Indie publishing is a double-edged sword.
The author maintains creative license over their books, giving them complete control over their business. The challenge then becomes time management. Time is a commodity that cannot be reproduced; therefore, the constant weight of responsibility pulls the author away from the most necessary element —writing. I can partner with and assist you in publishing your books from start to finish.
Is not only to free your time to write, but also to help optimize your business.
Consistency, details, and branding all matter a great deal in the long term success of your business. Fully optimizing takes time and commitment. Most of these items are not self-sustaining indefinitely. They must be monitored, tweaked, and updated as information changes.
The biggest factor for the relationship between the author and myself is communication.
While it’s completely logical for an author to be out of touch with the world when deep into a project, regular correspondence is a necessity. I'm here to filter the many voices into just one.
I’m not an assistant. My skills and level of responsibility go far beyond that role.
I’m a business manager working with full-time authors who need a strategic partner to optimize operations and keep things running smoothly—so they can focus on writing.
As an independent contractor, our relationship is built on collaboration. I don’t work for you; I work with you. Clear, candid communication is essential for us to operate at full potential.
If you're ready to invest in your author career, and need a strategic partner to free up your time and mental bandwidth, let’s set up a discovery call. The cost is $200, and we'll spend an hour exploring your goals and business needs. I’d love to show you how I can help manage, optimize, and support your growth.
Email me, and let’s schedule a time to talk.
I can help take your work from manuscript to published book.
My skills go far beyond a simple list, but here are just some of the areas I can manage for you:
Clients and myself discuss and cultivate a plan based on individual needs. This list is not complete.
To maximize my time and effectiveness, there are a few services I do not offer:
Not every author is in the position to hire a full time business manager, and my schedule is limited for full time clients.
If you don’t currently need a full-time business manager but could use expert guidance, I offer tailored coaching packages. After a discovery call, we’ll determine the best strategy to support your goals with a plan customized to your needs.
Want a full X-ray of your author business? With a decade of experience in indie publishing and author coaching, I’ll analyze your setup, identify weak points, and provide strategic advice to optimize, polish, and streamline your operations for long-term success.
You'll receive a comprehensive business audit, a detailed summary of insights and action steps, and a one-on-one strategy session to discuss the findings. This can be a one-time deep dive or the foundation for ongoing coaching, depending on your needs. Contact me for pricing.
Every author has different needs, so let's create a plan that works for you.
Second to "What does a business manager do?", the next biggest question I receive is, "How much do you charge full time clients?"
Managing an author's business is not a one size fits all situation. Each client I work with has a different set of needs. Freeing up your time is an investment in your business as for every new book you write, you add the potential for more income.
My retainers are 4 figures per month and based on individual needs. This level of support is for established authors looking to use targeted delegation to reach the next level.
During a discovery call, we'll chat about your current needs and long term goals. I'll then take time to work up a package proposal that meets your specific needs.
