Barbara Grassey

Barbara Grassey is a professional writer, speaker, marketing consultant, and... former stand up comic. She’s jumped out of airplanes, touched a whale in the wild, and sailed internationally on cruise ships.

For the past 15 years, she has written (and ghostwritten) over 60 books, eBooks, courses, and manuals for both national and local speakers, coaches, and consultants. In that time she has seen many good books fall by the wayside: Writing a book is one challenge; marketing the book is a full-time job in itself. That is why she teaches business authors how to use their book as a marketing tool, not an end product.

Barbara speaks to national audiences on marketing and business book publishing. She is the former co-host of Let’s Talk Real Estate and The Small Business Round Table, both call-in radio talk shows. She has appeared on local (Tampa area) talk shows and has been interviewed by print, radio and television media. Barbara received her B.A. in English from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. She currently resides in Punta Gorda, Florida.
