"Kiana is a social media and communications expert who delivers high-quality results with professionalism. I had the pleasure of working with Kiana in the months leading to the launch of my young adult book, Deficient, as well as on launch day and the months that followed. The communication strategy she helped me create made me much more excited about social media, and I feel I am engaging with readers in a way that I wouldn't otherwise. Many people have commented on the professionalism and quality of my social media engagements since working with Kiana – the word 'awesome' is often used! Kiana is extremely kind, supportive, creative, and she is willing to go the extra mile for her clients."

"Stand Up Mobile is a three-year-old nonprofit that relies on clear, concise content that begs to communicate with a diverse audience on very serious and important topics. In addition, we need to stay fresh and current. We cannot say enough about how important it is to have a professional handle your communication needs and digital presence. Ms. Stockwell is that professional. She carefully listens, not only hearing the words we use to express our communication needs, but she hears the emotion and feelings and is wonderful at projecting the emotions and concerns in the copy she writes or the graphics she makes.
It is great to work with someone who is flexible, always thinking and sharing information and content, and meets with you weekly with an agenda to be sure we are going in the right direction."
–Beverly Cooper and Amelia Bacon, co-founders of Stand Up Mobile

“I first used Kiana's services two years ago when I was preparing to launch my first book––a memoir. I couldn't have done it without her. She handled all the aspects of social media: graphic design, scheduling posts, sharing other author's posts where appropriate, creating events on Facebook, maintaining a timetable, organizing my online calendar (Trello), and providing an archive on Google Drive. She helped to run my virtual launch, designed my materials (bookmarks, business cards, book launch invitations), and more. So successful was this campaign that she and I won a first-place award for a Social Media Campaign for a Book from the Connecticut Press Club, and an honorable mention in the national contest.
Kiana's enthusiasm, diligence, and knowledge of book marketing is invaluable. I have used her for marketing my debut novel and will continue to use her going forward. I couldn't ask for a better person at my side as I bring my books to the world.”
–Gabi Coatsworth, author of Love’s Journey Home: A Memoir and A Beginner’s Guide to Starting Over: A Novel

“I started working with Kiana one year before my book launched. By the time the book came out, it was well positioned through social media that it was recognizable by many unique benchmarks created by Kiana. She is professional, creative, and passionate about what she does. She understands authors and how they connect with their books. It's a pleasure working with her. I can't wait to promote my next book with her.”
—Micki Berthelot Morency, author of The Island Sisters
