Authors Are Asking For You: An Introduction to the Exciting World of the Virtual Author's Assistant

Sept. 30, 2009 - PRLog -- Los Angeles. This year Jan, former owner of Merritt Publishing, will be one of the featured speakers at the Online International Virtual Assistants Conference. Established in 2005 the OIVAC allows VAs from around the world to participate in unifying and educational activities.
By eliminating the traditional financial obstacles of travel, lodging, food and entertainment, the OIVAC offers an opportunity for VAs from around the globe to participate in value-packed, unique learning, training, networking and information-sharing experiences, conducive to the hectic schedules of work-at-home and virtual entrepreneurs.

This Convention is an opportunity for VAs to showcase their abilities, bond with their international counterparts, celebrate accomplishments and acknowledge trailblazers, leaders and VAs providing exceptional professional business support services, globally.


Jan will talk about becoming an author's assistant. The number of people who have become authors has almost doubled over the past five years with no downturn in sight. With some specialized training, a virtual assistant can boost her expertise (and her income) by taking on tasks that have been traditionally handled by publishing companies and publicists.
Do you like books and writing? Then becoming an author’s assistant may be the right next step for you. Stop wondering if you are doing all you can for your author, speaker, coach and entrepreneur clients and invest an hour in yourself to explore a brighter future for you and for them.

You will learn about the enjoyable and exciting work of the author’s assistant where and how to find author clients. You will hear about the experiences of current author's assistants and why they are glad they chose this niche.
