Practical Support for Authors, Creators, and Small Businesses Who Need Things Done Right
I help independent authors, creators, and small business owners handle the technical, operational, and publishing work that slows them down, so they can focus on the work that actually matters.
Project-based, clearly scoped. Fair pricing.
No calls. No retainers. No unnecessary complexity.
Who This Is For
If you are doing real work and need reliable support, you are in the right place.
I work best with people who:
- Are publishing books, launching products, or running small businesses
- Need competent help, not hand-holding
- Value clarity, documentation, and follow-through
- Prefer written communication and clear expectations
If you have been thinking, “I just need someone capable to handle this,” that is usually a good sign we will work well together.
What I Help With
Publishing & Author Support
- Print and ebook formatting
- KDP setup and upload consulting
- Metadata, category, and keyword research
- Publishing troubleshooting and cleanup
Digital Operations & Setup
- WordPress setup, cleanup, and fixes
- Email platforms and basic automations
- Digital product setup and delivery systems
Project-Based Support
- Defined, one-off projects
- Mixed or custom support needs
- Overflow or cleanup work when things have gotten messy
If you are not sure where your need fits, that is normal. We will figure it out before anything begins.
How Pricing Works
All work is scoped and time-capped in advance so there are no surprises for either of us.
Projects are priced using a consistent $40/hour internal rate, but presented as a flat project price with a clear maximum agreed on before work begins.
Here is how that works in practice:
- We define the scope of the work up front
- I estimate the time required conservatively
- You receive a flat project price that represents the maximum cost
- If the work is completed in less time, great
- If the project reaches the agreed cap, work pauses and we check in before anything continues
There are no added fees, no unexpected overages, and no open-ended work.
Most projects fall into these general ranges:
- Small tasks or fixes (up to 2 hours): $75–$150
- Standard projects (up to 4–10 hours): $150–$400
- Larger or more complex projects: $400–$600
For projects with unclear scope, troubleshooting, or inherited systems, I may recommend a short discovery block first. This allows me to assess the situation and provide clear recommendations before moving forward.
If your budget is tight, let me know. I am often able to suggest a more efficient or scaled-down approach.
How I Work
- All communication is handled asynchronously via email or written project briefs
- Every project has a defined scope, timeline, and price
- No phone or video calls
- No rush, peak-time, or penalty pricing
This approach keeps work focused, documented, and efficient for everyone involved.
Why Clients Choose Me
- Experience working directly with independent authors and small teams
- Practical solutions instead of upsells or bloat
- Clear boundaries and realistic expectations
- A calm, capable presence when things feel overwhelming
You will always know what is being done, what it costs, and what comes next.
