Lee Hyat, Graphic Designer
Working with Mia on my website was such a helpful experience. She took the time to understand my work, my voice, and what I wanted the site to feel like, then helped me find the words and direction to bring it all together. Her guidance with both the website copy and overall strategy made the process feel much less overwhelming, and I really appreciated how thoughtful she was about keeping everything true to me and my business. I’m so happy with how the site came together and grateful to have had her help along the way.

Mia's work is consistent, personalized, and creative. She adapts my ideas to fit the changing market, and I have been delighted with the results! She creates marketing products that fit my voice and brand so well -- but with way better graphic design!

Julie Sturgeon, Founder/CEO
Mia has a rare ability to capture the pulse of a community and turn it into meaningful, consistent engagement. She reimagined our strategy and paid ads content in a one-off campaign project to speak directly to what our freelancers value most. The result? We saw higher engagement, better retention, and a brand voice that finally feels like us! Her ideas and willingness to collaborate to meet our needs were exactly what we needed.

Working with Mia has been one of the best investments I've made in my author career. She doesn't just complete projects—she takes the time to understand my books, my brand, and my goals, then creates marketing materials that truly reflect who I am as an author. From my website and newsletters to bookmarks, stickers, and launch planning, she's been an invaluable partner. Mia is organized, creative, responsive, and consistently goes above and beyond. I couldn't recommend 22 Lemons Communications more highly.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mia Gleason for quite a while on author promotions and marketing, so when it was time to bring my website into the modern world, I knew exactly who to ask. Mia more than exceeded my expectations. My website is gorgeous—fresh, polished, easy to navigate, and completely me. Everyone who sees it comments on how beautiful it is.
Mia has a wonderful eye for design, but just as important, she listens. She understood what I wanted, even when I wasn’t quite sure how to explain it, and turned those ideas into something better than I imagined.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mia to any author or small business owner looking for someone creative, reliable, and genuinely invested in making their online presence shine.

Leigh Ann Edwards, Romantasy Author
I truly can’t say enough good things about Mia Gleason. She has completely transformed and rebranded my website, and I am thrilled with what an amazing job she continues to do. I have already seen increased engagement on the site.
Mia’s experience in marketing allows her to present numerous creative ideas and strategies. I especially appreciate how supportive and encouraging she is while still being honest and straightforward about what works best. I am grateful to have her on my team and would highly recommend anyone looking for a marketing specialist or website designer to contact Mia.
Our Top FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Great question! I really wanted to find a way to link my business back to my family. My son’s birth year is 2022 and he’s the 22nd great-grandson on my mother’s side so my grandmother calls him “22”. I also have twin brothers so the twin 2’s allowed me to call back to them as well.
As for the lemons side of “22 Lemons”, Lemons symbolize freshness, positivity, optimism, and new beginnings. However, lemons are a symbol of bittersweetness, representing life's challenges alongside its joys. I wanted to create a space where people could turn their “when life gives you lemons” situations into positive action!

Yes! We offer both one-time projects and ongoing marketing support, because every author needs something a little different. You can bring us in for a focused project like a book launch plan, website refresh, or marketing audit, or keep us in your corner with monthly support for newsletters, blogs, social media, website updates, launches, and more.

We’re a little less traditional agency and a lot more creative partner. 22 Lemons understands that marketing a book is different from marketing just about anything else, and every author brings their own voice, readers, budget, and publishing goals to the table. We take the time to learn your books and your brand so the marketing actually feels like you. You’ll get thoughtful strategy, hands-on support, honest conversations, and fresh ideas without a one-size-fits-all approach or a whole lot of marketing jargon.
-
We support social media, but we don’t currently manage or post directly to our authors’ accounts. Instead, we help take the creative heavy lifting off your plate by developing social media strategies and content plans, creating branded graphics, editing short-form videos and reels, and helping you figure out what to post and when. You keep control of your platforms and community, while we help make showing up consistently a whole lot easier.
-
Absolutely! We can help with everything from a few pages that need a fresh squeeze to a full author website rewrite.

The goal is always to capture your unique author voice while creating clear, engaging copy that helps readers discover your books, stick around, and feel connected to you.
