What is a Virtual Publishing Assistant (VPA)?

When you partner with Cheryl as your VPA, she'll help guide you through your publishing project regardless of where you choose to publish your book!

As a professionally trained Author's Assistant, Cheryl is highly skilled at working in collaborative relationships in a virtual environment. While Author's Assistants are not new to publishing, working with a Virtual Publishing Assistant (VPA) on your book project provides a new twist: the perfect solution for someone choosing to self-publish a book through a Print-On-Demand (POD) service, or establish themselves as a publisher to self-publish their book.

Cheryl's background in print production combined with her experience as a self-published author, means she has the knowledge and skills to coordinate your project whether you choose to utilize digital POD technology, or print your book on an offset press.

Regardless of where you are with your project -- just starting to write, or ready to publish -- Cheryl can help make your book dream a reality.
