Meet the heart behind Author Experiences

Your book deserves more than a Buy Now button.

You poured your ideas, experience, stories, and probably more than a few late nights into your book.

But when it is time to share that book online, all of that heart is often reduced to a cover image, a short description, a handful of reviews, and a Buy Now button.

I knew there had to be a better way.

Author Experiences was created to help people experience the heart of your book before they ever turn the first page.

Why I created Author Experiences

Hi, I'm Wendi McNeill.

For more than 24 years, I have helped speakers, authors, coaches, and experts take what they know and present it in a way that people can understand, connect with, and act on.

Through Charli Jane Speakers, I have watched incredibly talented people struggle to communicate the full value of their work online.

They had the experience. They had the message. They had the book.

But everything that made their work meaningful was scattered across websites, social media posts, videos, podcast interviews, media kits, and sales pages.

The pieces were there. They simply were not working together.

That is why I created Author Experiences.

An Author Experience brings your book, your story, your voice, your videos, your resources, and your purchase links together in one polished, interactive destination.

It gives readers a place to explore.
It gives podcast hosts and event planners a better way to discover you.
And it gives your book a front door that feels worthy of everything you put into it.
Your book is more than a product

A book can start a conversation.

It can introduce someone to a new idea, help them feel understood, change the way they see a problem, or show them what is possible.

For many authors, the book is also the doorway to something bigger. Your Author Experience helps people see those possibilities.

Instead of simply telling visitors what your book is about, we invite them into its world.

A little more about me

Family, faith, and a lot of heart.

Family and faith are at the center of my life, and I believe deeply in helping people use what they have been given to make a meaningful difference.

I founded Charli Jane Speakers in 2002 and have spent more than two decades helping experts get found, get booked, and build businesses around what they know.

I am not a big-agency person who hands your story to a stranger.

I care about the little things.

The words that sound like you. The moments readers should not miss. The feeling you want someone to have when they discover your book.

That personal approach is woven into every Author Experience I create.

What it's like to work with me

You do not need to arrive with everything perfectly organized.

Step 01

You share what you have

Send the materials you already have, in whatever shape they are in.

Book coverDescriptionAuthor bioPhotosVideosInterviewsReviewsLinksResources
Step 02

I find the story

I look for the story connecting all those pieces, and what you want readers to do next.

Step 03

I design and build

An experience built around your book and your voice. Not a cookie-cutter book page, but a guided, shareable destination.

It helps people

  • Discover what makes your book different
  • Understand who it is for
  • Meet the person behind the message
  • Explore your ideas and resources
  • Watch, listen, click, and interact
  • Purchase the book or take the next step
Built with care

Designed around your story.

Your book has its own personality, audience, and purpose. Your Author Experience should too. That is why every experience begins with the book itself.

Some books are deeply personal.
Stories that need room to breathe.
Some are practical and instructional.
Ideas readers want to put to work.
Some open bigger doors.
To speaking, consulting, community, or a larger body of work.

We are not squeezing your story into a generic template.
We are building a place where your readers can step closer.

Let's begin

Let's give your book the experience it deserves.

You have already done the hard part. You wrote the book. Now let's create a beautiful, engaging way for people to discover it, connect with it, and take the next step.
