Behind Your Book · for indie fiction authors
Your readers buy your stories, not your spreadsheets.
I take care of everything that needs doing beyond the writing: your newsletter, launches, store listings, production schedules and the numbers. You get back to the book.
hi! that’s me ↓
Sound familiar?
You became an author to write. Somehow you also run a small publishing house.
Your list goes quiet between launches
With nothing new to sell, your readers hear nothing. By launch day, half of them have forgotten why they signed up.
Launch week runs you
ARC readers, promo sites, swaps, store pages, reminder emails. You have the plan. You don’t have the hours.
Everything lives in twelve places
Files, store listings, royalties, freelancers‘ invoices. Each one is small. Together they eat the time you meant for writing.
Start here
The Newsletter Highway
Your newsletter is the one thing that keeps readers close between books, and the first thing to go quiet when life gets busy. The Highway connects it to your blog and social media, so you write once, click once, and approve a few social drafts. That’s it.
most authors start here, then add more
Your part
1. Write
2. Send
3. Approve
the rest runs on its own
Everything Behind Your Book
What I can take off your desk
Pick one thing or hand over the whole back office. Either way, you decide how your books are run, and I make sure it happens.
Newsletter and readers
Sequences, regular issues, list care and your reader inbox.
Launch coordination
ARC teams, swaps, promo sites and launch week, run day by day.
Publishing and stores
Uploads, metadata, pre-orders and back matter, on every store.
Production management
Freelancers, schedules and files, so every book ships on time.
Series continuity
A series bible and style sheets that keep your world consistent.
Online presence
Website, author profiles and media kit, always current.
Business admin and numbers
Royalties, expenses and read-through on one page a month.
Rights and protection
A rights register and piracy takedowns, handled for you.
I do the work myself
Nothing is farmed out. The person you talk to is the person working in your accounts.
Your words stay yours
AI never touches your writing. Anything I write for you, you approve before it goes anywhere.
You own everything
I work inside your accounts, document every step, and your books, lists and files are always yours.
About the author
Hi, I’m Pia.
I write urban fantasy as P.S. Newman, and for ten years I’ve run the business side of other people’s businesses. Behind Your Book is where those two halves meet: I take care of the backend, so you can get back to the book.
