I recently had the pleasure of having Joycelyn host my book tour from London to New York. Her contribution turned the entire event into a success. Organising a book tour across multiple locations like Bronxville, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, and the iconic New York Public Library in Manhattan is no small feat. Joycelyn handled it with such finesse and enthusiasm that it not only made the process seamless but also incredibly enjoyable.
Sparkling Sapphire added a sparkle that made all the difference. I was impressed with her organization and the number of people she liaised with to make my tour a success, all while I was still in London. On arrival, everything was prepared and my books were already on display in all of the libraries where I had my events. In addition to that, her services included providing a microphone and an amplifier to ensure that everyone in attendance could hear me clearly.  I wholeheartedly recommend Joycelyn for anyone looking to elevate their events. She is truly a gem who will bring brilliance and enthusiasm to any occasion.
