Virtual Assistant for Romance Authors
Elevate your author journey with Renee Brooks, VA:
Streamline your creative process, maximize your reach,
and focus on what matters - your writing!
I was born in the Philadelphia area of Pennsylvania and lived there for a substantial part of her life.
I now live in Florida for the warmer weather.
I have worked in the financial industry, manufacturing management, and employment recruitment. My many experiences have helped me operate
a company that assists romance authors in marketing, increasing sales, and raising interest levels in my client’s writings. I have worked
with romance authors for just over ten years managing the administrative tasks so they could spend more time writing.
In my spare time, I enjoy being able to spend time outdoors in sunny Florida, spending time with my pets, my children and grandchildren, and cooking.
