“My consulting session with April was SO helpful to me and my creative business, who knew an hour could make such a difference. I’m more focused on my goals and how to achieve them. I recommend it to anyone who’s just starting or has an existing creative business. April Totally Rocks!” – Kristin Maynes

“I had the wonderful opportunity to work with April in four one-on-one sessions this past winter.  I can’t even begin to describe how much those four sessions have changed the scope and direction of my fledgling creative business.  Between her insightful questions, solid advice, strategic thinking, humor and positive attitude, April was able to bring my creative business to a new level.  But not only did she help me to improve my marketing and production, she also helped me to create a more sustainable lifestyle as a creative entrepreneur — not an easy balance to find!  I simply can’t say enough wonderful things about working with April!” -Adriana Willsie

“Sold 2 pieces immediately using your suggestions! TY.” -Lee Wolfe from One Clay Bead

“I love Blacksburg Belle, because it’s friendly and helpful. Human run with a side of tough love. Also, lots of videos.” -Danielle Spurge from The Merriweather Council

“I LOVE Blacksburg Belle, because you are encouraging yet you keep it real and you are always enthusiastic about helping us.” -Erin Giles from Elegant Girl

“One of the most inspiring entrepreneurial speakers I’ve heard in a long time. Incredibly knowledgeable and likable.” -Elizabeth Lewis

“Words can not express what your website has just done for me.” -Ashley Rector from Lovetosew.com

“I was so stinking inspired! Well, I mean, I AM so stinking inspired. I really needed it at that moment, too. Know the “6 Things to get done” technique that April was talking about? I did it yesterday and it was the most productive day that I’ve had, well, ever. And I sold FOUR things today (that’s a lot for me).” -Megan Van Sipe from Lilac Saloon
