The Bonus Chapter

Have an event, launch, or exciting update on the horizon?
Even if it falls outside the scope of your current package, I’d still love for you to share the details with me. As my client, you’re always welcome to send along anything you’re working on—I’m happy to give a little extra love by promoting your event or launch on my social channels as a complimentary bonus.

Just a quick note: if you’d like me to create any additional graphics, captions, written content, or other custom assets specifically for the promotion, those will be considered add-ons and billed separately via my à la carte menu (see above).
