Welcome, Hajni Blasko!

I'm the creator of Substance Books Inc., Book Publicity Genie, Eco-Books, Authors' Web Design and Top Site Makeover and the damsel responsible for designing, programming and pampering these sites. I work as an Online Book Publicist and Search Engine Marketing Specialist offering my services to Authors and Publishers.

All my training and experience are focused around providing help and assistance to authors in order to increase their online exposure. I am a great believer in the power of networking through Web environments and Social Media Marketing catering to their targeted audience. Learning through change has always been the direction of Substance Books and its staff.

As an Online Publicist I don't get out much, nevertheless;
I conducted workshops at BookExpo America, 2005, 2006 and 2007 on Search Engine Optimization and Online Book Publicity.
I conducted a lecture and panel periods at the Association of English Language Authors of Quebec on Online Book Publicity.
I wrote number of articles for various industry related newsletters, blogs and publications.

I consider myself an Organic Entrepreneur. My team and I are motivated less by just the bottom line and more by honoring the need for authenticity and integrity.
My vision of the future includes a happy and healthy family, a small vineyard in Europe, a cleaner planet, crazily entertaining friends and satisfied clients.
My everyday heroes are: Shirley Cheng / Andrew Chak / Jacob Nielsen / Jordy Savall and the dog who adapted 6 kittens.

I live in Montréal, Quebec. I am passionate about my community, literature, early music, Search Engines and Social Media Marketing. As you can tell, I am quite content with what I do and wouldn't change a thing.
Wishing you the same.
