"What a wonderful benefit to being an Indie Excellence Winner, having a time to consult with John Kremer on book marketing. He has a wealth of valuable information! In one short hour he gave me many pages of ideas that I can immediately put to good use. John’s suggestions are based on years of research and experience, combined with a rare ability to think out-of-the-box. His recommendations were based on my specific book and my needs and as such, were extremely helpful. I am so pleased with my Indie Excellence prize – thank you!"
