Professional Author's Assistant
Peggy Peterson
What is a Professional Author's Assistant?
A professional author's assistant has received training that is designed for virtual assistants who want to work with authors. I possess the practical knowledge, skills, and resources needed to assist and guide authors in all stages of the publishing journey.
How can a professional author’s assistant help me,
the author?
I am a professional author’s assistant who works in collaborative relationships with authors and other professionals. I manage the administrative tasks, timeline, and budget so the author can focus on what only the author can do – write the book and successfully promote the book and get it to its maximum sales potential.
As a professional author's assistant, I am:
• Organized and skilled in working virtually
• A great communicator both in writing and verbally
• Committed to the goal
• Able to fill in the missing pieces
• Someone who takes initiative
• Someone who suggests resources
