Hi, I’m Kate Tilton and I love helping authors.
I have worked in publishing since 2010 and have helped hundreds of authors over the years, from pre-publication writers to New York Times bestsellers. I work with self-published/indie authors, hybrid authors, and traditionally published authors. I turn scary and overwhelming things like marketing into tools we use to make your publishing dream a reality.
You may have seen me in Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, RT Book Reviews, or on the Kobo Writing Life podcast sharing my insight into the current publishing and marketing world. I’ve also shared my knowledge of the industry by contributing to The Self-Publisher’s Ultimate Resource Guide and by presenting at Book Expo America, NINC, and other venues. Kate Tilton’s Author Services, LLC was founded in 2010 after I was hired to work with a New York Times bestselling author as an assistant while I was finishing my last year of high school. The new challenge of running my own business fueled my creative right-brain and gave me the perfect job for my detail-oriented left-brain.
My creativity shines brightest when working on a problem or discovering new ways to do business. But for a more traditional form of creativity, I pen the occasional poem and enjoy the art of pottery and printmaking. I’m a cat-lover and fan of many geeky things. On most days you can find me curled up with tea and a good book, plotting world takeover, cuddling with my cats, or connecting authors and readers in any way I can.

Lucheni and Link, Office Cats Overlords
Lucheni (gray) and Link (orange) were rescued from a crazy guy selling them in a Walmart parking lot for $3 each while feeding them human baby food. Needless to say, their luck quickly turned around when they arrived at Kate’s house. When they are not sleeping you can find Lucheni sitting high on his cat tower surveying all that is his and Link opening the cabinets and doors looking for an adventure. Lucheni was named after a character from the German musical Elizabeth. Link was named after Link from the Legend of Zelda games. You can see lots of their adorable pictures on Kate’s Instagram feed.
