Laura Denktash is a passionate serial entrepreneur. A writer with 16 years of experience and newly acquired internet marketing skills, Laura is able to offer her clients cutting-edge marketing methods. She quickly assesses the best plan of action, stressing the creation of a strong marketing campaign individually designed for author and book—from the time the book idea is conceived.

She works with her clients to create their personal brand, emphasizing their uniqueness. The focus is target and niche marketing. She teaches her clients how to utilize all the current methods of internet and social media marketing. She helps them identify their customer, build relationships, and begin marketing as they write. This helps to establish the necessary “author’s platform,” a key ingredient for success.

Her book, “The Rose Cookbook – A Treasury of Rose Recipes from Around the World,” has been well received by rose circles. She is currently marketing the book online at her website: http://www.therosediva.com/, and through social media, and speaking engagements at American Rose Society chapter meetings and district conventions.

With a background as a technical writer and expertise in quality assurance, procedural, and business systems writing, she realized a documented system for cookbook writing was in order. She determined a need for such a system when self-publishing her own cookbook in 2007. Her philosophy of approaching a book like a project from the start, with a schedule and milestones, removes the chaos out of any book writing project.

Her new system, “The 7 Secrets of a Successful Self-Published Cookbook” launched in September 2009, and is designed for authors who have decided self-publishing to be their quickest route to creating a cookbook. She now has enthusiastic cookbook writing clients in the US, and as far away as Nepal and Sweden. First-time writers can benefit from her system and avoid hours of wasted time. By shortening the learning curve, Laura ensures the authors she works with spend their time creating their book, not figuring out how to do things.

Her business writing experience has led her to consulting positions in the aerospace, semi-conductor, world-wide shipping, manufacturing, and construction industries. She has served as an examiner for the California Council for Excellence, a state-level agency for the promotion of the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. In 2006 she submitted a written application for her company for the California version, the CAPE Award. Her efforts were rewarded with the prestigious Prospector Award. She has appeared on local television shows demonstrating how to cook with roses, and is a popular guest for radio and teleseminars. Her creativity, enthusiasm, and strong commitment to quality are unwavering. Visit her blog lauradenktash.com
