What students are saying...

Shannon Mulligan-Mayernik

I loved the course. As someone who is fairly new to bookstagram, I have been quietly sitting in the background taking it all in (while posting some pictures with some content). This course allowed me to understand the ins and outs of publishers and book reviewing.

Kelly Enright

I'm so glad that I took this course and definitely took away a whole host of new information. I am thankful for the many new resources I've been made aware of, and have gained confidence in building connections with publishers. Whitney is such a fun, knowledgeable, and relatable booklover who definitely knows what she is doing.

Whitney, you are a wonderful teacher! I have learned so much about the publishing industry and about what publishers are looking for from bookstagrammers. There is no where else that I know of that I could have learned any of this information. I have pages of notes and I will come back to this content frequently. You have made it clear that working with publishers is about creating a relationship that is trustworthy and I feel confident in my ability to go ahead and do that now!
