She knows her stuff!!

August 22, 2025

When I made the decision to return to being wide, I quickly realized that things had changed in the four years I had been strictly KU. Erin was recommended by a NYT bestselling author to help jumpstart my sales. I contacted her and we met for at least 3-4 times. After our first meeting, I immediately saw an improvement in my sales. She gave me tips on how each vendor works. I'm happy to report that so far this year, I've made more being wide than I did previously being strictly KU. I highly recommend that you hire Erin. She's going to make you work, but in the end, it was worth all the changes. I'm still having her check my sites to see how I can improve. Like I said, she knows her stuff.

Erin is the best!

August 20, 2025

My consultation with Erin in January 2022 completely altered the course of my author career. She knows what she is talking about and is able to deliver information tailored to your books, goals, and career. She is also incredible at sharing everything she learns, from her how-to videos, courses, and general publishing news. Self-publishing is a solitary endeavor, but Erin has nurtured a community that makes me feel supported, and like she always has my back. Best decision of my life. Thank you Erin!

I love Erin!

August 18, 2025

The day I discovered Erin was the day I started to view things about my author career that I hadn't ever considered before. She is amazing, and full of so much information its a joy to talk to her. She gives insightful and useful information that has benefited me in ways I never imagined. I look forward to talking to her and can't implement her suggestions fast enough. If you're considering booking a consultation, do it sooner rather than later otherwise you'll ask yourself why you waited.

You Don’t Have to “Go Wide” Alone

August 18, 2025

“Going Wide” can feel overwhelming, but working 1-on-1 with Erin Wright has made all the difference for me. From my first consultation with her, I’ve felt heard. She reviewed my catalog ahead of time, so our conversation wasn’t generic. It was specific to my situation and full of clear, actionable steps to get traction on the various online platforms.

A couple of years later, when I booked a follow-up, Erin still remembered my genre and readers. That familiarity meant we could go even deeper, uncovering fresh strategies to grow my business.

In between those sessions, I’ve also taken many of Erin's courses, and they’ve been just as practical and encouraging. What stands out most, though, is Erin herself—her genuine curiosity, the personal relationships she’s built with industry contacts, and the way she cares about indie authors’ success. She’s become a trusted partner on my publishing journey, and I’m so grateful to know I don’t have to walk this wide path alone.

The best in the biz!

August 16, 2025

I always turn to Erin when I need guidance or reassurance that the next moves I'm making as a wide author are the right ones. She's so knowledgeable and encouraging and I always leave our conversations feeling optimistic about my author career. It's worth every penny to get a one-on-one consult with her!

Loads of useful information!

August 16, 2025

I had a consult with Erin, and it was super helpful. She knows a LOT about the wide retailers and how to get traction on them. I've also taken some of her courses and let me tell you that they are worth the time and money. My Google sales have doubled (some months tripled) since implementing her suggestions.

I love working with Erin!

August 16, 2025

Doing consultations with Erin is always informative, insightful, and so helpful! Working with her has helped me get to where I am today in my career. Erin helped me make big decisions when it came to publishing, and it was very nice having someone who knows the industry to bounce ideas off of and get advice from. Because of Erin, I'm a wide author, and I'm able to maximize that from the tips and tricks she has given me. I enjoy chatting with Erin, and I would definitely do more consultations with her in the future!

Personalized and well-informed consultation

August 15, 2025

Erin is hardwired to help you get the best out of your catalog even if you've been publishing for years or to help you start your publishing career (if you're just getting started) on solid footing. She's knowledgeable and generous, and she genuinely loves seeing authors build successful publishing platforms. Book your consultation with her today. Seriously. It may be one of the best investments you can make toward your publishing goals.

Erin has spent years building knowledge of our industry through intensive research, discussing the business with hundreds if not thousands of authors, and going right to the source—chatting directly representatives from Apple, Barnes & Noble, BookBub, and more. Not only does she have the know-how, she has the heart. She WANTS to see authors succeed. She wants to see YOU succeed. You can expect her to be well familiar with your catalog before your consultation begins and that the information she provides will be tailored to you specifically. But be prepared for a firehose of info and a long list of homework!

Valuable and actionable insights that led to immediate improvements

August 15, 2025

I've had a few consultations with Erin, and each time I'm able to make some immediate changes to my "stuff," whether it's my blurbs, my keywords, how stuff is arranged on Google Play... and within 2 months, I can see the improvement in my sales. Erin doesn't sugarcoat anything—if you need to change something because it's not very good, she'll tell you (though not unkindly!), and her advice has made a big, positive difference in my author business.

Best decision I made as an author

August 15, 2025

My first consultation with Erin Wright was in July 2022. I know the date because I had the option of recording the meeting, and the timestamp shows up. I've gone back over that recording several times, picking out different areas I wanted to work on.
What made me seek Erin's advice was hearing other authors talk about how they had benefited from what she suggested. I've since had three other consultations with her, and each has been more targeted than the last. As I learn and grow, I'm able to gain more insight from Erin, because her connections in the industry have shaped how I look at my author business.
She's always been supportive, listening to me and asking questions to get a feel for what my needs were. She made me feel safe talking to her. She's not judgmental or critical. Her acceptance and openness have been two of the most valuable aspects of working with her.
After discussing decisions with Erin, I've never felt pressured to take her advice or to move forward faster. I feel seen and valued as a person and a writer. I'm more confident in decisions because I've learned so much from Erin, and her advice has paid off over the long run.
Because of her guidance, I have better-designed covers, blurbs, promo material, and I've created solid plans. Bonus: I'm more confident as an author. If you're considering a coaching session with Erin, don't hesitate. The sooner you decide, the more time you have to implement changes that advance your career.

One of Erin's Earliest Author Consultations

August 15, 2025

I was one of Erin's earliest consultations. I was moving my catalog from KU to wide, and I wanted to discuss my plan with her. I'm usually of the mind that I'd rather do something right once, than throw something quick together and have to re-visit several more times.

I found her very well informed and connected to the world of wide publishing, not to mention personable and a joy to chat with.

I have since attended many of the classes she has offered through Wide for the Win, and my experiences with those only reinforce my conclusion that Erin Wright is my go-to person when I don't understand some aspect of wide publishing.

I have never once regretted paying her for consultations, follow-ups, or classes... and I'd recommend anyone pursuing a wide publishing career get at least one consultation with her. I can't guarantee it'll change your life, but in my opinion, it certainly won't hurt.

Erin Wright is the best investment I’ve made in my author career.

August 15, 2025

Working with Erin Wright has been an absolute game-changer for my author business. Her deep knowledge of both writing and the indie publishing industry is incredible—she can see the big picture while breaking it down into manageable steps that don’t feel overwhelming. Erin has the most calming presence of anyone I’ve ever met. She’s talked me off more than one ledge, offering realistic, actionable options that help me move my business forward. She’s honest without being harsh, motivating without being pushy, and always focused on helping me succeed. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands indie publishing and how to help you thrive in it, I can’t recommend Erin enough

Game Changer!

August 15, 2025

Since 2023, I've been meeting with Erin to stratigize, opitimize, and improve every facet of my business. From platforms and distribution, product pages and metadata, bookmaking and backmatter, pricing and promotions, and all the other millions of things, we've covered them all. She's a wealth of practicticed knowldge, a pleasure to spend time with, and she happens to be kind and considerate to boot. A no brainer in today's saturated market.

Erin is Amazing

August 15, 2025

I had like three sales on retailers for over a year, but after implementing Erin's suggestions from our consultation, I saw IMMEDIATE results. She knows her stuff and she is really fantastic at letting you know what will work specifically for you and your business.

Detailed, professional, and kind

August 15, 2025

I've had two consultations with Erin, and she has been helpful and kind in both. She reviewed my books and marketing in detail and with utmost professionalism and gave me tips to improve everything from my covers to my backmatter to my distribution. And I know her advice was personalized, because I've heard her give general advice to big audiences that doesn't match what she told me, but she gave me very specific reasons for why she recommended a different strategy for my particular circumstances. Now that I've revamped with her advice, I'm happy with what I'm doing, but when I'm ready to branch out again, she can expect to hear my polite knock on her door. And I know she'll be ready and smiling.

My career got an upgrade with Erin

August 15, 2025

Back in 2021, I made the decision to go wide and booked my first consultation with Erin. She helped me make the leap, guided me as I split my two genres into separate pen names and gave me the confidence to boost my author career.

The work hasn't been easy (most times I come away from a chat with her with a massive to do list that in the end proves to be just what I need to take things to the next level). I've seen growth on wide platforms, gotten a couple of BookBub Featured Deals, improved my print sales and made the jump with audiobooks and large print editions. I would not be where I am today without Erin's support and knowledge. I couldn't imagine a better mentor.
