Hi, I'm Annie Bucknall
I’m a freelance copywriter-designer and virtual assistant who loves helping authors clear their to-do lists!
You’ll find that I love doing the jobs you hate – writing and designing your newsletter, crafting an interesting author bio, scheduling your social media posts and even writing your blurbs and series bibles.
Working with me is like having your own tea-obsessed, tech-savvy specialised virtual assistant – one who is intimately familiar with the publishing industry, and understands your author brand.
As a copywriter/journalist, my work has graced the pages of Australia’s most read publications such as MindFood, The Sunday Paper, MamaMia, Mindful Parenting and more. With a background in marketing, I’ve helped small businesses attract customers and ghostwritten content for websites both locally and internationally.
Email me today to discuss my availability in supporting your author business.
