What if you could write a book, market your book, or have someone publicize your book based on what readers and customers ACTUALLY want?

We call it Consumer Psychology.

It’s what influences a person (including a reader, agent, or publisher) to fall in love with or pick certain products (or books) over others.

And it’s what I do FOR AUTHORS.

I’m Rilian,

Editor, Social Media Assistant, & Publicist. As a psych graduate from California’s Polytechnic State University, 4 years as an editorial & publicity intern, & a savvy book lover, I help clients deepen their stories & attract buyers to their books or platforms.

The twist?

I approach each book edit, story character, social media post, & publicity pitch from the psychology behind what readers want. Then I help you tap into that to elevate & enrich your story while still maintaining its integrity.

  • Rilian at Pomegranate Publishing is amazing. She took her time and detailed what worked well in my book and what needed improving. Her positive energy was contagious and encouraging. Working with her has given me clear direction on how to take my novel to the next level. I highly recommend her and cannot sing her praises enough. I hope to be able to have her onboard for all my future novels.

  • If you are looking for an editor who will truly care and nurture your story, then Rilian is definitely the way to go. It was evident from her editorial letter that she had taken the time to understand my story and characters. The feedback she gave was just what I needed to grow the story even further. Her editorial letter was thorough, yet encouraging and is my constant companion as I go through the editing process. I truly loved working with her and will definitely look forward to working with her on future projects!

“Be it editing or publicity, Rilian will definitely get you squared away. She's been editing my clients' manuscripts with me for the past 4 years and has taken over all of my publicity clientele. Clients get from her the same services they'd get from me. She even still has me do a read-over of her editorial letters before sending them out, to ensure each gets two sets of highly-skilled eyes. You'll be in great hands!”
