WHAT IT IS
Put our skilled team of marketing assistants to work on your books! Each of our five available PAs has been working with Melissa Storm for at least one year and knows the book business inside-out. Rather than hire one, you'll get the benefit of a full team–each with different specialties–working on your behalf.
Worried about delegating? We can show you how it's done, and give you the confidence you need to stop worrying about how everything is going to get done–freeing you up to focus on getting those words written. Let it be our job to get “that other stuff” done. It's what we love to do! Scroll down to see what we can do and to start work with our amazing team today!
WHAT IT COSTS
Book 10 hours for $500.
Book 20 hours for $850.
