When I started Literary Inspired, I knew I didn’t want to just talk about what I do—I wanted to show it. My author marketing portfolio highlights real examples of how strategy, creativity, and care come together to help romance authors grow their readership and sustain their careers. Every project you see represents a collaboration built on trust, communication, and shared goals. My focus is always on bringing your vision to life in a way that feels genuine to you.

As an author, your creative energy is your most valuable asset. The right marketing systems protect that energy while helping your books reach the readers who will love them. That’s the heart of every project I take on. Whether I’m designing a website, running an ARC campaign, or creating social media content, my work is grounded in understanding who you are, what your audience connects with, and how to make your brand stand out without burnout.

A Showcase of Strategy and Storytelling
Every project in my portfolio for authors is rooted in strategy. I don’t believe in quick fixes or flashy trends. My goal is to build long-term visibility through intentional design, consistent communication, and authentic connection. I take the time to learn about your audience, your tropes, and your brand tone so every piece of marketing feels like a natural extension of your voice.

I’ve worked with over 100 authors and supported 275+ book launches, across genres like romantasy, paranormal romance, dark romance, LGBTQIA+, and contemporary romance. Each project is unique, but the foundation stays the same: clarity, organization, and creativity that serves both you and your readers.

Social Media That Connects, Not Drains
My social media marketing for authors goes beyond aesthetics. I help authors build presence with purpose, creating content that speaks directly to their audience while reflecting their brand tone. From monthly content plans to full social media management, every element is designed to help you show up online with ease.

I use content pillars that highlight your stories, tropes, and themes, so your audience connects on an emotional level. Whether we’re promoting a new release or nurturing engagement between launches, the goal is always consistency and connection. My Facebook group management and community engagement services also include finding organic opportunities to promote your books naturally within active reader groups. This kind of authentic visibility drives discovery without feeling forced or salesy.

Websites Built for Authors, Not Just Pretty Pages
Your website should be more than an online business card. It’s your digital home—a place where readers learn about your books, join your mailing list, and stay connected to your world. My author website design services combine visual storytelling with conversion strategy. I build sites that are clean, professional, and optimized for both user experience and SEO.

I start by mapping your reader journey: what happens when someone lands on your site, how they explore your catalog, and what makes them click “buy” or “subscribe.” Each site is custom-designed to reflect your genre and brand personality. I handle design, SEO setup, and ongoing hosting and maintenance, so you never have to worry about the technical details.

One author I worked with had an outdated website that didn’t represent her growing brand. After redesigning her site with updated visuals, clear navigation, and an email signup funnel, her newsletter growth doubled within three months. That’s the power of having a website that works for you.

ARC Campaigns That Create Excitement
An ARC Management campaign is one of the most effective ways to build anticipation and early reviews for your book. I handle every stage, from setting up ARC signup forms and managing BookFunnel distribution to coordinating reader communication and review reminders. My process takes the guesswork out of managing your early readers, helping you launch confidently and professionally.

Many authors come to me frustrated by disorganized ARC systems or inconsistent review follow-ups. I build structured, repeatable workflows that save time and reduce stress. You’ll have everything you need—ARC tracking sheets, communication templates, and a clear post-launch process—to keep your readers engaged for future releases. The result is a campaign that builds community, loyalty, and momentum for every new book.

Design That Tells Your Story
Branding plays a huge role in how readers connect with your books. My graphic design for authors focuses on visual storytelling that matches your tone and tropes. From logo design and graphic packs to reel templates, each piece is tailored to your genre and message.

Before I begin any design work, I’ll ask for a creative brief—a short summary of your vision, colors, and the feeling you want your visuals to create. This ensures every design reflects your unique voice. Whether it’s a teaser for a launch or a brand refresh, I approach each project with strategy and intention. Your visuals should excite readers while staying consistent across all your platforms.

Behind the Scenes: My Process
Every collaboration starts with conversation. I want to understand not just your goals but also your frustrations, boundaries, and workflow. From there, I’ll recommend services that suit your needs and energy levels. Once we agree on a plan, I create a structured timeline that includes deliverables, feedback rounds, and progress updates.

For design projects, I’ll gather everything I need—your brief, brand materials, and content references. For ARC Management or social media strategy, I’ll start with your audience insights and genre research. Throughout the process, you’ll always know what’s happening and when. My goal is to make marketing feel organized, collaborative, and completely manageable.

Why Authors Choose Literary Inspired
Working with over a hundred authors has shown me that good marketing isn’t just about results—it’s about relief. It’s about knowing someone has your back, understands your world, and can take the overwhelm off your plate. I combine 13+ years of digital marketing experience with deep knowledge of the romance publishing landscape to help authors grow their careers sustainably.

My systems are built to support real life. They’re neurodivergent friendly, transparent, and easy to maintain. I care as much about your mental load as I do about your metrics. Whether you’re managing multiple pen names or releasing your first book, my goal is to create structure that works with you, not against you.
