VA Training
Become an author's assistant

AU$497

Are you ready to add publishing assistance to your VA skills?

Last year 2.2 million books were published! As authors gain traction with their writing and sales, they start looking to outsource the type of work that virtual assistants, graphic designers, and marketers are brilliant at doing.

But authors are looking for a special type of assistant:

✅ “…good Virtual Assistants who are used to working with Authors.”

✅ “Someone who can listen and learn.”

✅ “As a designer, I have author clients seeking help setting up and running their online marketing. I’d love to have a list of VAs who specialise in publishing so I can refer them on.”

Not:

❎ “One VA I spoke to didn’t want to hear anything about my business. Apparently she knows much better with no books than someone who’s been publishing for years.”

❎ “The difficulty is finding VAs who know anything about book promotion.”

❎ “Just sacked my third VA for not knowing how the book buying system works and being too arrogant to learn.”

YOU can help good authors publish better books

Would you like to learn the admin side of publishing from someone who is not just an author, but also an editor, a publisher, and a writing coach?

I can show you how every part of the process works, so that you can be that VA who knows how to work with authors, who has a good overview of the publishing industry, and who understands book promotion and the industry-specific buying system.

You’ll be able to begin offering a range of author assistance packages from the very first module. AND: discover the open source and free software I use to publish on a tiny budget. You can offer services with almost zero monthly outlay other than what you already have on your computer!

If you love books and all things publishing, get involved in this fascinating and creative arena today!

Hello

I’m Elle Carter Neal, and I’ve edited over two million words in the course of nearly fifteen years in this industry. I’ve also published five books of my own so far, and I’ve been a ghostwriter on numerous projects.

I’ve made tons of mistakes over the years and learnt a lot of what I know the hard way – I want you to be able to take a shortcut and save yourself time and money so that your book can begin to work for you as soon as possible.

Yes! I want to write a book!

 

Fully Booked is revolutionary.

It’s a multi-part course, designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills to make publishing a part of your business. It’s your investment in yourself.

It is NOT a “done-for-you” service, where you can end up forking out thousands each time you have a book to publish. Learn the process once, and apply it again and again. Discover what you enjoy doing yourself, and what you prefer to outsource.

Best of all, Fully Booked is compatible with both traditional and self-publishing options.

There are no other course packages like Fully Booked.

Start where you are in your publishing journey.

Other courses will herd you along a set pathway, where you have to complete each module in turn before moving on to the next. Fully Booked takes you on an interactive journey.

With Fully Booked, there is no waiting for “modules” to unlock. You can even choose to select and pay for only the stages you need to learn, when you’re ready to start studying – a really budget-friendly option.

 

Fully Booked is complete.

You can learn to implement every step of the publishing process in one course package. Unlike other courses that only cover one or two parts, you’re not left in the lurch having to go back to Google to work out the next steps.  
The complete Fully Booked system is still in development, but in the meantime you can write your book with the help and support of an experienced developmental editor. Get extra perks as a Legacy Student!

Yes! I need this!

Testimonials from editing clients and students

“I can’t believe how helpful it is to have my work picked apart the way you’ve done it. What I learned from your coaching was just as valuable as the hundreds of dollars I spent on “How-To” books on writing.

“It’s one thing to review the examples from real world examples of literature in those books, but it’s entirely different and much more helpful to have the weaknesses of my own writing shown to me. I’m really glad I chose to use your service.”

Paul Perron ~

Key by Kylie Leane“Without my editor I would never have come this far. This story would not be what it is without the marvelous input and amazing work of Elle Neal. I am so grateful for her insights and wise reflections. I once feared my dyslexia, but thanks to Elle that fear crumbled. She made me believe that I am capable of great things.  Thanks so, so much for the time you gave me, and the gift of your skills.”

Kylie Leane, author of The Chronicles of the Children series ~

The Lost Explorer by Michael Woods“I am immensely grateful to you for the good, solid advice you have given. You understood perfectly the problem I’m having… I’m considering all the possibilities you suggested.

“Your comments concerning the prologue are spot on and easily put right; yet I would never, never have seen it had you not pointed it out. Thanks.

“Your ability to isolate the pivotal points of the novel and show how they can be improved is nothing short of astonishing.”

~ Michael Woods, author of The Lost Explorer ~
