Book marketing is a tireless job. Success comes from a whole lot of strategy… and a little bit of book marketing magic. Publishing your book is a magical moment – one you will never forget, but the reality of publishing a book is that your hard work has just begun. If you haven’t already done so, you must now dive into the world of marketing and self-promotion. If you’ve been published a while, you know that marketing your book, and brand, is this never-ending and absolutely necessary cycle that you need to tend to. Every. Single. Day. Why? Because your book is one in millions, hundreds of millions, and if you aren’t actively seeking out your readers every day, you can bet the thirty-two other authors that published their books at the exact same moment are.
The good news? We can totally help you. In any stage, in almost every way, we can help. Experienced authors, you know we speak the truth, and you’re here because you need a hand with managing it all. After all, you have that next book and the one after that to pen, right? You need a partner to take over some of your marketing responsibilities so that you can go write more. We understand you could do any of this on your own if you had more time, or a clone. Since you don’t, let us help.
No buying random packages or trying to think about what you might need last-minute for a new release. We assign you your very own assistant who works with you every week on getting you closer to your goals. On your schedule and on your budget, and your hours never expire. So, if you need some time away from promotion, your assistant is on stand-by for when you’re ready to get back to work.
Below are some of the most popular services our authors work with our authors on. These are our “tip of the iceberg” services of what we can do together. We prefer hopping on a consult with you to iron out the right plan with the right goals for your brand and your marketing. Good marketing isn’t cheap (and it shouldn’t be) we know, but we promise to deliver our very best for every cent you spend with us.
So, whether you’re a first-time author with your debut novel or a seasoned author looking for more writing time, we’ve got great ways to work harder and smarter for you.

So how does hiring an assistant work?
Depending on your budget, you buy a block of hours, then work with your assistant one-on-one on many of the above (or anything we didn’t mention) tasks until the hours run out. Your assistant will also act as coordinator and project manager when you need services from our other assistants, as our consultants and specialists may come on from time to time to help with your overall goals and needs. We’re a team effort here at Aurora and you get the best from every assistant we employ.
You and your assistant will use a free online collaboration tool when working together, so even if you don’t talk to your assistant every day, you’ll know exactly what tasks are being worked on and when. Hours never expire, and you can choose to buy more whenever you’d like.
Our services are $50 an hour and gives you access to the whole team. If you purchase 10 hours or more you receive a discounted rate of $40 an hour.
Schedule your free consult so we can determine what assistant would fit you best!
