Testimonials
“Going through the BookLaunch Pro session with Fran was exactly what I needed to feel less stressed about my launch. It was a total game-changer for me. I came out of the session with a crystal-clear plan on the marketing channels I should prioritize and how to best activate them. Just as importantly, I also have clarity on the areas I shouldn't waste my time on. If you're a nonfiction author who is looking for expert help with your book launch, I would highly recommend Fran and this awesome program!”

“I can't overstate the impact of the guidance I've received from Fran Hauser on my journey as a debut author. With her expert advice, I reshaped my initial book concept into something far more compelling and marketable. The decision to pursue a hybrid publishing path, as we discussed several options, was a game-changer, offering me the perfect balance of creative freedom and broad reach.
Additionally, Fran introduced me to an incredible hybrid publisher. This connection has led me to a publishing deal. I am thrilled to announce my book is slated for release in Fall 2024 - A BOLD vision turned reality!”

“As a first-time author, Fran’s BookLaunch Pro was a game-changer. Though I’m a seasoned marketer, Fran made creating a breakthrough book launch easy and joyful. She has examples for every step of the process and organizes them for flawless execution. Most of all, I loved my session with Fran. I am blown away by her warmth, wisdom, and generosity.”

“I had been thinking about writing a book for a while but needed help nailing down the concept and figuring out who I was writing the book for. Fran was so helpful in coaching me through this and helping me gain clarity on ALL of it. She also walked me through the publishing process -- I didn't realize how many different options there were! We decided self-publishing would be the best path for me and my book. Fran has been an incredible partner on this journey, and I can't wait for my book to come out!”
— Diane Marie Pisera, Entrepreneur and Marketing Consultant
“I was so excited to have Fran's council during the development stage of my Romances & Practicalities book proposal. Her industry knowledge and foresight for what my proposal should contain and how it should land were invaluable to me. Fran was also a helpful resource for crucial industry decisions I made during the proposal process, most specifically when I switched agents. All in all, Fran took both my project and me under her wing. She is a delight to work with, and I was able to maximize my publishing deal with HarperCollins because of our work together.”
— Lindsay Roth, Executive Producer, RIZ Productions & Author
“I have felt so discouraged and anxious about this entire book launch, but my call with Fran was a turning point. Fran not only made the whole marketing/launch process feel manageable AND doable, but she also made me believe in myself and my capabilities again. I'm forever grateful that Fran lent her time and expertise to support my book, The Waggle Dance.”

“Fran has been an instrumental part of my journey as a first-time author, and as someone pivoting from communications exec. to elevating myself as an author and speaker. Her deep knowledge, both in the publishing and media world and in the women’s empowerment and career development space, is invaluable. Our Build Your Platform session and the associated pre-work provided me with the critical thinking, insights, and clarity I needed to move forward. And it was an absolute joy to spend that time with Fran! Her blend of kindness, intelligence, and collaborative spirit is so rare. I can’t wait for what lies ahead, and I couldn’t have asked for a better thought partner.”

“I have the privilege of teaching nonspeaking autistic students how to communicate by spelling (i.e., pointing at letters on a laminated card) and typing. It's been remarkable to see the creativity unleashed in these children and young adults, resulting in poems, short stories, and even songs. I've been on a mission to share their work with the world, and Fran Hauser was able to help me make that vision a reality. Fran gave me access to financial capital and experts who contributed to the creation of Spellbound: The Voices of the Silent, a book that wildly exceeded my expectations. In addition, she project-managed the entire process and came up with the most creative launch ideas. All my students and I are grateful to Fran for being our book whisperer and fairy godmother!”
