“As an author and composer looking to self-publish a series of eBooks and launch a new online business, I spent months researching an approach to develop a digital/social media savvy business thinking I could do it all myself. As this self-education progressed, I quickly became overloaded with ideas, but not knowing how to effectively use them – what I really needed was a roadmap to get from point A to point Z for launching my books and growing my business. I had always considered hiring outside consulting, but my funds were limited and I needed to find the right person for my budget. Thankfully Susie Hays was on my radar.
I had been talking with Susie for nearly a year and was impressed with her knowledge, quick insight and positive attitude in getting me started. I kept saying to myself, “When I am ready, this is the person I want as my guide.”
I finally took the plunge and my good old self pep talk couldn’t have been more on point! Susie’s business launch program was exactly what I needed. Her program was fantastic. It walked me through each stage of marketing my eBooks, helped me identify areas that needed attention, broke down those stubborn areas of resistance, and demystified the terminology, so that I now have a good grasp of marketing my series. Her communication was full of valuable insights, resources and ideas. Best of all, she helped me become self-sufficient going forward.
Within a few months, I had a strategic roadmap to launch my business, my website is headed in the right direction, my offers and list building plans are falling into place, AND I understand the defined target markets for my business to gain traction.
I absolutely recommend Susie to those who need to publicize their organizations, promote their books, launch their tours and beyond.” - Joanna Brouk, Author & Composer www.JoannaBrouk.com
"Best investment I ever made was hiring Reese as my betareader. Her nondisclosure makes me feel safe to send her my rough drafts." - D.F.
"If you're looking for a plot doc, Reese is your gal. When I'm working on a book and my characters stop speaking to each other, I call on Reese's expertise. She reads my copy, then we schedule a phone coaching call. She always wants to know more about the story outline and plot. Damn it, it's always the plot! By the time we tweak things, the story is moving faster and my characters are talking faster than I can type. Reese is my Plot Doc for a reason--she's always got the Rx for my stories." - A StC
"If you want practical and impartial editing, don't hire Reese Johnson. She'll mark your manuscript up like a purple-ink-loving lunatic, but she'll love you through your rewrites. You'll hate her at least once through every book edit, but you'll love her forever because she helped you turn good writing into great writing that sells." - M.S.
"Reese is m secret weapon. My literary agent doesn't even know about her. Why? I have dyslexia so I need a critical eye with gentle instruction. Nine of my books have made the NYT top 10 best seller list. I also have 2 RITA nominations. None of it would be possible without Reese. She took the time to talk to me and took notes to help me later. She loved my characters and their stories. Every time I hang up from a coaching call with her, I can't wait to get back to my computer. I know she'll catch my errors before my agent or publisher get my final draft." - AMD
“Susie is an absolute pleasure to work with! She has incredible insight and instincts for marketing and communications, and is constantly thinking through new ways to communicate product advantages and branding for her clients. My direct experience working with Susie is that she is methodical, creative and skilled in her ability to communicate the vision and message of a company and/or product. She thinks five steps ahead and is always considering how any action, no matter how small, will affect the overall message and strategy, an essential skill for anyone involved in marketing a brand or product. She takes her client’s requests to heart and works methodically, diligently, and with the highest amount of integrity to deliver results on time. Most importantly she is kind, compassionate and honest. I would not hesitate to work with her or for her on any future projects.” - Gabrielle Klein
“Working with Susie on a number of high profile projects over the years has been an amazing experience.

It’s not everyday that you find someone in the marketing world that truly takes the time and effort to truly understand a company’s brand, social culture, sales team and products to such a granular detail. This alone is what sets her apart and makes her so effective in leading entrepreneurs and businesses in consistent growth time and time again. I highly recommend Susie if you are ready to get serious and take your business to the next level as turn-key professionals like her are very hard to come by.” - Justin Sutton

"Reese edited my honor's thesis in college. I had spent so long writing, re-writing, and trying to edit that I couldn't even see straight. She caught every missing comma, mis-spelling, and word usage issue. It was a tremendous blessing for me to focus on content knowing that she had my back when it came to grammar, organization, and verbiage. I have had Reese edit everything of importance that I have ever written and will continue to do so." -DSF
