Portfolio for Author Services
See what’s possible when strategy meets storytelling.
Every romance author’s journey is different, but the goal is always the same: to reach readers in a way that feels authentic, sustainable, and true to your voice. My portfolio of romance author marketing projects showcases how strategy, creativity, and care come together to help authors stand out, stay consistent, and grow with confidence.
Whether you need help managing your ARC team, creating a cohesive social media strategy, or building a professional author website, every project I take on is guided by the same philosophy: marketing should work with your creative energy, not against it.
Social Media Marketing
Helping Authors Shine in Every Scroll
Social media isn’t about chasing trends, it’s about connection. My social media marketing for authors goes beyond pretty graphics to focus on building meaningful engagement and visibility. Each strategy starts with understanding your audience, your tone, and your goals. From custom content creation to full-scale community management, I make sure your presence feels authentic and approachable while staying aligned with your brand.


































































Whether you’re prepping for a launch or nurturing a loyal reader community, I build systems that keep your content organized, your visuals on-brand, and your posts consistent. My work often includes graphic packs, caption creation, and hands-on Facebook group management that helps authors reach new readers without spending hours online.
Author Websites
Professional Author Websites That Convert
Your website is the heart of your author platform. I design sites that are as functional as they are beautiful, built with clear navigation, easy updates, and long-term scalability in mind. From one-page websites for debut authors to full e-commerce websites for direct sales, every site is customized to match your tone, genre, and goals.























My process always starts with strategy. We’ll map out your reader journey, ensuring your site guides visitors seamlessly from discovering your books to joining your mailing list or making a purchase. I handle design, SEO setup, and hosting management, creating a website that works hard for you behind the scenes so you can focus on writing.
ARC Team Management
ARC Campaigns That Build Buzz Without the Burnout
My ARC Management Service is one of the most effective ways to build reader trust and gather early reviews. From custom signup forms and ARC toolkits to reminders and gentle accountability systems, every campaign is personalized to your genre and readership. I coordinate BookFunnel delivery, create press kits, and manage communication so your campaign runs smoothly from start to finish.










































Authors often come to me overwhelmed by spreadsheets and review tracking. By implementing structured systems, I make the ARC process simple, organized, and repeatable. The goal is to help you build a reliable team of readers who are excited to support each release, without you having to chase reviews or manage chaos.

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.
FAQ: Portfolio and Author Marketing Projects
Can you show me specific examples from my genre?
Yes, I can share examples of social media campaigns, ARC Management, or website designs that align with your subgenre or tone. Each author’s needs are different, so I’ll tailor examples that best match your goals.
How long do projects usually take?
Project timelines vary. Smaller tasks like graphic design or ARC setup take about a week, while full website builds or brand overhauls can take four to six weeks. I’ll always provide an estimated timeline before we begin.

That’s completely normal. We can start with a quick consultation to discuss your goals and challenges. From there, I’ll recommend the right mix of services to give you the biggest impact.

You’re welcome to share any inspiration or assets you have, but I can also source images and help craft copy that fits your genre and tone. Collaboration makes the final result feel personal and authentic.

Heather Grace Stewart2025-07-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Meg Kelly of Literary Inspired feels like casting the perfect lead in your romcom. She’s smart, stylish, and somehow always one step ahead of the plot. Meg helped me successfully launch THE LOVE LEAP into readers’ hands worldwide, and now she’s my not-so-secret weapon as we roll out the rest of THE TIMELESS LOVE CHRONICLES and breathe new life into my back catalogue. Her creative eye is sharp, her professionalism flawless. She hits every deadline, serves up marketing magic like it’s espresso in Rome, and brings kindness and humour to the table every single week. Meg’s the kind of person you hire once and never want to let go. Highly recommended. #authorsocialmedia #authorpa #authormarketing Serenity Rayne2025-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meg has made my life infinitely easier. She gives you a timeline of what is happening when. The level of organization and professionalism I have yet to find until Literary Inspired. I have Meg booked from now to underverse come. If you haven’t had the pleasure of working with her, you should! Rochelle Wilcox2025-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Meg helped me build an ARC team from scratch and now is managing the ARCs for a series I'm rapid releasing, and I'm ecstatic with her services and so grateful to her. She has a way with words, and drafted pitches and hooks that were perfect for my books and so much better than what I'd been able to do. The graphics she prepared for my launch are absolutely beautiful. I'm less than two weeks out from the Book I launch and it already has over 100 Goodreads reviews, which wouldn't have been possible without her. Now that she's helped me with this series, I don't think I'll ever launch a book without her support. 10/10 recommend!! Sheyanne Warren2025-04-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cam to Meg with 2 pen names and a website. She has completely solidified my branding with the things that I was already doing in my writing. There was no overhaul and everything feels like me because she took directly from what I have written and not what is trendy and popular. The graphics are (1) better than anything I did myself, top tier quality and (2) gorgeous and consistent. She has a video call with you - develops that relationship right in the beginning and the communication is excellent! Ingrid Seymour2025-03-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best PA services for authors I have found! After trying and giving up on several other PAs, Meg proved to be a delight to work with. No more ghosting or wondering if things will get done. No more chasing someone to do their job. Meg is extremely organized and professional. She has a schedule and sticks to it. Her design and analytical abilities are outstanding. She redesigned my newsletter and made it more appealing and easier to read. She's amazing! The last PA I'll ever want. 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!
