Story/Series Development Coaching:
“Becky not only provided the push I needed to take a chance on a new pen name and genre, she also helped refine my vision and find my voice. She is professional, prompt, and an absolute pleasure to work with. If you are looking for any bookish services or even advice, I highly recommend her for all your needs.” ~ author Mindy McKinley/Mimi Kinley
“Becky and Leah are Bookcase Media are great. I’ve had the pleasure of working with them for over a year. They understand the reality of indie authors being chaos goblins. I never get anything less than genuine support from this team. They make it happen and truly care about the authors they partner with as well as the genre as a whole. They were readers first and it shows!” ~ author Maude Winters
“This woman (Becky) is an encyclopedia of romance. Becky Burrier can recall plots, tropes, steam levels, and well-written characters. And all of these things are at her fingertips. This makes her an invaluable resource to the romance writer. In editing, creating, and plotting, I relied on her expertise to help guide me through some tricky writing spots with my Winery series as well as in the beginning of my Holiday Disasters series. She’s a sounding board but also someone who respects and cares deeply for the genre and writers. “- author Kelly Kay
Developmental Editing
“I’ve worked with Leah on three novels and she has been wonderful! Not only is she extremely educated on the inner workings of publishing and all things romance, she’s been so supportive of me throughout this journey. She gives honest, constructive feedback and genuinely cares about her authors. I look forward to working with Bookcase Media in the future and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to achieve their goals in the field of writing.” ~ author KE McIntyre
“Leah’s attention to detail and asking the hard questions have been key to helping me finesse my work. She also will not bat an eye when you send her a truly unhinged email about adding a book to your publishing schedule. I highly recommend her!” ~author Danica Flynn
Accountability Partnership -From author Shannon Elliot
Working with Bookcase Media has definitively been the best decision I’ve made thus far in my author career! The team of Becky, Leah, and Amanda has such an incredible wealth of knowledge about the publishing industry as well as the skill sets to back up all of their advice.
I have worked with them in almost every capacity of services they offer and have always been extremely grateful for their work. The accountability partnership has changed how I pursue publishing. The goals and timelines they helped me develop as well has freed me to focus on writing and doing the work I love. Every manuscript I send to them for developmental, line edits, and/or proof reading comes back with feedback and corrections which have significantly improved my writing and storytelling. They have also helped me with query materials and I was able to successfully sign with an agent!
Bookcase Media has been a game-changer for me. I have truly found a partnership with them which I will benefit from and cherish for a long time. If you are considering working with them, I cannot recommend them enough!
P.S. If you’re neuro-spicy, these ladies know how to work with our brains and it is so valuable to have people who are able to help direct and focus my energies! They get us!
Proofreading
“Leah has been a total lifesaver. After getting my rights back to multiple books, I really needed someone to proofread for me so I could get the books back up on retail sites as quickly as possible. Thanks to her fantastic skills and fast turnaround, I’m stressing a lot less and getting my stories back in the hands of readers.” ~author Samantha Chase
Buzzing about Romance Drunk Book Club
“How could I not participate in a book club with this name? 🙂 I attended with my glass of wine in hand and had a blast! These gals are so kind and so much fun, I left with a face that hurt from laughing and a big boost of self-esteem! Their insightful comments show their genuine love of books and the romance genre.”
~ guest author, Kelly Jamieson
” As a dorky borderline workaholic introvert, my instinct is usually to say ‘no’ to requests to participate in video chats with multiple total strangers, but I’m so glad I said ‘yes’ to being a guest author for Drunk Book Club. All the ladies were so cool and I had so much fun talking with them. Despite all the Zoom participants, the conversation was always organized and didn’t go off the rails. I also learned a lot, because every single one of those women reads more than I do. It’s great to talk to readers like this, and I’d recommend the experience to anyone.”
~ guest author, Kayley Loring
“Buzzing about Romance Drunk Book Club was so much fun. The last time I was a guest author was on release day, so having the opportunity to share that with everyone that night was such a special experience. I love the conversations and the questions and the getting to dive in on the books and characters. There is nothing better than a group of girlfriends sitting around chatting about romance and this was all that and more!” ~ guest author J. Saman
Podcast Interview on Buzzing about Romance
“I always enjoy going on the Buzzing About Romance podcast. Becky and Leah always have insightful and fun questions. Talking romance books and writing with them is always a joy.” ~author Mariah Ankenman
” Becky and Leah were lovely to work with: organized and on top of details as well as doing everything to make our podcast interview easy as well as fun. Their passion for romance books translates well into their banter and the relaxed nature of their interview style. Tons of fun to work with!” ~ author Karen White (aka author Karen Grey)
“Leah and Becky made my interview with them so stress-free, and more importantly, it was FUN! It was obvious they were knowledgeable about my books and weren’t trying to fake out the audience by pretending they’d read my stories. I felt quite at home and I swear we could’ve talked for hours. They’re my favorite duo to do interviews with!” ~ author Susan Stoker
