Hello! I'm Melanie 'Babydoll' Wallace, the author of My Foundation. I was struggling to get my book out and needed help. Another author suggested that I contact Sophia Adams Project Manager and it has been a game changer. The team takes care of all the tedious task and I can now focus on me and my events. If you want a solid foundation, you should definitely contact her.

Sophia Adams, Project Manager with KDP was the mind behind my social media marketing campaign. She was there and helped me upload the book on Amazon, Instagram, Facebook, and X. She gave me her time, creativity, and some valuable advice. I will recommend her to any author. She knows the publishing industry and know how to bring you closer to success.

My experience with Kinetic Digital Publishers has been rewarding. This has especially been so with Dexter Mason, a unique talented individual who I feel is one of the many reasons this company has an A rating. He is passionate at what he does, customer focused and friendly. Hats off to Dexter!
