All Tied Up Author Services

January is the time when most newsletter round robins begin. That means signups are starting now! If you aren't familiar, a round robin is when a group of 12 or so authors get together and agree to send each other's free newsletter magnets out once a month as a way to build subscribers with known readers of your genre. They can be highly effective for gaining quality subscribers.

If you want to make the most of a round robin newsletter builder, it's best to optimize your mailing list before they begin. Now is the time to do that!

Don't know what that looks like, I can help. I'm holding a newsletter audit sale!

A newsletter audit includes me getting into your mailing list service provider and looking at 6 months or so of your data. I'll read your campaigns, look at your subject lines, and perhaps the most important part is I'm going to check out your workflows and welcome sequences. How are you organizing your list? How are you engaging them so they stick around? Once I take a look at everything, we'll get on a zoom call and go over everything. I'll tell you what you are doing right, and what you need to improve on. Then I'll tell you exactly how you can improve those things. After the call, you'll get an email recap including the action plan we came up with.

You will have the opportunity to hire me to put that plan into action for you, but I'm also big on not pressuring you to if you feel fully confident doing the work yourself.

Normally, an audit is $99. But if you grab one of the dates available in this handy booking form, it will only be $75!

Flodesk (my preferred mailing list service) has finally integrated with Bookfunnel! If you've thought about switching, here's a referral code to get 50% off your first year!

And if you're thinking of switching but dread setting up all new workflows and welcome sequences, I offer that service! I'll also help you segment your list for optimal click and open rates. I'm most familiar with Flodesk, but I've also helped authors with Mailerlite and Mailchimp, and if you manage your list on Wix, I had mine there for years before I switched to Flodesk.

Just email [email protected] to get started!

Beginners and experts use Flodesk to grow their business. Design emails and forms that look great on any device. Try it free.

I've just added premade covers to my website! The first batch just went up a few minutes ago, and I have another dozen or so to put up tonight or tomorrow. I'll be designing during the month of August to have a massive sale in September, so if you have something you're looking for, comment below and you may see it in my premade store over the next few weeks! (I'm strictly a contemporary designer.)

Head over to the All Tied Up website to purchase what is already there!

Most ebook covers are in the $60 to $75 range and are basic to-market billionaire covers. I've got a batch of discreet covers and more "spicy" covers coming tomorrow!

For the month of July, if you purchase a premade, I'll throw in 5 free aesthetic flat lays to go with your new cover.

It's February!!

I was always planning to run a 10% off sale beginning February 1st, because it's my birthday month.

But then something cool happened!

Not only did my team make it to the Super Bowl, but Taylor Swift's boyfriend made it too! My family are lifelong 49ers fans, since we grew up in Northern California, and I am a HUGE Swiftie. (Seriously... I saw the Eras Tour Movie 13 times in theaters!)

To top it all off, the Super Bowl is on my birthday, and it's happening in Las Vegas, where I live!

My excitement is too great not to pass some of it on to you!

So I'm doubling my discount. Book a service with me any time before February 29th and you'll get 20% off the total cost!

The date of your service doesn't have to be for the month of February, it just has to be booked before 11:59 PM on February 29th, and your invoice will reflect a 20% discount.

To book a service, go to www.alltiedupauthorservices.com my calendar is open through the next six months for most services, and up to nine months for Marketing Master Lists where I pull quotes, tropes, and ad copy from your manuscripts and compile it into a master marketing document for you, so you have plenty of dates to choose from! I'll do new releases, backlist, whatever you need!

February is also a great time to refresh your newsletter welcome sequences since you've all finished that DMARC alignment. (Don't worry, I did mine on January 29th just like some of you!)

Have questions about my services? Drop them below.

Just don't ask me who I'm cheering for at the Super Bowl. My family will disown me if I say I'm cheering for Taylor Swift. I'll definitely be wearing friendship bracelets that day, they just might say go Niners.

It's that time of December where we all very optimistically plan out the upcoming year! We fill in those publishing calendars and convince ourselves that we can totally put out 12 books in 6 months. Oh wait... am I the only one who does that?

My point is, I know a lot of you are booking editors, designers, and marketing services for 2024, and I'm happy to announce that I've done enough of my own planning, that my calendar is now open for bookings for the next 6 months!

And there's still time to save 15% on all services if you book them by Dec. 31st!

This morning, I'm wrapping up a newsletter audit for an author, and I was wondering...

What is something you would want to know after having your newsletter and subscriber list examined for potential weak points?

My action list for this audit includes tips for segmenting this author's specific list to improve deliverability, pointers for more engaging content, an oboarding sequence idea for warming up a colder group of new subscribers, and ways to increase click rates.

If any of this sounds interesting to you, you can get a full audit for just $85 if you book before the end of the year! (Your date can be after the first of the year, you just need to book it before Dec. 31st to save.)

I normally only edit contemporary romance, but I would totally edit a kinky pirate manuscript. 🤣

It's important to make sure you're delivering the right message. 🤣

The final category I offer is marketing. My current focus is newsletter marketing, and helping you get your newsletter in top shape for marketing to the people who subscribe.

I offer newsletter audits where I'll help you identify the places that need improvement, welcome sequences, and complete newsletter overhauls.

Outside of newsletter marketing, I also offer a quotes, tropes, and ad copy service where I'll read your manuscript and pull out ideal quotes, teasers, and a list of all the things I think readers will connect with or drool over. I'll also write you some ad copy. This is the service I expect to fill up fast, so book by the end of the month to save 15%!

Let's talk story!

The words on the page are an author's bread and butter. Without those, we wouldn't have a business.

A good editor who understands the genre you write in is important.

That's why I'm happy to be offering line editing and developmental editing for all subgenres of contemporary romance. I also offer sensitivity reads for books that include B**M, power exchange, s*x workers, and more. And I have two decades of lifestyle experience to bring to the table.

If you're in the beginning of your process, I'll also give you my first impressions on the first 20,000 words of a manuscript.

Finally, I also do free sample edits of up to 1500 words. In fact, before I'll take anyone on as an editing client, I insist on doing a sample edit!

To book your sample edit, just head to www.alltiedupauthorservices.com

I cannot wait to read your stories and help you make them the very best they can be.

As a reminder, anyone who books a service with me before the end of the year will receive a 15% discount.
