Hey there!
My name is Roz Kelly. I currently reside in the south of England. I have lived in various places across the UK as well as in the Middle East, and travelled all over the world. |
Why am I qualified to help you?
1. I'm a self-published author |
|
In October 2017 I self-published my first novel, an epic fantasy called Melokai. Apart from employing a professional editor and a professional book cover designer, I did everything else myself. I learnt all about marketing and advertising books, formatting and producing ebooks as well as how to format my manuscript for paperback printing. Ran Facebook ads and Amazon ads, booked promotions, organised author newsletter swaps, joined Bookfunnel and Instafreebie bundles and giveaways. Set up my website, social media channels, reached out to bloggers and reviewers, attended conventions and events, as well as blogged regularly on my site and as guest posts. You can check out my author website by clicking here. |
2. I have ALMOST 15 years background in marketing |
|
My career is in marketing / PR / social media / copywriting. For a decade after I left university, I worked for marketing agencies in London, Manchester and Dubai, and my clients were some of the world’s biggest brands. I have been a marketing freelancer for the past four years, working for authors, entrepreneurs, SMEs and large, multi-national businesses. |
3. I'm Crazy efficient |
|
As well as continuing to market book one and two of my fantasy trilogy, writing the final instalment of that trilogy, and writing a new novel in a different genre, I manage my author services clients, work as a freelance copywriter and marketing consultant. I’m busy, but I’m supremely organised and productive with a laser-sharp focus on attention to detail. Some say it’s weird. I also love a challenge, so HIT ME with yours! |
4. i'm an Avid reader |
|
I have a University degree in English Literature and Language, where I had to read at least one book a week (usually a big fat one), and have been an avid reader since I can remember. I’m also a book blogger and review books of all genres on my blog here. |
