Transform Your Romance Novel Dreams into Reality with Love & Manuscripts Management!
Meet The
FOUNDER
My journey as an author led me through a labyrinth of uncertainty and doubt, navigating the treacherous waters of self-publishing with only a makeshift raft of advice and mentorship. Despite my best efforts, I found myself adrift, longing for the guiding hand of a seasoned navigator to steer me through the storm.
It was then, amidst the whirlwind of frustration and comparison to best-selling authors, that I had my epiphany: success in the literary world wasn't a solitary endeavor—it was a team effort. Traditional published authors were effortlessly navigating the publishing process with the support of dedicated teams. Drawing upon my experiences in the film industry and as a copywriter/virtual assistant, I realized that I possessed the skills and knowledge to be that guiding force for others embarking on their own publishing odyssey. With a deep understanding of the virtual landscape and a network of invaluable connections, I decided to embark on a new adventure as an Author Manager and created Love & Manuscript, determined to be the support system I wished I had during my own journey. So here I am, ready to be the wind in your sails and the anchor in your storm, guiding you through the tumultuous waters of self-publishing with skill, passion, and unwavering dedication.
