With my sixth book (!) coming out soon, I’m looking for a PA. What is an author’s PA, you may ask? Well, here’s a list of tasks I may need.
1. Update Facebook page and Twitter account with teasers, sales, and other promotional items related to the author’s work. (All teasers and other promotional graphics will be provided by the author. Any other graphics must be approved by the author before posting.)
2. Maintain calendar for the author (blog takeovers, promotional events, and other miscellaneous items).
3. Keep track of giveaways. PA will be responsible for sending out and/or gifting copies of author’s e-book(s) to winners of any giveaways he or she has donated to. PA will also be responsible for tracking addresses of winners of swag items, such as bookmarks, etc. and deliver a spreadsheet of this information to the author once a week.
4. Answer questions from fans as reasonable, regarding future releases, promotional events, signings, etc. or forward inquiry to the author for a response.
5. Assist author in organizing tasks for their street team, including sharing posts made on the author’s FB fan page with the street team for them to share on FB and Twitter.
6. Other tasks as may be necessary.
The pay is nominal for now, with the understanding if the books take off it, compensation will increase. You will have access to the author’s works and other swag items, including signed paperbacks, at no cost to you in exchange for your help.
The PA will not disclose to others or use, whether directly or indirectly, any confidential and/or personal information about the author, including information and manuscripts of unreleased projects, for his/her own benefit or for any other purpose.
