Hello, I’m Jeffrey Yamaguchi, a published author and book marketing expert.
A Lifetime in Books

I work with authors and publishers to successfully launch books and build publishing programs.
I’ve been very fortunate to have spent most of my career to-date in the publishing world. As an author, I’ve self-published books, been published by a Big 5 publisher, and had stories and poems published in numerous literary journals. And as a marketer, I’ve worked and run departments at publishers both big and small, leading campaigns for some of the most successful, bestselling authors of all time, as well as writers who are just launching their careers. My inspiration is fed by what happens in the publishing space, and I love being a part of the community that drives what’s going to happen next.
