“Every time I get off the phone with Kate I feel pepped up, ready to tackle my goals and continue pursuing my dreams. Kate’s knowledge of the publishing industry has helped me stay on track and expand my readership. Hiring Kate Tilton has been a game changer!”

“I just had a consultation with Kate and it was awesome. I really didn’t have a clear path of where to take my author career, but after speaking with her I have a game plan that is clear and isn’t overwhelming. I came away from our conversation with practical steps to build a platform without losing my mind. I highly recommend her services!”

“In the constantly evolving world of book publishing, it can feel difficult sometimes to pick up the phone and ask questions of someone you don’t know. You hope your questions are good ones, and that this new person will relate to your concerns….but that is the great thing about calling Kate. No matter where you are in the process with publishing your book, Kate will put you at ease and meet you where you are.  She is a pro’s pro: ethical, knowledgeable, and kind. You will immediately feel in good hands.”

“Talking with Kate Tilton was like talking with an old friend, a colleague, and a reader all in one. What I really needed was to work through ideas, and after doing just that with so many people before, her approach is what finally got me thinking beyond my marketing rut. Once the ideas started to flow, they wouldn’t stop, and I now have a solid plan to take my marketing to the next level while focusing on what I enjoy most—writing.”

“Kate was a great help when it came to figuring out the details for my upcoming launch. Her checklists and spreadsheets are invaluable– especially for someone who struggles with organization. Thanks Kate!”

“As soon as I signed my book contract with a publisher, I was in a panic! Thankfully, I found Kate Tilton, who took me by the hand and coached me through all of the big jobs necessary to successfully launch a book. From developing a subscriber list and sending monthly newsletters; to determining where and how to spend marketing dollars; to following a publication to-do list; to opening necessary accounts, such as on Goodreads, BookFunnel and Bookbub: Kate Tilton knew every in and out to waylay my anxiety and make the most of my efforts. I launched my book, learned a lot and had fun in the process. Thank you, Kate!”

“I have had the honor of working with Kate on increasing my book sales and publicity. Through her services, she has delivered on both. What I appreciate most about Kate is her wisdom and integrity. She has also gone the extra mile for me more than once. If you are looking for a book consultant, I encourage you to reach out her.”

“Wow! I just had a consultation with Kate, and it was such a great experience! I needed a gut check and a second set of eyes to discuss my author business. Kate was wonderful– knowledgeable, experienced, and pragmatic. It was so nice to have a one-on-one with someone who not only understands the business of publishing, but also all the moving pieces that go into an author career. It was super helpful. Thank you!”

“Kate is a wealth of knowledge. I hired her for a coaching session as I was an overwhelmed first time author. I needed some guidance and help with prioritizing activities for my launch, social media being the main challenge. In one hour, Kate provided more insight than I expected and also shared a couple resources that have been very helpful. I highly recommend her.”

“Kate is an author’s guardian angel.”

“Kate is fantastic… I highly recommend her if you need help with your author business.”

“Kate Tilton is fantastic to work with! If you have to choose between someone else and Kate. Always choose Kate.”

“Kate is highly knowledgeable and experienced in the world of publishing. She managed the entire publishing process and laid out all of my options for me. With her expert help, I was able to take my story from a rough manuscript to a professionally published book via a very streamlined process. Kate is also an excellent communicator and was able to work efficiently with all members of my team. Kate is someone you can trust to get your work published with ease. I highly recommend working with her!”

“I have used Kate Tilton’s Author Services for many months and highly recommend them because Kate and her staff are true professionals and they execute their commitments in a concise and timely manner. The quality of their work is outstanding – I think they are top notch in the author service field including – but not limited to – graphics (which is so terribly important!).”

“Kate is an incredible asset for any author: smart, creative, timely and efficient, I’d be lost without her! Do not hesitate, book time with her ASAP.”

“The title Author Assistant doesn’t come close to describing what Kate does—and all at the speed of light. I can’t count the number of times that she’s thought of something for my business before I even have an inkling. It’s uncanny, and such a relief! And did I mention fast? Like blazing fast.”

“Kate approaches each project with diligence and care, and her attention to detail, desire to continue to learn, and her reliability have persuaded me to bring her into one project after another, each of which she has handled with aplomb. She’s a real professional.”

“Wind her up and let her go! Kate not only very expertly and efficiently performs the tasks I ask of her, but has become a sounding board for my business and a trusted advisor for feedback on my books and courses. Her breadth of knowledge about tech and processes is astounding, and her insights about authors and audience are invaluable.”

“Author friends, if you’re feeling buried by all the things-which-are-not-writing in your life, get yourself some help by hiring Kate Tilton. It was the best call I ever made. Kate is highly skilled, efficient, and filled with entrepreneurial energy. What’s not to love?”

“Kate is a reliable and highly competent assistant, able to handle whatever tasks I’ve been putting off because they were too complicated or fiddly for me (such as book sales reports, pricing ebooks effectively in their specific geographical markets, all sorts of things that are necessary for a self-published author, but have nothing to do with actually writing the books). Most importantly, I felt completely confident in handing over the logins and security passes she needs to do her work- she holds the keys to my online castle, and that doesn’t worry me at all.”

“I learned so much from Kate…She helped me set up a marketing plan for the release, provided invaluable insight on the nitty gritty of reaching readers, and helped me execute each piece of our plan with confidence and integrity…I highly recommend Kate and am so grateful to have worked with her.”

“Kate Tilton is the essence of professionalism. Her competency level puts her in a class of gig-workers for authors that makes her an asset to anyone, but especially to those who need to be able to trust a highly competent person to do their work without oversight. When you care about your business, you want to work with the best. That’s Kate.”

“Writing, publishing and marketing is a one-woman crazy game and Kate Tilton is the key to keeping my sanity and maximizing my efforts so they all reap rewards. I couldn’t do this without her. I recommend her most highly.”

“Kate is something special, always so organized and prepared and efficient. Even better, she’s proactive, not waiting for me to think up ideas for promotion but coming up with her own. She stays on top of trends and markets and her energy and vitality are a match for her shining intelligence. She’s an absolute joy to work with, and I’m grateful to have found her—and positive you will be, too!”

“I am a children’s book author and working on my first picture book. In this process I recognized the need to get some professional help in various areas. I engaged Kate as an author’s assistant and her impact and value has been seen immediately. She is detailed oriented, creative and strategic. She has a great sense of how social media and your online brand & presence can lead to higher engagement. I would highly recommend her services!”

“Kate Tilton is the most conscientious, dedicated, hardworking, and wonderful author assistant anyone could ever hope to have. I was just plain lucky when I found her and got her to take me on as one of her clients. At that time I was a confused first time author who wanted to publish my book, but I had neither the knowledge or the resources to do that. When Kate took over it was like waving a magic wand over my writing career. She guided me through the whole process and now runs and coordinates all my worldwide publishing, social media and marketing operations. She has all the right contacts, a meticulous eye for detail and is a trusted advisor without whom I cannot function. Anyone interested in a serious writing career would be lucky to have her on their team.”
