Bookish Businesses

Thoughtful content for people who work with books.

The book world is full of ideas, launches, announcements, submissions, events, and endless to-do lists. Often, the challenge isn’t a lack of material. It’s deciding:

  • what deserves attention
  • what to say (and what not to say)
  • how to stay visible without sounding repetitive
  • how everything fits together over time

That’s where I can help.

As a published author myself, I understand both the creative and commercial sides of the literary world. I bring that perspective into content planning and writing that feels informed, not generic.

How I Can Support Your Bookish Business

Content Planning

If your blog, news section, or website feels reactive rather than intentional, we can step back and create a winning structure.

Together, we’ll clarify:

  • your priorities (authors, readers, submissions, events?)
  • the themes worth returning to
  • how to balance promotion with insight
  • what should exist and in what order

The result is a practical content plan you can implement yourself or ask me to write.

Ongoing Writing Support

Once you’ve found your content direction, I can help you bring it to life with:

Blog posts that:

  • introduce new releases without sounding formulaic
  • highlight authors and industry insights
  • explore trends in a way that feels informed
  • build genuine connection with readers or writers

Website copy that:

  • reflects the personality of your press, shop, or agency
  • explains submissions or services clearly
  • speaks confidently to your audience
  • guides visitors naturally towards the next step

Everything is written with your tone, audience, and long-term positioning in mind, not just the latest announcement.

Why Work With Me?

I’m part of your world

As a published author with indie publisher Burning Chair, I’ve experienced the publishing journey firsthand. I understand the realities behind book launches, submissions, edits, and marketing.

I think in structure, not just sentences

I don’t simply produce content on request. I help you decide what matters, shape it into something coherent, and ensure each piece supports the next.

I understand small, creative businesses

Bookish brands often operate with small teams and big ambitions. I know what it’s like to juggle creative work with practical demands, and I aim to make your content workload feel lighter, not heavier.

Let’s shape something thoughtful
