M.J. Kuhn
author of Among Thieves, Thick as Thieves, and The Ultimate SFF Story Bible
Alyssa is a joy to work with! I've collaborated with her on several events, including the launch and promotional preorder campaign for the sequel to my international bestseller, Among Thieves, and a star-studded event I was able to emcee with Evan Leikam and Joe Abercrombie, celebrating the launches of their of their 2025 books. Alyssa (readswithlys) is communicative, knowledgeable, and determined; whether the desired outcome is a local preorder campaign and in-store signing, or authors flying across continents and oceans to come together to promote each other's work, she'll make it happen. You can't go wrong with readswithlys!

social media professional
I worked directly with Alyssa at Sidetrack Bookshop during her tenure as Manager and Lead Bookseller. Alyssa has excellent attention to detail, creativity, and is extremely resourceful. While working for a small, independent bookstore, she planned events for authors with debut releases, globally recognized bestselling authors (like Dav Pilkey and Joe Abercrombie) and more. Every event received the same enthusiasm, knowledge, and hard work to make it successful. I learned a lot from Alyssa on the world of publishing and bookselling and I feel confident recommending her for any position in marketing, publishing, events, and the overall bookish world.
Evan Leikam
author of Anji Kills a King and
Anji in Shadow
Tor Books and I worked closely with Alyssa while she coordinated the largest stop on my debut national book tour. She was able to not only organize and execute a fantastic event, but saw to every need that I had without fail. Every stop on my tour came with its own interruptions, but the event Alyssa planned went off without a hitch and succeeded beyond my expectations. Her creativity and attention to detail are topped only by her enthusiasm and flexibility with everyone involved. I would recommend her without question for your marketing and publishing needs.

author of Built to Last, Friends Don't Fall in Love, and Catch and Keep
Alyssa is professional, organized, and extremely in all the ways that matter (and then some!) when dealing with Creatives. Her enthusiasm is top tier and she really, truly understands the ins and outs of publishing and social media. She's the perfect asset to any author, whether they be brand new to publishing or decades into their career. Times are changing and Alyssa has her finger on the pulse.
