Very professional, I used a another publisher first, they had my second book so I had someone to compare it with and they really outshined out performed the previous publisher. I will be doing business with them again.

The Readers Magnet personnel were kind, considerate, and efficient. The service was prompt and complete. I would definitely do business with them again.
June 16, 2022#readersmagnet created a virtual booth platform from which invited authors could have on-line booths to introduce their books. These authors may be experienced in writing, research, and editing; but computer-savvy?,... read more not so much. To prepare participants for #thefestivalofstorytellers, workshops were held online to educate those of us who were to be active in this new venture. The endeavor was dubbed Festival of Storytellers, and I think it is a great, ground-breaking idea. I congratulate ReadersMagnet for finding a successful path for book/author presentations during these unprecedented conditions. After only a few failed attempts (on my part I hasten to add), I could present with ease! My author relations officer was patient and knowledgeable. I went live from my Let’s Talk About Fairytales booth and had a blast. I had missed interacting with other readers and writers, and here I got the opportunity to respond to those “chatting” with me during my live time. I must admit to nervousness at first; but as I talked about a subject that I liked, the thoughts and words bubbled out. I can’t wait to do it again.
June 16, 2022I have received quick responses to my questions and requests. Professional always! My representative from Reader’s Magnet is a great match and very knowledgeable.

When I first got a phone call from Michael I was a little bit hesitant about Readers Magnet but contagious laughter I fell in love with him and I knew... read more that I had to work with him and this company. Each and every person that I worked with during the virtual book fair which was the second year for the Festival of Storytellers, I was so scared but they calmed me down and made me feel so special. They all considered me as family and have such big hearts. I love each and every one of them. They have such great work ethics and direction towards guiding me in the right way so that I could shine and be the star in my own booth. It was such an honor to talk to each and every one of them. I appreciate all of them so much. They are all like a family to me now. I do not know what I would do without them. They made me and my book Remembering My Real Life stand out. They are all so special to me in my heart. I am so glad that I picked up my phone that day, it was the best thing that I ever did 🙂
June 16, 2022When I was first solicited for business by the marketing firm "Reader's Magnet", I was unfamiliar both with them and with book marketing in general so naturally, I was skeptical.... read more Since I knew I needed some kind of marketing to make my book available to a wider audience, I decided to give them a try. Their Festival of Storytellers is a rather new online book fair which promised to give me a live audience for up to an hour a day (or more, if I could endure it) for a period of two weeks, to present my book and field any questions through their online chat box. I decided to do these live presentations for an hour every other day, and, after I got the hang of how to speak to an unseen audience, I really enjoyed the experience to the point where I wish I could have spent even more time doing it. No marketing is inexpensive, but given the technical support of a live presentation for up to 50 different authors, including three training sessions on how to be effective with a live audience, I felt that the money I spent was well worth it.
June 16, 2022I am personally blown away by the magnitude of effort that Readers Magnet staff have put into there services. I haven't seen anything like it anywhere else. I... read more know that sounds a bit overblown, but I cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate their commitment and service. I can only assume it starts at the top and permeates through all Readers Magnet personnel. A recent highlight was the effort to produce "The Festival of Storytellers, Season 2." In this second session, they clearly doubled their first attempt and made it even more outstanding. And the little things they have done before and after the event show just how committed they are to their clients - the new authors just trying to get heard.
June 16, 2022I greatly enjoyed working with Readers Magnet and their team helped things go smoothly for me every step of The Festival of Story Tellers! Timely responses when I needed to... read more reach them! Very supportive of my vision with my First Book and allowing me to speak freely as Holy Spirit lead me which is so important to me! Highly recommended for authors just starting out!

June 16, 2022Readers Magnet reached out to me to write about my new book, Ice Zombies, and a bit about myself. I did and it was promptly posted.
June 16, 2022What a grand experience I've just had as an author-participant at The Festival of Storytellers presented by Reader's Magnet. Red Sanchez, my liaison for the event, kept me up... read more to date, handled every one of my crises (even the imaginary ones) with great patience and understanding. This being a first time virtual event, the usual unexpected, and not always pleasant, surprises often arose as all the technical elements were being put together. Even when I freaked out, Red was able to reassure me, and sure enough, the event went pretty smoothly. It was fun and afforded me the opportunity to connect with reader and other authors just as I had hoped. I would recommend the services of Reader's Magnet and their liaisons, like Red Sanchez, to other authors. #thefestivalofstorytellers #ReadersMagnet

This is an outstanding company with highly skilled people to work with!!! #Thefestivalofstorytellers #Readersmagnet
September 15, 2021The Festival of Storytellers was a great opportunity to get out of my comfort zone and meet and greet new fair goers and fellow authors as well as showcase my... read more talents and books! I was helped by the staff and consultants through any technical issues.

September 15, 2021Thank you Elizabeth Schultz & ReadersMagnet for making the effort to help authors that are unknown and without representation. Allowing us to participate in the “Author’s Lounge” is a... read more brilliant promotional tool especially when it is free. Attention all authors including those that fall into my category of being unknown and having no agent rest assured that there is someone and an organization fighting to get you and your work recognized. So if you are asked by Ms. Schultz and/or ReadersMagnet to participate in the “Authors Lounge” don’t hesitate, trust me it’s not only a legitimate opportunity but a chance to become part of their community.

Great experience! Many thanks!
September 15, 2021Elizabeth approached me with an opportunity to feature my debut thriller, Torn, in the Authors' Lounge section, which I was delighted to do.

It's a great resource and platform for both published and aspiring writers.

I think the imaginable the wondrous voice inside of me said, I never would have thought I would’ve had the opportunity to become partners of the adventure with the Readers... read more Magnet publishing company. The adventure begins with their putting together workshops so that I and others would become acquainted with being involved with zoom so that I could learn, grow, and being stretched (“ouch“). with this new concept of technology. Live on computer was a bit troubling for me. I was apprehensive at first , but the more I became familiar with the ideas the were being presented to me by the Readers Magnet representatives I became more accepting of the ideas. The workshops were extremely helpful for me. Asking questions and listening to others responding was also helpful, being given the chance to gain insight into what the training was all about, and for. Becoming more familiar with the the concept which was spoken live by the instructiors. I for one need to ask questions, questions that don’t intimidate, but trulyly try to help myself and maybe help someone else. Preparing for the day of Festival of Story Tellers approaches and knowing what I was going to do was important to me as I asked myself “where are you going with this adventure,” and reminding myself that God is an abundant God and with Him all things are possible. Remembering this truth gave way to Yuen idea of wearing a Lady Bug costume which is one of the characters in my book, The Ladybug and the Bully Frog. I must say I was a bit skeptical, but with the encouragement of Readers Magnet Advisors Jam , as well as my family, was the boost I needed to go forward and have Victory over my fears. The day of the Festival of Story Tellers event was amazing, scary, and challenging to say the least. It was extremely helpful for me to know the staff of Readers Magnet was knowledgeable and helpful for me as well as the Moderator with the line of questions being asked of me was also helpful to bring to the public how I became an Author and the the Stories I wrote for children and adults. These 3 books that I have written The Song Of Solomon The Snail , The Ladybug and the Bully Frog, as well as Solomon Snail’s Beach Adventure, were gifts given to me by the Mighty Wondrous Voice of Love, His Message for the young and the young at heart. My life is but a story of a story teller. I encourage others to write their own ideas. We all have something unique to share, as unique as we are, This story may also help someone to become creative with something new and wonderful. My vision and Storywas written on my heart never knowing where it would all go. When we are thinking of the unimaginable “ Could I” or”What If”, I say , “Yes,”. This is because my idea started with something small, and grew into something unimaginable. The journey with Readers Magnet brought forth the incredible day of Story Tellers Festival and hearing”You can do all things unimaginable and unobtainable with Godwhich with God all are made possible. From my heart to yours Readers Magnet I say Hurray!!! And Thank You! A very special Thanks to Jam and Eden your gifts and talents are greatly appreciated as well as your patience and kindness helped me to grow and accomplish the tasks set before me . you are truly an asset to your company.Thanks so much for God used you both in a Mighty way in my life. Keep thinking the unimaginable!!! Author Caroleann Rice
June 16, 2021This is a great website which has given me the opportunity to reach out to many potential new readers in regards to my published boxing books.
June 16, 2021ReadersMagnet is a vanity press that functions with integrity and honesty. My first book was published by another self-publisher who created a beautiful cover and published my book, took my... read more money, and then left me in the cold with little customer service or advice on copyrights, Amazon practices and royalties. ReadersMagnet offered to collaborate with me on marketing and graciously schooled me in being a new author and helped me obtain a copyright, advised on Amazon, and told me how royalties are paid. They recently published my second book which is a work of art outside as well as on the inside. They held my hand the entire way responding to issue and questions, and they applied for the copyright on my behalf. ReadersMagnet is not a scam. They utilize the same sales techniques as all other self-publishing companies. Disregard the posts of disingenuous, disgruntled authors who complain that people are not reading their blogs only their 2017 post complaining about a call from ReadersMagnet. Recently ReadersMagnet hosted The Festival of Storytellers where 16,000 people worldwide visited a site of 150 author booths and 42 Author of the Hour presentations and 3 keynote speakers over a two- week period. This highly successful and unique event focused solely on authors who livestreamed from their booths and entertained questions from around the world. Who else would offer such sophisticated exposure of the author and their works? Who? A company made up of seasoned and young professionals who are innovative, creative, and smart and who care about authors, ReadersMagnet. #thefestival of storytellers #readersmagnet
