Packages and Pricing
When it comes to romance author marketing, I believe clarity is everything. Authors shouldn’t have to dig through endless fine print or wonder what they’re paying for. That’s why I designed my author marketing packages to be transparent, flexible, and focused on real results. Every service I offer has a clear purpose, and every price reflects the time, care, and strategy that goes into helping your books reach the right readers.
For many authors, marketing can feel like an unpredictable mix of excitement and anxiety. You pour your heart into writing, only to realize you now need to become a designer, strategist, and publicist overnight. That’s where I come in. I take the stress out of the process by handling the structure, scheduling, and setup so you can focus on writing and connecting with your audience. My goal is to make marketing feel doable, not daunting.
Why Transparent Pricing Matters
In a world of hidden fees and vague service descriptions, I want Literary Inspired to feel like a breath of fresh air. Every price you see is upfront. You’ll always know what you’re getting, how long it takes, and how it fits into your overall marketing strategy. No guesswork, no jargon. Whether you’re booking a one-time project like ARC Management or building a long-term partnership, I’ll make sure you know exactly what to expect.
This transparency also helps authors plan better. When you know what each service includes, it’s easier to manage your marketing budget without surprises. I’ve worked with authors at every stage—from debut writers preparing for their first release to established names juggling multiple pen names—and clear pricing has always made collaboration smoother and more confident.
Building Marketing Support That Fits Your Career
No two authors have the same goals, energy, or workflow. Some love social media and want to grow their reader groups, while others prefer to focus on newsletters or organic discoverability. My marketing packages are designed to flex with your needs, not force you into a rigid formula.
For example, many authors start with The First Chapter, a debut author package that lays the groundwork for visibility through a one-page website, ARC setup, and branded graphics. Others choose The Spotlight Effect, a new release marketing package built to amplify your reach through coordinated ARC campaigns, group promotions, and tailored visual assets. Authors managing established series often benefit from The Steady Spark, which keeps their websites secure, optimized, and visible through monthly SEO updates.
If you’re looking for a more hands-on approach, packages like Socially Awkward and Goodbye Burnout offer ongoing marketing partnership options. These combine social media, newsletters, website support, and digital marketing management into sustainable, month-to-month systems that keep your brand consistent and growing. Each option is built to help you find your rhythm and maintain it long term.
How Packages Create Simplicity and Structure
Most authors don’t need more to-do lists—they need clarity. My packages are intentionally designed to remove overwhelm by bundling the tasks that naturally go together. You don’t need to figure out which services you need first or how they connect. I’ve already done the strategic mapping for you, so all you have to do is choose the level of support that feels right.
This approach also allows me to build momentum with you. For instance, if we start with ARC Management, I already have insight into your audience and book positioning, which makes creating your newsletter strategy or social media content far more effective later on. Each piece feeds into the next, creating a cohesive author ecosystem that grows stronger over time.
Custom Services for Unique Authors
While packages cover the most common needs, I know every author’s journey is different. That’s why I offer custom author services for projects that fall outside the standard options. Maybe you’re planning a large-scale rebrand, launching a spin-off series, or preparing a convention appearance. These services can include ebook cover design, brand and strategy audits, street team coordination, or press kit creation. Before starting, I’ll ask for a clear brief—what you want, your tone, your goals—so I can deliver work that feels completely aligned with your vision.
Why My Work is Built for Romance Authors
Romance readers are among the most engaged, loyal, and passionate audiences in publishing. They love discovering new authors but expect authenticity, consistency, and emotional connection. My romance author marketing strategies are built with that understanding. I know how to tap into genre-specific tropes, language, and trends while keeping your brand true to who you are.
I’ve worked with authors across subgenres like paranormal romance, romantasy, dark romance, LGBTQIA+, why choose, and contemporary romance, helping them create reader experiences that go beyond promotion. The goal is always to build genuine visibility through meaningful touchpoints—not just quick sales spikes. Marketing works best when it feels human, personal, and repeatable.
How to Choose the Right Package
If you’re not sure where to start, think about what’s currently draining your time or energy. Are you spending hours managing your ARC team or scheduling social posts instead of writing? Do you have a website that’s outdated or invisible on search engines? The right package should make your day-to-day simpler, not more complicated.
I often tell authors to start small and build gradually. For instance, you might begin with The Spotlight Effect to gain traction for your latest release, then move into a maintenance plan like The Steady Spark or a monthly partnership package for ongoing marketing management. The key is to create a foundation that feels sustainable.
Real Results, Not Random Busywork
Every service and package is designed around measurable goals. You’ll always know what success looks like, whether it’s an increase in reader engagement, a smoother book launch strategy, or a consistent online presence that aligns with your brand. I use data and intuition together—tracking what performs well, refining your systems, and helping you focus on what actually moves your career forward.
One of my favorite examples is an author who started with a small ARC setup and a few branded graphics. Within months, we expanded her campaign to include reader group promotions and newsletter automation. Her preorders doubled, her reviews grew organically, and she told me she finally felt excited about marketing instead of avoiding it. That’s the kind of transformation I want every author to experience.
FAQ: Packages, Pricing, and Services
Do you only work with romance authors?
Mostly, yes. My focus is on romance author marketing because it’s where my experience and passion align. However, I’ve also worked with authors in fantasy, YA, and women’s fiction, so if your story has a strong emotional or character-driven core, we’ll probably be a great fit.
Can I mix and match services between packages?
Absolutely. Many authors start with a package and then add individual services like ARC Management or SEO optimization. I’ll help you customize a plan that fits both your goals and your budget.
Do I need to sign a contract?
No. I don’t believe in long-term contracts. Authors stay with Literary Inspired because the results speak for themselves, not because they’re locked in. You’ll always have flexibility to pause or adjust as needed.
What if I don’t know what I need yet?
That’s completely fine. Most authors start there. I offer free discovery calls where we can talk through your current challenges and figure out which services would make the biggest difference for you.
Can you help me create a marketing plan for multiple pen names?
Yes. I’ve worked with several multi-genre and multi-pen-name authors. I can help you build separate but cohesive strategies that keep your branding clear while maximizing visibility across audiences.
How quickly can we start?
Turnaround depends on availability, but most new clients are onboarded within one to two weeks. Once you’ve booked your package, I’ll send a detailed onboarding form to gather everything I need to get started.
Final Thoughts and Call to Action
The right author marketing strategy doesn’t just sell books—it gives you back your time and confidence. Whether you’re looking for full-scale support or just need help setting up your systems, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity.

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!
