Need help tackling a specific task or short-term project? This option is ideal for authors who don't need ongoing support but want professional assistance getting something done. You purchase hours upfront, and we work together until the project is complete.
How it works:
- Purchase a minimum of 3 hours in advance
- Tell me what you need — I'll assess the scope and confirm estimated hours
- If your project requires more time than initially purchased, additional hours can be added as needed
- No ongoing commitment — hours must be used within 30 days
- Newsletter setup or cleanup
- Research tasks (comp titles, promo sites, newsletter swaps)
- Short-term launch prep
Monthly RetainerStarting at $500/month (10 hours) — billed monthly in advance at $50/hour. 3-month minimum agreement.
For authors who want a dependable partner in their corner. Retainer clients receive priority scheduling, faster turnaround times, and guaranteed availability each month. Think of it as having a dedicated VA who already knows your books, your brand, and your goals.
How it works:
- 10 hours per month minimum (additional hours available at $50/hour)
- Priority access — your tasks go to the top of my queue
- Bi-weekly or weekly check-in to review progress and plan upcoming priorities
- Authors in active launch seasons
- Series writers managing multiple books, platforms, and deadlines
- Authors who want consistent newsletter, website, Pinterest, blog support
- Those who value having someone already familiar with their backlist and brand
A couple of things to consider:
- Roll-over policy — Decide whether unused hours expire at month's end or roll over. Rolling over is more client-friendly, but expiring protects your time. Either way, make it explicit.
- 3-month minimum — You may want to specify whether this is paid upfront or month-to-month with a 3-month commitment.
- Additional hours — Worth clarifying whether extra hours beyond the 10 are billed at the same $50 rate or offered at a slight discount as a retainer perk.
