About Katie

Katie is a writer and Virtual Assistant to authors, based in Yorkshire.

In a bit more detail…

Her writing is mostly fantasy based and often features the wonderful moors and hills that decorate her home county. Her Virtual Assistant work with Katie’s Author Assistance includes all the non-writing work that goes alongside being an author, leaving you time to do the important writing part. Outside of all that, Katie can usually be found baking up tasty treats – which she then shares around at FantasyCon, so keep an eye out for red hair and a tote bag full of treats.

Why Choose Me?

Because writing is hard enough without the added burden of administrative tasks.

Writing is already demanding on its own, and it becomes even more challenging when mixed with everyday responsibilities and possibly a day job. Handling the admin duties can feel like an extra full-time role. I can help ease that pressure, ensuring you don’t miss out on critical career opportunities. By working together, we can streamline your workflow and improve organisation, allowing you to manage both your writing and daily life more smoothly.

Clients I’ve Worked With

I am overall pretty terrible at remembering to finish (or, sometimes, even start) a task. I’m terrible at remembering whether I’ve booked a table or travel or a hotel. I’m extremely terrible at a lot of things that aren’t “write the book”, and that’s where Katie comes in. Katie is dedicated, punctual, methodical, and organised. I can discuss with her what needs to be done, and if Katie needs further input from me -or if the task is to make sure I do something only I can do (pay a bill, sign a contract, etc)- she’ll let me know. And then she will make sure it happens. She has taken all kinds of tasks off my hands that I didn’t have the bandwidth for myself, and I’m 100% certain she can do these things for you, too. She’s quick, efficient, and will achieve a startling amount of work in very little time!
AK Faulkner, author of Jack of Thorns
Katie is, quite simply, a legend. Under her extraordinary and efficient organisational skills, our show has gone from a haphazard, unreliable and frequently unscheduled mess into a well-run, orderly, and scheduled-in-advance machine that respects our audience. Sure. there’s still chaos; but now it’s happening where it should, on the live show itself, and not in the administration and management sides. If you’re a creative type with a burning brilliant project idea and no organisational skills, I’m telling you right now; you need a Katie. Thank me later.

Perhaps getting your last book out in the world keeps pulling you away from a blank page in its sequel. I can help you with everything from general admin to community management, and let you get back to the writing.
