For the last ten years, Brennan Dunn has been building “email-first” businesses. He owns and manages two companies: RightMessage, a software company that builds personalized marketing software, and Double Your Freelancing, an online community offering courses, events, and other resources to 60,000+ freelancers and agencies.
Despite studying Western literature and philosophy at St. John’s College, Dunn ended up writing code professionally in his twenties before founding Double Your Freelancing. This combination of liberal arts, software development, and entrepreneurship led him toward helping others achieve their own entrepreneurial visions by improving the way they communicate with customers. He started his second business, RightMessage, to make personalization accessible to businesses of any size—not just tech giants like Amazon. Since then, he’s been invited to speak and keynote at marketing and business conferences around the world and to be interviewed on dozens of podcasts, websites, and industry publications. Judging from the enthusiastic response from entrepreneurs and small businesses, RightMessage sent the right message. He currently splits his time between Northern Virginia and the midlands of England.
Jennifer Dunne writes erotic romance novels and novellas for Ellora’s Cave—including “Dancing in the Dark” in the anthology Party Favors, featuring a heroine obsessed with Julian McMahon’s portrayal of Cole Turner—and fantasy and science fiction novels for Cerridwen Press. She is a three-time EPPIE award winner and has been nominated for the PRISM, Sapphire, Pearl and many other awards not named after sparkly jewels. Visit her Web site at www.jenniferdunne.com.

Eventually she got a college degree (wildlife illustration) and had grand adventures on horseback in the Appalachians before ending up in the Southwestern high country with her laptop, dogs, horse and uncontrollable imagination.
