Let's start
strong.
Denise, I appreciate you being upfront about where you are right now. That kind of honesty makes it so much easier to build something that actually fits.
I've restructured this as a phased engagement that works within your budget. Phase 1 covers three focused areas: manuscript intake and editorial coordination, design and formatting team management, and meeting coordination. These are the operational foundations that will create the most immediate relief.
When you're ready to grow, Phase 2 brings in full social media management and content repurposing. The systems we build in Phase 1 make that expansion seamless.
We've structured this engagement around how Bold Publishing is already built. Our role is to coordinate and support the people you already have in place — not replace them.
Phase 1: Foundation
Three focused service areas to get the most critical operations running smoothly from day one.
A clear intake process so every manuscript is received, logged, and routed to the right editor without you in the middle of it.
- Set up and manage a standardized manuscript submission inbox or intake form
- Log all incoming manuscripts in a shared tracker with status and deadlines
- Assign and communicate with editors based on your routing guidelines
- Follow up on editorial timelines and flag delays proactively
Multi-timezone teams need more than a calendar invite. We handle the logistics for one monthly team meeting so it runs smoothly and actually moves things forward.
- Schedule and coordinate one monthly team meeting across time zones
- Prepare and distribute agendas in advance
- Take notes and send clear action item summaries after each call
- Track follow-through on action items between meetings
Keeping your cover design and formatting teams moving without you as the constant go-between.
- Serve as the point of contact for design and formatting vendors
- Brief contractors with project details, specs, and deadlines
- Manage revision rounds and approvals through to completion
- Maintain a project tracker so nothing gets stuck in limbo
Once the foundation is solid, this service area is ready to activate at any time — no new onboarding required.
Phase 1 pricing.
A focused retainer that gets the most important work done first, with room to grow when the time is right.
- Manuscript intake & editorial routing
- Meeting scheduling across time zones
- Shared manuscript tracker & status log
- Agenda prep & action item summaries
- Dedicated team point-of-contact
- Monthly check-in with your Account Manager
- Project & task management setup
- Onboarding & SOP documentation
A 30-day onboarding period applies at the start of our engagement to map your workflows, set up systems, and align the team to your standards. This is included in the monthly rate.
From yes to running in four steps.
We spend 30 to 45 minutes getting into the specifics of how Bold Publishing runs today, what's working, and where the friction is.
Once you're ready, we sign a service agreement, process the first month, and schedule your onboarding kickoff call.
We learn your people, your tools, and your preferences. We document your workflows, build your SOPs, and set up the systems that will keep everything running smoothly.
Your team is operational. You get weekly updates, a monthly check-in, and a team that keeps things moving without you needing to chase.
