Need help with your author-related tech?

I’m a former Microsoft MVP and I can help you with the following services:

Email Newsletter DNS Alignment/Newsletter deliverability: You’re absolutely welcome to try to use my guide here instead! But if it doesn’t work for you, or you just don’t feel like messing with it, I can help you with that. I’ve done this for myself (obviously lol) but also for Broad Universe, and used to do it at my day job. It looks like $30 an hour is the going rate on Upwork, so… sure. How many hours is that? I can probably knock it out in an hour or two.

Lay out your print book: I would be happy to do this for you. You can look at my own book interiors here. I use Scribus, and it’s kind of fiddly but I really like the results. I can do your epub as well if you like. Let’s say $30 an hour for plain but pretty and $40 an hour if you have custom chapter headings, and $50 an hour if you have inline illustrations. How many hours is that? That depends on how long your book is.

Set up your online shop: I’ve only really set up my own, but I did ecommerce web design for a very long time. Let’s say Payhip with digital items only, $30 an hour; Payhip with integrations (for example: to Bookfunnel and Bookvault), $50 an hour. I can also help you with Shopify or WooCommerce, but am most familiar with Payhip. Perhaps I can temporarily knock $5 off to set you up with Shopify or WooCommerce on the grounds that I’ll have a learning curve to start (so $25 for digital products only and $45 for integrations). How many hours is that? That depends on how many products you have.

Fix your wordpress site: I’ve been a WordPress user since 2011. Let me know how broken your site is and I’ll let you know what it costs to fix it. 😉

Do you have a teeny tiny Azure Entrata/O365 setup, or part time SQL Server work? Need help with Google Workspace? I might be your girl; this sort of thing has traditionally been my jam. $100 an hour. I do not want to travel to your office. If you are a nonprofit, make that $50, especially if your focus is helping women, children, or animals and/or is Jewish-related.
