Deadlines, platforms, inboxes, launch teams, newsletters, sales reports — the business of being an author never stops. I take it off your hands so you can go back to writing.
“You write the story. I handle everything else.”
Not a VA who picked up a checklist — a professional with two decades of rigour
I already know your world: KDP, Kobo, BookBub, Goodreads, agents, publishers
Your French translators, publishers and readers — managed in their language
Everything in writing. Everything documented. Nothing lost in a phone call
A generalist Virtual Assistant can manage a calendar. An Author PA understands your calendar — your publication deadlines, your ARC windows, your KDP launch slots, your editor handover dates.
I've spent five years working directly with indie authors and publishers. I know the platforms, the rhythms, the obligations, and the vocabulary. When you say "my BookBub Featured Deal just dropped," I know exactly what that means and what needs to happen next.
“The difference between a VA and an Author PA is the difference between someone who files your emails and someone who knows which email from your editor should never be filed.”
What makes my offer genuinely unique: I'm also your bilingual bridge into the French market. I manage your French-language publishers, translators, and press contacts — in French — so nothing falls through the gap between languages.
Any VA can tick boxes. What you're actually hiring when you work with me is a rare combination that doesn't exist elsewhere: two decades of administrative precision, deep literary knowledge, and a native French speaker who understands your market.
I read your genre. I understand your contracts, your editorial calendar, your author obligations — not as tasks, but as context.
Publisher correspondence, translator coordination, French press outreach — handled in French, without you having to ask twice or translate anything.
20 years of invoicing, reporting, and document management. Deadlines kept. Files found. Nothing left in a draft folder for three weeks.
I write your newsletters, your back cover copy, your press releases — with a writer's ear, not a template-filler's hands.
No calls, no voice messages. Every decision documented. You always have a full paper trail — essential when working with publishers and agents.
Your manuscripts, your contracts, your royalty figures — handled with the discretion of a professional who has been trusted with sensitive files for twenty years.
Ideal to try the service or for punctual tasks. Billed by the task.
Regular admin support for active authors. Enough for steady-state management.
Complete admin + newsletter + social media. The real author PA experience.
Everything included, plus full management of your French market presence — in French.
All packages include an onboarding call and a 30-day notice period. Custom packages available on request.
We talk about your workflow, your pain points, and what you need taken off your plate.
I get access to your tools, accounts and files — all in writing, all documented.
I start with the most urgent tasks and establish recurring systems.
Weekly status update. You write. I handle the rest.
