Author’s Assistant Day
Author’s Assistant Day – Thursday – January 26, 2012
From the 2011 Author’s Assistant Day:
“I just wanted to thank you for the informative sessions today! I am currently in the training program and learned quite a bit from all the experts about what it is like to be an author’s assistant. I’m very excited to finish up and get my certification.” –Sue Amdur-Coburn
The seminar was great! Thank you for a most informative day. I’m just starting my practice, and I am very interested in working with authors. It was very helpful and encouraging to me.” –Susan Tulini
In 2010, 2 million books were published world-wide. End to end, those books would go from Los Angeles to New York. Those are just the new books!
Authors make a great niche. The work is fun and the skills to do them are high-value. The author market includes aspiring authors, authors and small publishers.
This year we are going to focus on increasing your confidence and helping you find new clients. So if you don’t have all the clients you want or are having trouble finding clients with the budget to hire you, this is the day for you!
Sell more services to your clients – services that they need but might not know you can provide. One of the best ways to add profits to your practice is to add services to your current clients need, like the services authors and authors/publishers ask for most. Many author’s assistants start with just providing author-related services and end up with the entire virtual account.
