Our Story
My name is Brian Berni. I have been around books all my life, first as a researcher, then as an expert book marketer. Through my agency, I have helped hundreds of authors sell more books. I know the ins and outs of running an author business, and I know how challenging it can get. These days we need to wear countless 'hats': accountant, marketer, social media manager, etc. Can't we just write?
Busy Bee is my answer to that question.

My name is Alexa Bigwarfe. I am the founder and CEO of Write|Publish|Sell and host of the Women in Publishing Summit. I provide events, training opportunities, tools, resources, and content to guide and educate authors and industry professionals through the process of publishing and marketing books. My community also serves as a place for encouragement and support in this journey.
Find your dream assistant now!
This is such a needed service for authors. I've used VA/PA services from other well-known freelance platforms, but they can be overwhelming and daunting. Looking for an assistant who has some knowledge of the author world (such as Bookbub Ads) is like looking for a needle in a haystack with these larger platforms. I had been dragging my feet on hiring a more permanent VA/PA for so long because I didn't want to have to deal with looking through that proverbial haystack, but Busy Bee makes it so easy to find the assistant you need for the work you need as an author. Thank you, Brian!!
