How can The Literary Assistant help you?
Hourly Packages -
Need help with all the little things that you are trying to take care of outside of writing? Hourly packages start at a minimum of 5 hours for $200. These packages are great for small projects or reoccuring monthly tasks. These hours can also be perfect for check in calls if you are looking for guidance or if you need to be help accountable for deadlines.
She took so much pressure off of me with my duties to a list-aiming box set, which was dragging me under. When I needed an ARC team arranged and managed, I knew I could count on Melissa to organize it all. She saves me so much time by finding me the best Bookfunnel promos to join, and when a good one isn’t available, she creates one for me. Newsletter swaps, Facebook groups, social media and so much more, these tasks not only bring me, new readers, they free me up to get more writing done.
I couldn’t ask for more in a PA.
Andie Fenichel, historical/paranormal/contemporary romance
