The Literary Executive

The Author's Planner is just the tool you need to manage the

success and organization of your book before, during, and after publication. Before publication, it’s important to know your writing and publishing goals, your why behind each goal, and what literary and financial literary success looks like to you. The Author’s Planner provides you the space and guidance to document those important elements of your literary journey.

During the publishing process—regardless of which path to

publication you choose for your book—keeping track of the steps and tasks involved is a must. This keeps you from missing those crucial components that lead to writing and publishing success. Just because your book is written and published doesn’t mean you’re finished. As a matter of fact, you’re just getting started. For your post-publication needs, included in the planner are logs you can use to track reviews, contest and award submissions, social media posts, and more!

Whether you choose to self-publish, submit your book to

publishing houses for publication consideration, or submit to

literary agents for representation, your book is your business and the Author’s Planner helps you mind your book business.

The Literary Consultant Planner is the next best thing to actually having a virtual assistant to log inquiries, discovery call details, emails you send to your clients, and information from coaching sessions (both one-on-one and group). You can even keep track of and maintain notes for your hourly consulting calls. 

A favorite feature of the Literary Consultant Planner is the referral log; analytics for the best form of marketing available, which is word-of-mouth. Because you are a literary industry professional and have branded yourself as a literary consultant and/or publishing coach, even though not every individual in your network—or who you are connected with on social media—may have a desire to write and publish a book, when they encounter someone who does, they think of you . . . and will refer that person to you. That’s why you’ll find in the Literary Consultant Planner “thank-you” pages that will allow you to document the appreciation (gifts/cards) you show to those who refer and recommend your services.

You may not always have access to your computer or laptop

when a client or prospective client calls. So just imagine how

convenient it will be to pull out your planner and have everything you need at your fingertips. Order your Literary Consultant Planner today so that you don’t miss another moment of enjoying its benefits.

The Literary Editor Planner will assist the professional literary editor in staying on task with each editing job they take on. It will keep you and your projects organized by allowing you to easily log the flow and important deadlines of each project.

important aspects (and often the most expensive) of creating and publishing content a writer and author will invest in. That alone is a huge weight on any editor’s shoulders.

The Literary Editor Planner removes the weight of worry and anxiety that can come with taking on a new project, adding a sense of ease that allows you to clearly focus on each editing job. This is just the tool you need to complete your editing tasks with the confidence of knowing you are delivering your clients a polished final project.
