put all the foundations in place that we can work on as authors.
5. Marlan will give you her honest opinion and make suggestions; I find her direction and guidance invaluable.
6. I started working with Marlan back in March and we worked on the first two books of my crime trilogy until August. I had very few sales back then and virtually no internet presence.
Now I have a steady trickle of sales each day - and they are slowly building, but I have also built on those foundations and worked really hard to list my books on as many sites as I can, update my blogs and to work on my social media presence.
They say that book publishing is a marathon and not a sprint and that is so true. You do need to work at it.
Personally, I find Marlan very easy to work with and I am actually working with her again now on marketing my third crime novel.
I hope that helps you Brian. If you have any other questions please ask me.
Kind regards,
Celia"
From Luke Benoit, Author of All Storms Pass: The Anti-Meditations:
"Marlan is sharp and creative. Probably one of the brightest sharpest people I've ever worked with. She knows what to do. She creates a plan, she executes it and she takes care of business. It is obvious that she has a LOT of experience working with promoting, announcing and facilitating events.
She gets the word and announcements out to all the relevant print media in plenty of time and her excellent writing skills continue to blow me away. She especially did effective, impressive and comprehensive work in organizing my book tour, creating the opportunity for and facilitating my radio interviews, and in designing and maintaining my book's website and Facebook pages as well as scouting and procuring new venues for readings/signings, interviews and workshops.
Marlan is also great with social media including Facebook, Twitter, writing and placing effective blogs and articles and designing web pages. I am particularly happy with the Facebook page that she did for me and the website she designed.
She also knows how to make deft use of Meetup as a tool which continues to pay off in setting up events and workshops for me. I feel like she really listens to what I want and executes the work to make my priorities happen and in the ways I need them done."
