I highly recommend both new and established authors look into the Wise Bear Digital Book Awards. With the way digital media has blossomed, it’s an excellent way to obtain exposure. Not only do you have an opportunity to become an award-winning author, but you’ll also receive a detailed book review (something many other award entries don’t include). My experience with the entire process has been great and I would definitely consider entering future titles. – Aya Knight, author of The Chronicles of Kale: A Dragon’s Awakening
I found TJ and Quinn’s show “All Things Digital” to be a great way to promote my book and give me exposure as an author. Both TJ and Quinn are very knowledgeable about the current revolution sweeping the world of publishing and books. They were both very engaging and asked great questions. The podcast format has enabled me to use the broadcast on my web page, Twitter and Facebook for promotion. In addition to that, TJ and Quinn were a lot of fun. I would love to do more things with them in the future. – Greg Messel
My first experience with Quinn was in reading her fantastic novel “Invisible Snow”. Her novel is refreshing, entertaining and a great read. Afterwards, I was invited to participate in an interview on her Blog Talk Radio program-Wise Bear Books: All Things Digital. As co-owner of Wise Bear Media, Quinn brings a level of authenticity, professionalism, expert opinions on publishing, marketing and digital media to the table. I find her expertise invaluable and look forward to working with her in the future. –Yolanda Washington

Quinn was prepared, informed, engaged, and made me feel entirely at home!

Thanks to Quinn, it was a breeze. –Pamela Bitterman
It was a joy for me to work with someone so organized and thoughtful. She even rescheduled my interview when I realized it conflicted with my tight schedule. Doing an interview is scary for someone like me that has never done one before. Quinn put all my fears to rest. I would recommend Quinn Barrett and Wise Bear Books to all my writer friends. Also don’t forget to check out her book “Invisible Snow” available on Amazon. –Madison Johns

Quinn Barrett and Wise Bear Media published my book. Quinn’s expertise and step-by-step guidance throughout made an otherwise daunting and overwhelming experience, not only complete in a timely manner, but clear and understandable.

It looks great and we’re getting great response. –Nikki Biers
Quinn was wonderful and warm during our interview today. She guided me so kindly through my first live interview on line.

I highly recommend Quinn Barrett at Wise Bear Books and her program “All Things Digital Media Podcast” on Blog Talk Radio. For authors looking to promote their books, and especially for fans of great fiction looking for the “back story” and inside info on their favorite author, this is one pod cast you should NOT miss! Quinn’s interviews are exceptional! She allows the author to talk, not just stick to a set script of boring Q & A. which other pod cast author’s shows are prone to do. Totally enjoyable experience. –Raven West
Working with Quinn was an enjoyable and relaxed experience. I felt as though I was sitting down chatting with an old friend over coffee. Her questions were detailed and out of the box, it was a refreshing style of interview. I was very happy with the end product. If you haven’t had an interview with Quinn, I highly suggest you do. –Robin Murphy
Quinn is a champion for the Independent Author and really understands how to mentor new authors in all phases of the publishing process. In a recent radio interview, Quinn was able to coach me through what was my first author interview. The consummate professional, she works tirelessly to help independent writers all the while she is a writer herself of the novel Invisible Snow. –Jon Teetsell
I want to thank Quinn Barrett for being great. Quinn interviewed me on Blog Talk Radio recently Her in depth questions about my work were right on point and creative. Quinn prepared dynamic and thought provoking questions. Doing a radio interview for an author might normally be nerve wracking, but Quinn had me at ease in the minutes before we began. She found common ground in our raising teens, divorce and joy in our work. I felt a friend was going to interview me. This warm quality brought forward a very lovely 30 minute chat about books, writing techniques, themes in my work and what it means to be indie. (now you know how the greats get the stuff on real famous personalities- they make them feel at home). I am going to give a shout out for this busy Author, businesswoman and radio personality. After our interview I purchased her book, Invisible Snow. I have not yet finished reading, but love the family story, the suspense and her wonderful writing. Quinn thank you again for sharing yourself with other authors and readers this truly is best of breed actions. –Caroline Gerardo
When Quinn interviewed recently me for her Wise Bear Books podcast, she was professional, personable and prepared — three key characteristics of a radio host. I had a great time and would return as a guest on her show anytime! –Mark David Gerson
Working with Quinn was an incredible delight. From the start she demonstrates how invested she is in broadcasting an engaging, educational and professional radio show. We spoke prior to officially booking the show, which I greatly appreciated, so that we could establish rapport and ensure that we’d be a good match on-air. This attention to detail is just one of many attributes Quinn has which make her a great radio host. She is clearly dedicated to both her show and helping authors find their way through an ever changing book market. Quinn even took the time after our show to call me and motivate me to begin my own show. I’m going to do so, thanks to her encouragement. What a wonderful person she is. I was thrilled to be on her Wise Bear Books radio show and would highly recommend her to all authors who want to have a fun and intelligent conversation about all things book-related. Thank you for the wonderful experience, Quinn. –Jodi Ambrose

She followed through with plans, and conducted a fresh, inciteful, informative interview which was enjoyable for me and hopefully all the listeners. I highly recommend working with her in any capacity she offers. –Patrick McMahon
I have done many radio and blogtalk interviews. However, I have to say that Quinn did much more homework on my subject than most interviewers prior to the interview. Not only did she read my book “Face-To-Face Networking It’s All About Communication” she lead into the interview with interesting statistics and why she personally felt face-to-face networking is an important subject to discuss even in the digital age. During the interview she was very polite, inquisitive and positive. It was truly a delight working with her and would advise anyone to trust Quinn when she says she’ll help make an interview a win/win/win. –Kathy Condon
Quinn understands her medium, the radio interview, and helps the interviewee with appropriate topics questions and guidance.

Quinn is prepared and organized, but more than that she is superb at helping people and giving an informed, upbeat interview that highlights the best in her client’s writing. I thoroughly enjoyed our interview and look forward to being on the show when my next book is published! –Diane Tegarden

Quinn is a top notch interviewer who gave my books a refreshingly new perspective, putting my books in a positive light which I think will attract more readers. She is both professional and easy to communicate with and I could not believe that a 1/2 an hour interview passed by so fleetingly! Quinn made the interview effortless and rather than being nervous, she had the marvelous ability to put me at ease. Anyone would be wise to interview with her. –Chaz A. Young
