Marketing Team
Cassie Smith
Marketing Consultant
Joining the Tellwell team, after 5 years of developing engagement strategies for educational institutions, Cassie is an inveterate, and enthusiastic, learner. Supporting Tellwell authors in sharing their newly-published books throughout a variety of mediums, she enjoys the opportunity to adapt and customize these strategies for each author she works with.
In her out of office hours, she is an avid outdoor devotee, exploring the Canadian wilderness as much as she can.
Aside from reading, her favorite rainy day activity is finding the most derelict item in an antique shop, taking it home, and bringing it back to life – it usually makes for a really good story.

Katie Hennessey
Tellwell Marketing Consultant
Katie’s marketing experience began during her time working for an international real estate company, but her love for reading started from a young age. Her focus and specialty is in all things children’s literature; although she works with all genres. She enjoys researching new book trends, creating custom materials, and educating authors about all the extraordinary resources available to them. Katie holds an English Literature degree with a minor in Political Science from The University of Victoria.
Katie is a self-proclaimed bibliophile, so when she is not aiding authors at Tellwell, she is likely curled up in one of her favourite book nooks – reading, or rereading, a good book series and she will never turn down a games night.
