How it Started

Lifelong friends Amanda Bernardi and Meredith Wilson joined forces after Meredith started her own business, The Modern Wingwoman, to help small businesses with communications, marketing, and administrative tasks.

With over twenty years experience in public relations and social media strategy, Amanda quickly rose in the ranks to become a top selling nonfiction literary agent in the book publishing realm. After a less than stellar personal experience as an author and noticing publishers often fall short when it comes to effective promotional plans for authors, Amanda set out to improve the publishing process for her clients and forged a new path for book publicity.

Amanda hired The Modern Wingwoman to coordinate book tours, design creative assets, and execute outreach efforts for her clients. After several successful launches where Meredith stepped in to make magic happen, both women knew they were on to something.

Meredith found joy in the work she was doing for Amanda and her clients, which ignited a passion for book publicity. As we launched into 2026, Meredith decided to focus more on what brings her energy, and after an electric conversation with Amanda, The Literary Launch was born.
