Do you ever feel that hiring an assistant is out of your budget? Allow me to surprise you!
Authors are juggling many tasks. All these “irons in the fire” take away big chunks of time. The most important task an author has is to write their next book.  

Let me help you get back to your writing. One of the top ways to achieve more writing time is to hire out tasks someone else can accomplish for you. Do you worry that it’s too expensive to hire an assistant? Contact me today and give me the chance to surprise you and not break your budget.

I’m an award-winning author who writes sweet historical western romances under the pen name Lianna Hawkins. I’ve served as past-president of the Wisconsin Romance Writers of America. I’m an active member of Fiction on the Bay and help manage our group.

Over the past 15 years, I’ve worked hard and gained many skills. I have a reputation for being friendly, hard-working, reliable, and easy to work with. Some tasks I can do for you are newsletter writing, content planning, mentorship, promo graphics, newsletter swap training, blurb writing, and more.

I would love to chat and discuss a plan that would work for you. Contact me today!

​"As a new author, I have so much to learn, and having the option to work with Lianna Hawkins has been a huge help! A class with Lianna is like a friendly conversation. I have learned a great deal from her about the vitally important process of building an email list and using a newsletter properly to keep subscribers engaged. Her information and supporting documents are detailed and a very helpful reference. I will definitely keep working with her as I learn to build my author business." 
from Author of the Brides of Buckhorn Gap series, Diana Reyes

"I'm happy to recommend Lianna as a PA for aspiring writers. She always responds quickly to my questions and is straightforward in her responses. She has offered me excellent advice on how to build my list of readers and how to make my offerings more attractive. I had intended to jump right into advertising but she has pointed out how it's better to rebrand my four books to emphasize they are a series. You can't go wrong with Lianna, she is hard working and honest and will give you support to build your book sales." from Author of the Aggie and Ragna Mysteries series, J.D. Anderson
