Are you an Author looking to make more sales & grow your business?

Because Writing the Book Is Only Half the Journey

Being an indie author is more than just writing…

It’s launching, marketing, building your reader list, and somehow finding time to do it all without burning out.

That’s where we come in.

At The Novel Assistant, we take the overwhelm off your plate and give you clear, done-for-you and done-with-you support so your books land in the hands of more readers — while you stay focused on writing the next one.

Hi, I’m Alana — your behind-the-scenes book marketing strategist.

I help authors turn their creativity into a business that actually works.
After years of working with indie authors, I know how overwhelming the sales and marketing side can feel — especially when all you really want to do is write.

That’s why I started The Novel Assistant. My team and I take the mystery (and stress) out of launches, sales, and book marketing, so you can focus on what you love most — creating stories readers can’t put down.

Together, we help authors like you launch smarter, grow your readership, and build sustainable success — without the burnout or endless guesswork.

We bring a mix of strategic marketing, creative design, and real-world experience to every project, so you get clear direction, consistent support, and results that actually move the needle.
