After more than 25 years writing, editing, and event planning in fields ranging from academics and the arts to the business and nonprofit worlds, I founded Pyxis Creative Solutions LLC because I believe in writers and writing, in what they can do for each other and how they can contribute -- not to the economy of the marketplace but the economy of ideas and concepts that make our world a more diverse, interesting, and ultimately, a wiser place.
The name Pyxis is derived from Pyxis Nautica or Mariner's Compass. I chose it both for its reference to the navigational tool and the constellation named after it.
You've come to Pyxis Creative Solutions because you are searching for guidance and support in a publishing landscape that seems to be constantly shifting and evolving.
Promotion is about relationships first and foremost and not just with media platforms. When we work together the first thing I’ll do is listen. To you. I'll hold open a space for your vision and can provide you with "navigational" services and carefully crafted messaging, but the voice will always be yours.
This approach allows me to help you present your work at its very best. It enables me to understand your needs, message, style, and personality so that I can promote you and your work in a way that looks and feels authentic to you. In addition, my experience as an event planner and coordinator enables me to help you conceptualize, produce, and disseminate information in a way that best suits your needs and goals.
I look forward to hearing your story.

I recently had the honor of talking with award-winning thriller writer Karen E. Osborne (Reckonings, Tangled Lies, and Getting It Right,) about writing, reading, editing and the importance of planning ahead when you're marketing your book as part of Karen's "What are You Reading? What are You Writing" series.
