So you wrote a book. Congratulations!
Now what? The author life can seem a bit daunting, which is why I'm here to help you navigate the terrain.
I thrive at assisting authors and with 19 years experience in the newspaper industry and 11 years experience in the book biz, I've got a head full of knowledge and a heart full of stories of my own.
I'm Lenora Henson LLC, an empty-nesting wife, mother, grandmother, gardener and book nerd. When not knee-deep in the world of books and design, I'm curating my farm with husband, The Mighty Oak and pup, George Bones.
I've worked with many businesses and helped numerous creatives over the years. I have a considerable amount of experience in design, writing, paginating, marketing and process creation. Like a sea of red poppies, I thrive in this field.
How can I help you?
• General Author Virtual Assistance - I thrive when I can build a long-term relationship with an author, helping them build their foundation and systems, then helping them maintain their processes with weekly tasks and meetings.
• Design - I love Canva, and can create one-pagers, media kits, workbooks, social headers/posts, lead magnets, Amazon A+ Content and so much more.
• Newsletter - I can design your newsletter template, and then help you manage each week/month.
• Amazon Optimization - I can create A+ Content, and content keyword and category research.
In addition I offer the following:
• Bios, Blurbs & Branding
• Weebly website design
• Research
• Press releases, press kits, press pitches
• Lite Marketing & PR
• Book Launch Support
• Post Launch Support
• Book Biz Coaching & Consulting

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!!
