Hey Reader,

Can we share a little secret with you?

It’s okay to admit that you’re not blown away by your team.

Time and time again, we see something confusing in the author world: You hold yourself to crazy-high standards, but simultaneously let your team get away with consistently not meeting your expectations.

Maybe you just don’t have it in you to give the same feedback again. Or you’re on deadline, and don’t have the energy to check up on things. Or you just do the thing yourself, because it’s taking too long to explain. Or you just need the thing done, and don’t want to explain (again) why the thing is important. Or you’re convinced you’re a micro-manager, so it’s really a “you” problem.

If just reading that exhausts you because, well, it’s your daily life, it’s not just okay to admit you’re not blown away by your team… it’s necessary if you want things to change.

We’re here to tell you that your team should wow you.

You shouldn’t have to give the same feedback again. You shouldn’t have to check up on things. You shouldn't have to step in and do it yourself. You shouldn't have to prepare a speech about the importance of a task for it to be taken seriously and actually get done.

And listen—maybe you are a micro-manager (we’ll tell you if you are!), but maybe you’re a micro-manager because you’ve had no other choice 😬

As two experienced business owners who originally come from outside the author world, we’ve been on a multi-year mission to shake things up in this industry… particularly for high-performing authors like you, who want support you can rely on and grow because of.

We want you to have standards and have them met, consistently.

We’re not naïve: We know that running an author business will always involve some level of stress, pressure, and maybe even chaos.

But when you have the right team in place, this is the kind of magic that happens:

“I’m SO grateful for all your hard work. My biggest win was that it made it possible for me to travel for two months and have NOTHING fall by the wayside. That’s amazing, and I’m so happy.”

“It's been a hot minute since I was in the Top 100 on Amazon in the UK and the USA at the same time…!”

“My business is becoming more and more hands off for me, which was my whole goal. This has great positive consequences for my future, and it’s so exciting to see that I’m another step closer to my dream life.”

Listen, our combined decades of business experience might come from outside the author world, but after 2+ years in it, we’ve got the depth and the reps to be able to have one conversation with you to identify how your team might be limiting you.

And that one conversation is exactly what we want to offer you:

Right now, the next ten nine 60-minute live author team audit calls booked are on us (read: FREE for you), before the price jumps to $300.

This is for you if you’re an established author with a team who has more moving pieces than you want to be managing and is more-than-ready to be hands off.

From there, we work with you in one of two ways:

1. Full-service business management: You want to spend more time honing your craft, plotting, writing, and *gasp* resting, but you’re stuck carrying the mental load of both your tasks and your team’s tasks. As a full-service business management team, we step into the role that you didn’t sign up for but somehow got assigned in your business: Of managing people, projects, and timelines.
2. Consulting: Maybe your team does have what it takes to excel, but they just need the right training, mentorship, and mindset shifts to step into a more valuable role in your author business. We’ll meet with you and your team members individually, then bring you back together with a plan that works for everyone.

Or hey, once we’ve done our audit and you have more insights on your team’s dynamics, strengths, and gaps, you might have everything you need to make changes on your own. We’ll be cheering you on virtually!

Eager to find out? Book your free audit now.

P.S. We haven’t officially introduced ourselves! In a future email, we’ll give you the fuller picture of how we ended up in the author world, but in the meantime: We’re Cristina + Sara, and we run a full-service business management agency for authors. Whether you’re self-published, trad published, or hybrid, our goal is to create peace of mind for you, while telling you "Get out of here and go write!" as often as possible. 😆
