As an author, I write about getting ahead financially, and for business owners, putting a content marketing system to work (Power Marketing).
As a book publishing supporter, I have helped authors of self-help, health, wealth, spiritual and memoir books. You could say I have a good handle on efficient copy editing.
I also let novice authors know some of the pitfalls of self-publishing, as well as how to increase book profits — because that’s something that’s always troubled me!
But to me, author marketing seems so much more important than simply marketing a book. Along with gaining more wrinkles, in the past decade I’ve learned a lot about niche marketing and building a personal brand, and I’m eager to share this with you, in courses online.
So come with me and take your first steps…

It may feel daunting to launch your freelance business from scratch. For the uninitiated, there can be numerous hurdles to overcome on the way to having a successful freelancing career. As a freelancer myself and in contact with other soloists,…
Advertising a new book in magazines is a choice fraught with spending anxiety. Most Australian authors self-publishing (those surveyed) do not make much income from their writing — about $12,000 p.a. from royalties on average — so advertising and its results need…
I know you just adore marketing (she says dryly), but why four hours a week? Well, if you consult or freelance around 20 hours a week, that’s 20% on top of your work time, and with proposal writing time, it…
False pretense aside, yes I have a short book coming out next week, entitled ‘How to Start a Freelance Business in Australia’, so of course I’m somewhat selling the benefits of a freelancer lifestyle. But as an experienced freelance copywriter and editor,…

We often say that we want to live a healthier life. We make all these new year’s resolutions about exercising more and losing weight and a host of other things, but how many of us really follow-through? Is it that…
POD sounds easy, but there’s a massive difference between an amateur and a professional when it comes to presentation. We stumbled around for weeks doing our best to make our book, There’s a Gold Mine in Your Head look like a real book. Then we found Jennifer. In a matter of days it came back looking like a real book, ready to send off. Not only that, but Jennifer gave us some great tips on self publishing and contacting libraries, and she was always available when we hit another roadblock. We can’t recommend her services highly enough.Donald and Harry Stallman
Working with Jennifer on my first ebook project was an absolute pleasure. Not only did she guide me through the publishing process but she also added invaluable editing advice along the way. Her professionalism and expertise is apparent in the quality of the finished product. I learnt a lot working with Jennifer and will not hesitate to seek her services to assist with my next project.Martin Hadfield
Jennifer Lancaster edited my book, “Creating Healthy Life Habits”. I was very impressed with Jennifer’s efficiency, professionalism and attention to detail. Jennifer made recommendations to the text, making suggestions to change sentences or the order of words, so that it read better, and also picked up some minor but very important grammatical and punctuation errors. I was very happy with her suggestions and the work she did. I would have no hesitation in using her again, and can highly recommend her services.Mandy Napier BSC
Jennifer has a very honest and friendly manner which makes working with her flow very easily. Her editing skills are clear and very helpful. Thank you Jennifer for your part in my journey towards publishing.Soraya Saraswati
