The Literary Executive

The Author's Planner helps authors manage the success and organization of their book before, during, and after publication. Before publication, it’s important to know your goals, your whys, and what literary and financial literary success looks like to you. 

During the publication of your book, it’s important to keep track of the flow and process of the publication of your work, whether you choose to self-publish, submit to publishing houses for publication consideration, or submit to literary agents for representation. 

And after publication, there are logs to help you keep track of reviews, contests you submit your work to, and more. 

Page Titles: 

• Why I Write, Why I Publish, Why I Sell/Share
• Publishing Goals
• Writing Project Deadlines
• Manuscript Tracking Log
• Book Sales Tracker and more!

The Literary Consultant Planner is the next best thing to actually having a virtual assistant to maintain inquiries, discovery calls, and actual coaching sessions (both individual 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. 

Because you are a literary industry professional and have branded yourself as a literary consultant and/or publishing coach, even though individuals in your network or that you’re connected to on social media may have no desire to write and publish a book, when they encounter someone who does, they think of you . . . and refers that person to you. 

And as much as you may love technology, there are no Google analytics to track referrals and keep track of where all your clients came to know about and connect with you. In addition to that, acknowledging and thanking those who refer you, your company, and/or your services is a must.
