Praise:

ā€œAs a book production and publishing professional, as well as an author myself, I cannot sing enough praises for Author Stylist Guide. Being an author isnā€™t only about writing; itā€™s a business that requires marketing and presenting ourselves in various venues and on multiple outlets, and this unique book could not be a more valuable guide. With her extensive experience, and with a spirit of encouragement and support throughout, Jennifer gives indispensable advice and detailed checklists for everything from participating in events and trade shows, to being a featured speaker, to being a guest on podcasts, and more. This is truly the book all authors have needed and wished for! From beginning to end, she infuses confidence, provides relatable examples, and provokes thoughtful consideration of the range of opportunities authors may be offered or want to consider to reach their audiences. Iā€™ll definitely be recommending this book to all my author clientsā€”and relish having it when I publish future books of my own.ā€

ā€œJennifer Miliusā€™ Author Stylist Guide is a book that every author should buy whether they have published one book or many.

Before I read it, I naively thought I knew how to prepare for almost any event, but this guide gave me tips that Iā€™d never thought of.

Ms. Milius is an expert at giving clear instructions on how to handle events and book signings among so many other subjects, she leaves no stone unturned.
Iā€™m so excited that I now have this bible to refer to the next time I have an event. Itā€™s a welcome guide for all authors.ā€

You Know it's a Verb, Right?

Using everyday language, You Know itā€™s a Verb, Right? is a roadmap with real-life examples that helps you bridge the gap between your technical skills and the leadership skills required to successfully guide individuals, teams, and organizations.

You will embark on a practice that demonstrates that leadership does not happen because you sat in a semester class or because you are a pioneer in your field - it happens because you prepare for it.

You Know it's a Verb, Right?

In the corporate world, no one tells you how to lead, much less how to be a good or great leader.

Youā€™re left to figure it out, and in most cases, with minimal support. And when "management" is freely interchanged "leadership," it can be confusing what leadership really is and how to lead.

Leadership is more than a title or being visible.

So often, people are put in charge of others because of their technical expertise, yet many find they are not prepared to lead.

It can be very difficult for individuals to go from subject matter expert to leader. Many people fail before they realize that to be a good leader takes time, consistency, practice, and a different set of skills.

Ā 

I Have Three Hopes For You When You Read This Book:

  • You enjoy reading (or listening to) it and get incredible value from it.
  • You realize there's more to leadership than meets the eye.
  • You feel supported as you cultivate your leadership practice.Ā 

Praise:

ā€œ'Being a boss doesnā€™t make someone a leader.' This is a quote from Wayne Applewhite and Jennifer Miliusā€™ book on leadership, You Know itā€™s a Verb, Right? That quote rings so true.

People are promoted into supervisory positions, but they donā€™t always possess or care to possess leadership qualities. Weā€™ve all had bosses like that, making work life miserable.

One of the things I like about this book is a series of questions throughout that allows individuals to reflect on their behaviors and attitudes and examines leadership through the eye of a moral compass.

The book is written for the novice and the long-term leader. But thereā€™s something in it for everyone. I also want to highlight that the book is co-authored. As a co-author of a book myself, I know this is not an easy task. However, given the quality of this book, itā€™s obviously a successful partnership."

ā€œI found the ā€˜Wayne remembersā€™ and ā€˜Jen remembersā€™ sections to be particularly useful, as they provide real-life examples that support and illustrate the authorsā€™ arguments. The use of plain language makes this audiobook easy to understand and follow. The audio quality is clear, and the narration (done by the authors) is evenly paced, with an appropriate tone and rhythm, which makes it an enjoyable listen. Anyone who wants to improve their leadership skills will appreciate this book.ā€

The Einstein & Moo series

My first published works were a rhyming picture book series for young readers about our family's tuxedo kitties.

The Einstein and Moo series is purrfect for children ages 3 through 8 and about two black-and-white, brother and sister kitties who are playful, curious, friendly, and have many interesting adventures.Ā
