With a rich infusion of strategy, a soothing brew of storytelling, and a dash of vibrant personality, Tales & Teacups helps authors and creative businesses steep their books and projects in a way that leaves their audience craving every word, sip, and story.

You need a marketing expert (okay you don’t NEED us, you’re a strong independent writer that don’t need no experts).

But! maybe you want to work with an expert, someone who has a totally normal and healthy obsession with marketing (okay maybe a little unhealthy), someone who knows how to weave your story into every corner of the internet and is skilled at turning your marketing woes into readers that are tripping over themselves to buy your book.

The Brew of Success?

A captivating book you've poured your heart into

A magical author that’s ready to razzle the sh*t out of their marketing plan (psst, that’s you!)

A strategy to infuse your book with the best-selling ingredients it deserves

You’ve already got the first two now let me handle the rest

Because turns out being an author is 5% writing a book and 95% coming up with interesting new ways to beg strangers online to buy the book

And if you’re like most authors we know you’re currently stuck in the what the hell am I doing phase I thought I just had to write the book.

Why work with Tales & Teacups?

So instead of crying into a blank google doc (we’ve all been there) cry with Tales & Teacups instead.

Working with T&T means having a dedicated steaming pot of marketing, branding, and piping hot strategy to pinpoint what your audience is thirsty for and turn your book into the next must-read sensation that everyone will be brewing over - and no more crying (hopefully).

TEA-rific Testimonials

Tales & Teacups worked with Maeve to launch her 3rd Novel Love Not Qualified. While we worked with her we tripled her arc sign ups, doubled her mailing list, and launched Love Not Qualified into #1 bestseller in two different categories on Amazon AU and top #11 on Amazon USA.

MAEVE HAZEL - AMAZON #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LOVE NOT QUALIFIED

I have so many things to say that I don’t know which to start with. Ruby? She’s a wonder. I thought she’d only help me get from A to B, but she became a friend. She was happy for every single small achievement I got thanks to her and never stopped answering my questions. She was super patient with me about being an internet granny and not knowing how to use some of the apps she suggested and she let me do things at my own pace. She didn’t put any pressure on me but made sure to make some hope bloom inside me. I only dreamed about occupying #1 on Amazon and now, on the first day of my release, I have become a bestselling author. She’s truly the best. THE BEST! I love you Ruby (p.s once you have her, you won’t want to let her go)
