Hello, and welcome to the Romance Author’s Best Friend! My name is Kim Castillo and I am a freelance assistant, here to make your life easier and help with all things promotional. Promotion is one of the key ingredients to every author’s career: promoting to your agent, your publisher, booksellers and finally your fans. I’ve found that a personal connection makes all the difference in the romance community. Romance readers like to feel as if they know you and are a welcome visitor to your website and interactive community. Yet that personal touch can take up a lot of your time. Time that you need to be writing or spending with your family!

Not many authors are able to have a full-time assistant on salary, so that’s one of the many positive aspects of my service. I work as-needed, project-to-project or part-time with a cap on hours. My fees are based on actual hours worked, with no minimum requirement. No job is too small, making me affordable to all authors, whether this is your first or your tenth book!
