Michelle Scappace Mack
Michelle’s Virtual Assistance – Cocoa Beach, FL, USA
As an Author’s Assistant I specialize in assisting aspiring authors successfully publish their book(s). I help authors stay on track by assisting them with tasks they don’t know how to do or simply don’t have time for such as submitting the Library of Congress application, obtaining and tracking necessary permissions and making sure all the appropriate accounts are set up for when their book is ready to go to print and be published. The services I provide play a key role in saving my clients time and money by helping to ensure accuracy of information and coordinating publishing procedures in order to be certain the right steps are being taken in the right way and at the right time throughout the process.
I am a proud member of the eWomenNetwork Foundation, the Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) and the International Virtual Assistants Association (IVAA)

Janica Smith
AdminiSmith/PublishingSmith — Austin, TX, USA
We provide services to authors, speakers and entrepreneurs through two branches of our company — PublishingSmith and AdminiSmith. Through AdminiSmith we support authors, speakers, and other entrepreneurs who have better things to work on than administrative details but know that ignoring those things can really hurt their business. Things like:
- Bookkeeping
- Mailing list management
- Newsletters and eZines
- Blog maintenance
- Information product development
- Travel arrangements
- Calendar management
- Other administrative details
Through PublishingSmith, we work with passionate, creative people who want to become published authors. We guide authors through the entire publishing process from start to finish. Our first step is to discuss the author’s goals for the book and the advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing and traditional publishing. Most of our clients choose to self-publish and we help them form their own publishing company so they are publishing under their own imprint. We put an end to the anxiety of publishing by handling all the details, connecting our clients with vetted book professionals and making sure they avoid the many scams, mistakes and pitfalls that can derail self-published authors.
We are committed to helping authors retain maximum control and ownership of their intellectual property while maintaining the highest standards of quality publishing. It is our goal that our clients will hold their self-published book in one hand while holding a traditionally published book in the other and not be able to tell the difference.
Let us help you focus on your genius work while we handle the details of your business.

Joni Snowden
A Novel Space – Inglewood, CA, USA
I work with fiction authors who struggle with finding time to write, research, locating speaking engagements or handle the paper work. Through A Novel Space, I am their behind-the-scenes right hand that takes these important, but time-consuming duties off their shoulders and give them the freedom to create the stories their readers enjoy.
As a result, my clients receive the support of someone who shares their love of fiction writing, and can provide the assistance they need. The final result is a writer who has time to write, showcase their passion, and interact with their readers.
