A Virtual Author’s Assistant and

Your best-kept secret…

Are you an author who spends more time on your constantly growing to-do list than doing what you love - actually writing?

You don’t have to balance it all.

Claire Taylor, author and owner of FFS Media

“Knowing I have Emily’s highly competent support has allowed me to think bigger and grow my business. When I hand off tasks and projects to her, I know they’ll be completed on time and done well. The peace of mind that working with Emily gives me is invaluable.”

“I've enjoyed working with Emily. She's easy to work with, is quick to respond, and is doing a great job of creating ads for me. I can certainly recommend using her for her thoroughness and creativity. Thanks, Emily!!”

Judith Keim, USA Today Best-Selling Author

“The Author Elf is a go-to if you’re looking for an author assistant. She has extensive knowledge of indie author platforms and social media. She is prompt and reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile. I can't imagine navigating my writing career without her support.”

Hannah Byron, Historical Fiction Author

Why do you need an Author’s Assistant?

  • You didn’t become a writer to spend the majority of your time on administrative tasks.

    Are you tired of the endless struggle to finish your to-do list? Do you ever just wish there were more hours in a day? With an author’s assistant, you can consider your wish granted. Let's work together to help you reclaim your time and achieve your writing goals.

  • Avoid burnout when there is too much on your plate. With an author’s assistant, you can nurture your creativity so that you are focused and inspired when it’s time to sit down and write. An assistant is the perfect troubleshooter, problem-solver, and a constant source of support.

  • Time is the most valuable currency there is. With an author’s assistant, you will not only have more time to write, but you will have time for life. Let an assistant take on some of your workload and allow yourself to spend your time the way you decide.
