Work with Amanda

I am mother to three goblins in feline form (though I have a sneaking suspicion that at least one is a trash panda in disguise), and live in British Columbia, Canada, where I work full-time in an administrative support role for the BC Public Service. Reading has always been the greatest love affair of my life. There is nothing I enjoy more than curling up with a good book and a snuggly cat for a few hours and escaping into another world and another life.

As a PA, I am excited to assist indie authors in the back-end admin work and helping to keep them motivated and inspired so they can focus more on bringing their books to life for their readers!

  • I am most comfortable with the genres of romantasy, supernatural/paranormal romance, dark romance, urban fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction, and I’d be pleased to work with authors  who write in and outside of these genres, though I have little interest in non-fiction works.

  • Once contact has been made to H&A, a separate Google Form will be sent out to determine your PA needs, such as whether you want check-ins and their duration, the type of admin support you are looking for, etc. From there, a brief ‘meet and greet’ will be scheduled to get to know each other, establish expectations, and get the overall ‘vibe’.

  • I require a minimum of 24 hours notice to change or increase my hours, for scheduling purposes, though I prefer as much notice as possible. Additional services may be available on an ad-hoc basis, depending on my own comfortability and interest level.

    Weekly check-ins can be scheduled via Google Meet, Discord, or email. I am most comfortable connecting over Discord or email.
