Services

Everything that keeps you from writing — handled

Work with me on one piece or the whole publishing journey. Every service is flexible, author-first, and built to give you your time back.

What I help with

Pick one thing, or hand off the lot

Author Assistant

The recurring behind-the-scenes work that fills your week: newsletter writing and sends, social media, ARC team wrangling, newsletter swaps and promos, release-day logistics, and the hundred small tasks in between. I manage it so your energy goes to the page, not the to-do list.

Editing & Formatting

Support through every stage of polishing your manuscript — from content and developmental editing to copy editing and careful proofreading — finished with professional print and ebook formatting so your book looks as good as it reads.

Publishing Support

Self-publishing shouldn’t feel impossible. I help with covers, file uploads, metadata and keywords, and launch marketing — hands-on guidance so you’re never navigating a new platform or deadline on your own.

Anthologies & Shared Worlds

Love writing inside a creative framework? I coordinate anthology and shared-world projects — designed to spark inspiration across genres, build community, and introduce your writing to a whole new set of readers.

Book Bible & Audio Proofing

Keep your series airtight. I build detailed series bibles that track characters, timelines, and continuity, and provide audiobook proofing that catches mismatches and errors — protecting your story and freeing up your time.

Book Boxes

Curated surprise boxes that put your book in readers’ hands — a hand-picked indie read plus bookish extras. A warm, tangible way to connect with your audience. See the boxes →

The Indie Author’s Advocate Publishing

Ready to be published — not just supported?

Beyond helping you self-publish, I publish indie authors directly. The Indie Author’s Advocate Publishing is full-service — editing, cover, formatting, and release, all handled — so your book reaches readers with a real team behind it while you keep earning royalties on every sale.

Submissions are open across every genre — and your manuscript doesn’t have to be polished or even finished. Send the full draft you have, get in touch, and I’ll tell you exactly what to send next.

How it works

Simple to start, easy to run

1

Tell me what’s on your plate

We start with a relaxed, no-pressure conversation about where your time is disappearing and what’s weighing you down.

2

We map the hand-off

Together we decide what to take off your plate first, how we’ll work, and what a win looks like for you.

3

I run with it

You approve the plan, I handle the work and keep you in the loop — without the constant back-and-forth.

4

You get back to writing

The busywork stays off your desk, so your hours go to the page and your next release.

Who this is for

Built for working indie authors

Buried in admin

You spend more time on the business of publishing than on the writing that started it all.

Rapid-release & series authors

You’re publishing fast and need the recurring work handled so your pace never breaks.

Newer to self-publishing

You want a steady, experienced hand beside you instead of figuring it all out alone.

Ready to delegate

You’ve grown as far as your own hours allow, and it’s time to hand the rest off.

Common questions

Good to know

Do I have to hand off everything, or can you help with just one thing?

Either. Bring me a single recurring task or the whole publishing journey — we’ll start wherever takes the most off your shoulders.

Do you work in fixed packages?

No rigid tiers. Every author’s plate looks different, so we scope the work to what you actually need after we talk — you’re never paying for boxes you don’t want.

What genres do you work with?

All of them — sweet romance through spicy, mystery, fantasy, nonfiction, and everything adjacent. No judgment, ever.

What stage do I need to be at?

Any stage. Whether you’re prepping your very first release or managing a deep backlist, there’s a place to start.

Can you take over something that’s already a bit of a mess?

Absolutely. Untangling half-finished systems and overflowing inboxes is part of the job — you don’t need to tidy up before we talk.

How do we get started?

Send a note through the contact page and we’ll set up a quick chat to figure out the first hand-off.

Not sure where to start?

Tell me what’s on your plate. We’ll figure out what to hand off first.
