About Me
Make Your Dreams Come true With Me
I love it when I help a writer find what’s amazing about their story and develop the skill and the courage to confidently share it with the world. Her roster of authors includes New York Times bestselling authors Susan Peirce Thompson (Bright Line Eating), Chris Bailey (The Productivity Project; Hyperfocus), Cait Flanders (The Year of Less), Paul Jarvis (Company of One), the new work of Nicola Kraus (The Nanny Diaries) and Jake Wood (Once a Warrior).
In a marketing and publicity capacity, Isaac has worked with New York Times bestselling authors Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt of Freakonomics, Gretchen Rubin of The Happiness Project, Ben Mezrich of Bringing Down the House and Busting Vegas, and many more.
Today we talk about the value of traditional publishing in an increasingly self-published world, how to stand out as an author, what’s trending in books, and what she does (and doesn’t) want to see more of in her slush pile.

What our clients say about us
I am pleased to have found Leap Write Literary. Clint Saunders is my contact. He is helping me achieve my dream of having my book out there and selling well. Thank you Clint and team!
Linda Mitts – SO…YOU WANT THE LAW OF ATTRACTION TO WORK
Alex Davis and Leap Write Literary have been a great help to us. They are very professional and work very efficiently to expedite the process of publication and marketing. We received our first call from a movie producer just two days after submitting our query letter to movie studios. We would recommend their service to anyone looking to publish or to turn their writing project into a movie.
Leap Write Literary has been a pleasant experience starting with Ashley Dale, my friend and liaison. I look forward to a productive promotional partnership in the future. Next up is a Publishers Weekly event.
