Bespoke Author Marketing That Works With Your Life, Not Against It
Marketing as an author shouldn’t feel like an uphill battle—or a distraction from the work you actually care about. That’s why I offer tailored, flexible services that blend professional strategy with a deep understanding of the author journey. Whether you’re planning your first book launch or trying to re-engage readers after a long break, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and a whole lot less stress.
My approach is personal, practical, and results-driven. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all marketing plans or generic content templates. Every service is crafted to support your creative process, your schedule, and your long-term goals—without compromising your mental bandwidth.
Digital Strategy & Consulting
If you’re not sure where to start, or you’ve been trying to do “all the things” and getting nowhere, digital strategy is your reset point. I’ll help you:
Build a clear, adaptable marketing roadmap aligned with your publishing timeline
Identify which platforms and tools are worth your energy (and which to ignore)
Map out long-term growth strategies that build momentum without burning you out
Rework or refine your backlist promotion to keep older books working for you
Consults can be booked as one-offs or on a recurring basis if you need ongoing guidance as your author career evolves.
Website Design & Development
Your website is your digital home base—it should showcase your books, answer reader questions, and make it easy to connect. I offer:
Custom-built conversion-focused author websites (no boring templates here)
Integration with email platforms like MailerLite, Flodesk, or ConvertKit
Full support for BookFunnel, Payhip, WooCommerce, and Shopify setups
SEO best practices baked in from the beginning
Clean, mobile-friendly layouts that reflect your genre, tone, and reader experience
Whether you need a full site build or a refresh on an existing platform, I make sure your website works for both you and your audience.
Social Media Management
I get it—social media can feel like a second job. I help authors find what actually works for them. That means:
Prioritising 1–2 platforms that you feel comfortable using
Creating content that reflects your brand without being salesy
Reworking your bio, highlights, and link-in-bio tools for better conversions
Building a backlog of graphics and captions so you’re never scrambling
Managing scheduled posting, audience interaction, and growth strategy (optional)
I’ll never push you to go viral or dance on TikTok—unless you want to. The goal here is sustainability, not exhaustion.
ARC & Street Team Management
Review teams are powerful when they’re set up properly. I’ll help you:
Recruit and onboard reliable ARC readers
Create sign-up forms, track responses, and monitor engagement
Send reminder emails, manage review links, and troubleshoot tech issues
Provide a press kit and promotional captions to make sharing easy
Run campaigns that build early buzz and long-term trust
I also offer Street Team setups for authors who want more consistent reader engagement across multiple launches.
Newsletter Strategy & Management
Newsletters are the single most valuable marketing tool for authors—but only when done right. I help you:
Build and segment your subscriber list from day one
Create thoughtful welcome sequences, regular campaign templates, and seasonal promos
Plan launch series that nurture rather than overwhelm
Re-engage cold lists with content that feels personal
Need help migrating platforms or fixing a messy backend? I’ve got that covered too.
Brand Development
Branding isn’t just about having a pretty logo—it’s about making your presence clear, consistent, and memorable. Together, we’ll create:
A cohesive visual identity (fonts, colours, logo)
Strong messaging strategy based on your genre, audience, and tone
Defined content pillars to guide what you share on social and in your newsletter
A style guide so you or your team can keep it consistent going forward
Whether you’re a debut author or revamping after years in the game, your brand should grow with you—not box you in.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of authors do you work with?
I primarily work with indie romance and fantasy authors—especially those writing in subgenres like romantasy, dark romance, paranormal, or urban fantasy. That said, I’ve supported everyone from cozy mystery writers to contemporary fiction authors.
Do I have to sign a contract?
Nope. I work on a flexible, month-to-month basis. You’ll receive a quote and service outline before anything is confirmed, and you can pause or shift services as needed.
Can I book you just for one thing, like an ARC campaign?
Absolutely. You can hire me for a one-off project or ongoing support—it’s entirely up to you.
Do I have to be on every social platform?
Definitely not. In fact, I encourage authors to focus only where they feel most comfortable. It’s better to do one platform well than burn yourself out trying to do everything.
How do I know if this is right for me?
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, if you know you need support but don’t know where to start, or if you’ve tried doing it all yourself and it’s just not working—then yes, this is probably right for you.
Can you work with my existing VA or design team?
Yes! I love collaborating and am happy to slot into your current team structure. My role is to make your life easier, not take over.
How do we get started?
Just send an email or fill out the contact form. I’ll send over a quick intake questionnaire and from there, we can set up a call or get started directly based on your needs.

Build a team of dedicated readers who are ready to support your release. I manage everything—from ARC signups and review reminders to graphics and email support—so you can focus on writing.
Turn your newsletter into your most powerful marketing tool. I’ll help you grow your list and keep it active with welcome sequences, campaign planning, and launch emails that drive results.
Together, we’ll build a cohesive author brand that reflects your voice, your values, and your goals. From visual identity to messaging and content pillars, you’ll walk away with a brand that feels genuinely you.

A.A. Gordon2024-11-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meg is exceptionally creative and so easy and comfortable to work with. She provides a range of services including social media content creation and ARC team management for authors, and I found her to be reliable and devoted to my brand. Val Tobin2024-07-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meg Kelly worked hard on the ARCs for The Empress. I really appreciate everything she did to get the book downloaded and read. I've already received thirteen ratings, ten with reviews, on GoodReads and ten reviews on Amazon. Considering the release date for the book was only June 28, that's a huge help. I never could've accomplished this on my own. I had no idea where to start, and Meg guided me through the process. It felt weird to have to do so little and yet gain so much. I still don't think the work that she did is something I could duplicate on my own. The created promo images alone are beyond my capabilities, and they look gorgeous. I look forward to working with Meg again on my next release and would recommend her services to any author wishing to promote their work. Becca Lamb2024-06-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meg was great to work with, very transparent about her process, and answered all my questions with kindness. Highly recommend! Sara Sines2024-05-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meg coordinated my latest release - from amazing graphics and creative text to managing my ARC Team. She did everything! She did it perfectly! I'm so grateful for Meg's professionalism, organizational skills, creativity, and astounding social media presence. I can't say enough good things about her! The success of my new release is directly related to the time and effort she put into it! I could not have done it without her. Thank you, Meg! Irene Te2024-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've loved working with Meg over the course of my book launch. It was my first experience launching a book and she was such a kind, supportive, and patient presence in my life throughout the months leading up to release day. I chose Meg because, after reviewing several other potential choices for a PA/marketer, she was the only one to tell me that my book (which does not adhere to current big trends or super popular tropes) would be a unique and exciting challenge for her rather than something difficult to sell. Meg shared that she loves to work with a variety of authors across genres, and she is certainly a fantastic person to be on your team regardless of what kind of book you're promoting. I felt reassured from the beginning that she believed in my book and cared about its success. Her organized approach and timely responses took away a lot of stress for me. Meg also has a robust portfolio of work she's done, from websites to graphic design to marketing, and her prices are affordable + transparent. I truly could not recommend her enough. If you're looking for a PA, whether you're more seasoned in the publishing game or new to it like me, please pick Meg! She is wonderful! Christine Miles2024-04-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a still emerging Indie Author, I feel incredibly lucky to have Meg on my team. She has seamlessly taken over managing my social media, the (dreaded) marketing, and newsletter creation. Her work is beautiful and professional, as well as well-written and edited. She just redesigned my website, too, and it's perfect. Next up--turning it into an e-commerce site. I can't recommend her enough! Louisa Poletti2024-04-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic service, I can only recommend it! Meg has helped, supported and inspired me through our work on my first book. Any first-time author would be lucky to enlist her guidance and expertise, and I strongly recommend doing so! Julie-Anna2024-04-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Literary Inspired is honestly a treat to work with. Meg is extremely responsive, sets realistic expectations, and is constantly considering your feedback to ensure you are getting exactly what you had hoped for. Personally for me, I set out to have a logo designed by her since my online presence is mostly through graphics and minimal speaking and/or sitting in front of a camera. At first, I think I was a bit unsure of exactly what I wanted. Yet, Meg somehow could take my unchoesive ideas from Canva and begin to form a logo and brand I could always see but not replicate visually. After a few more briefs, as she calls them, she came up with all that I could imagine and hope for. Thanks a bunch Meg for all that you have done and I look forward to further collaborations in the future. Natalie Cammaratta2024-03-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meg did a phenomenal job setting up my website, and does updates and new projects quickly and with great attention to detail! Kyra Synd2024-02-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Accurate and efficient service. This was my first experience with a PA and I was followed patiently, even in explaining the necessary steps.
