Story confidence - online PR course for beginners
PR for creative and wellbeing entrepreneurs
Nothing builds trust and credibility like getting featured in newspapers, magazines and online titles.
It gets people talking about your business when you’re not in the room. It attracts new clients. And it boosts your SEO!
PR isn’t just for big companies; anyone can learn how to craft a compelling story to build authority in the media. And the best bit? PR is free.
There are loads of media opportunities if you know where to look. And that’s where I come in.

Linda has secured us a range of fantastic PR opportunities, including interviews with BBC Radio York and national coverage in The Sun newspaper. We couldn’t have done this without Linda’s expert advice and in-depth knowledge of how the press works.”

“Linda demystified the complex world of PR.
She is incredibly well connected with editors. Within a day of submitting a pitch to the Yorkshire Post, I was scheduled for an interview. That led to a full feature article (with a front cover mention!). It was such an exhilarating experience, which wouldn't have happened without Linda's help. It not only gave my business incredible visibility, I gained a huge amount of confidence to reach out to editors.”
