Mini Author
Business Audit
A fresh set of eyes on your author business for just $49 AUD
Not sure what's actually stopping your books from selling?
Let me take a look
You’re posting. You’re promoting your books. You’re trying to grow your audience.
But when sales aren’t where you want them to be, it can be really hard to know what actually needs fixing.
Do you need more visibility?
Is your messaging unclear?
Is your website losing readers?
Is there a gap between someone discovering your book and actually buying it?
Or are you simply focusing your time and energy in the wrong place?
That’s exactly what I’ll look at in your Mini Author Business Audit.
MINI AUTHOR BUSINESS AUDIT
A fresh set of eyes on your author business
for just $49 AUD.
I’ll personally review your author business through a sales and marketing lens and look for the gaps that could be making it harder for readers to discover you, connect with your books and ultimately buy.
Then I'll record a personalised video walking you through what I found and what I think you should focus on next.
No call required. Simply purchase your audit, send me your details and
I’ll get to work.
I’ll take a quick look across the key areas of your author business, including:
Your discoverability
How easy is it for the right readers to find you and your books?
Your author brand & messaging
Is it immediately clear what you write, who your books are for and why a reader should be interested?
Your reader journey
What happens when someone discovers you? Is there a clear path from interest to finding and buying your books?
Your reader capture
Are you giving interested readers a reason to join your world through your email list, reader magnet or other channels?
Your reader retention
Are you making it easy for someone who enjoys one of your books to stay connected and discover what to read next?
WHAT YOU'LL GET
You'll receive a personalised video from me walking you through your audit.
I'll show you:
✓ What I think is working
✓ Where I can see potential gaps
✓ Where you could be losing readers or sales
✓ Your top 3 priorities I'd focus on first
✓ What I wouldn't worry about right now
The goal isn't to give you another enormous marketing to-do list.
It's to help you understand where I'd put your time, money and attention first.
WHAT I'LL LOOK AT
THIS IS FOR YOU IF...
You've published your book but sales aren't where you'd like them to be.
You're doing lots of marketing but aren't sure what's actually working.
You feel like you're constantly posting and promoting without knowing whether it's leading anywhere.
You keep wondering whether you need more followers, ads, content or another marketing tactic.
Or you're simply too close to your own business and would love an experienced sales and marketing person to take a look from the outside.

A QUICK NOTE
The Mini Author Business Audit is designed as a quick professional review of your current author business. It isn't a full business strategy, detailed marketing plan or one-on-one consultation.
If your business needs a deeper strategy, I'll let you know what I'd recommend as your next step — but there's absolutely no obligation to work with me further.
HI, I'M ALANA
Hi, I’m Alana, founder of The Novel Assistant.
One of the biggest things I've noticed when talking to authors is that when sales slow down, the immediate reaction is often:
I need more followers.
I need to post more.
I need to run ads.
I need more people to see my book.
But visibility isn't always the problem.
Sometimes readers are already finding you — they're just getting lost somewhere between discovering you and buying your book.
That's why I created the Mini Author Business Audit.
I'll look at your business from the outside, like a potential reader would, while also looking at it through a sales and marketing lens.
Then I'll tell you where I'd focus first.
