About Michelle Buck - Tell the Trees

Turn Your Expertise into a Marketing Machine

You’ve got the knowledge. You’ve written the book. Now let’s get it in front of the readers who need it most.

I’m Michelle, and I help serious non-fiction authors cut through the marketing noise with professional services that actually work. No fluff, no overnight success promises—just strategic, results-driven support for authors who are ready to invest in their business.

Here’s the Thing About Non-Fiction Marketing

You didn’t write your book to let it collect digital dust. You have expertise that can transform lives, solve problems, or change perspectives. But somewhere between finishing your manuscript and figuring out how to market it, the overwhelm hits.

That’s where I come in.

After over a decade in marketing (two decades in digital), plus my own journey from corporate burnout to successful author entrepreneur, I’ve cracked the code on what actually moves the needle for non-fiction authors. Not the get-rich-quick schemes or cookie-cutter approaches—real strategies that work for real authors with real businesses.

What I Actually Do

Marketing Courses: Step-by-step training that turns marketing from mysterious to manageable. Perfect for authors who want to understand the “why” behind every strategy.

Professional Ebook Formatting: Your content deserves to look as professional as it sounds. Clean, readable formatting that makes your expertise shine.

Social Media Templates: Done-for-you content that positions you as the expert you are, without the time-suck of starting from scratch every day.

Who This Is For (And Who It’s Not)

This is for you if:

You’re serious about treating your book as part of your business
You’re ready to invest in professional services
You want marketing strategies, not magic tricks
You’re tired of DIY solutions that eat up your time

This isn’t for you if:

You’re looking for free solutions or shortcuts
You want someone else to do all the work while you sit back
You’re not ready to invest in your author business
You think marketing should be effortless

Why “Tell the Trees”?

Growing up, I found my voice sitting beneath towering trees, crafting stories and testing ideas. Those trees taught me something that shapes how I work with authors today: the strongest growth happens when you have deep roots and solid support.

Just like trees share resources through their root systems, successful authors understand that professional growth requires strategic investment and expert guidance. My job is to be part of your support system, providing the marketing expertise that lets your message reach the readers who need it most.
