You didn’t write a book to spend your days wrestling with email marketing platforms, podcast scheduling, or social media graphics. In this session, Abbey Ashley will teach nonfiction authors how to strategically hire and collaborate with a virtual assistant so they can focus on writing, speaking, and serving their audience.
Abbey will cover what tasks to delegate first, how to hire safely and confidently, what systems make remote collaboration simple, and how to ensure your VA becomes a trusted extension of your brand. Whether you’re overwhelmed by technology or simply ready to reclaim your time, you’ll leave with clarity on building the support your author career deserves.

She leads a community of more than 140,000 VAs and was named to Forbes Next 1,000 Up & Coming Entrepreneurs and Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Female Entrepreneurs.
After building her own successful virtual assistant business from scratch, Abbey discovered firsthand how powerful the right support can be for entrepreneurs, authors, and experts who want to focus on their zone of genius.
Today, she not only helps business owners strategically hire and work with virtual assistants, but also trains and equips VAs to provide high-quality marketing, tech, and operational support.
