Shark Marketing Co. CEO Shari Stauch has been involved in publishing, marketing and PR for 30 years. She is the co-creator of Pool & Billiard Magazine, celebrating 27 years as the sport’s oldest monthly magazine. In 2004 she retired from the Women’s Pro Billiard Tour after a 20 year career as a top player and marketer/co-creator of the tour (inducted into the WPBA Hall of Fame in 2007) to pursue development of Shark Marketing Co. and serve a growing community of writers and authors.

Stauch and team member Brenda McClain produced the South Carolina Writer’s Conference in 2004, setting new attendance/income records. As a board member of Charleston’s Center for Women, she is a moderator for the Center’s Writer Series, and conducts seminars for the Center on website marketing and image branding.

In 2008, Stauch signed on as Co-Director of Programming for Words & Music: A Literary Feast in New Orleans, and worked with team member Kendra Haskins to re-launch the organization’s website. The elite writers conference drew international attention with over three dozen speakers, including the legendary Ted Turner, and Michael Lang, creator behind the Woodstock music festival. In 2009 the festival featured author Dennis Lehane and also broke new attendance records, featuring the nation’s best and brightest agents and editors as well as promising authors from around the globe.

Stauch continues to work with the Pirate’s Alley Faulkner Society as well as with agents, editors, writers and aspiring authors throughout the U.S., using her marketing and PR talents to help authors broaden their audiences, and publishers realize greater sales potential.

Stauch is a certified executive coach, an award-winning essayist and fiction writer, and author of three non-fiction books, with a fourth under contract with publisher Human Kinetics for a 2010 fall release (Pool Players Edge, 2nd edition). She is working on completion of a novel set in her hometown of Chicago, IL.
