And Your Co-Host, Lara Helmling

Lara is the founder of the Bestselling Author Studio and Forest City Publications. Before she founded the Studio, she was an acquisitions editor for a major New York publisher and digital marketer. In that work, Lara saw too many authors who were thrilled to have their books published only to be crushed when no one bought them. To fix the problem, Lara began teaching authors how to build a winning marketing system that will continue to produce and grow.

When authors talk about working with the Studio, what they love the most is that Lara helps them take back their dreams. They love her insight into what makes copy POP off the page, and what gives every marketing effort that IT factor, that eye-popping "WOW." And, just for the record, Lara loves flamingos.
