Karina Kantas
Hello. Thank you for stopping by my page.
I'm Karina Kantas I'm from the midlands in the UK.
I am a freelance writer, author of eight books and over 35 publications and I have been in this business for over twenty years.
I am proud to call myself an Indie author.
However, being independent comes with a lot of responsibilities that take time, skill and experience. All which I have.
And for this reason I now offer my time and experience to other Indie authors.
VIRTUAL ASSISTANT
My duties include, promoting the author and their book/s by taking over their social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. This then allows the author to have time to do what they do best, write!
I cannot guarantee sales. But I will promise that when our time is up, the author will be confident and competent to continue to promote their books successfully.
There is so much more I do as a VA such as designing banners and teasers, editing blurbs, checking and giving advice on the author's Amazon, website, blog and Facebook pages, to make them more reader friendly and attractive.
NARRATION
There is so much competition for authors especially on social media that it's getting harder to be noticed. Narration is used to sell audio books. But what about using narration as a promotional tool?
I narrate in video and audio. A small, up to six minutes excerpt from a book or story. This narration is not unique, but it does need to be crafted well. When done correctly it can be one of the strongest promotional tools an author can have.
The reading needs to tease and entice the listener/viewer into buying the book. This take time, patience and talent.
I narrate in all genres and will help the author choose the best excerpt to use.
BOOK TRAILERS
An author needs to have a book trailer that is eye catching, dramatic and will make the viewer want to go out and buy the book.
A thirty second or a ten minute trailer will NOT work. And you do NOT need to pay hundreds of pounds or dollars to get the job done.
It is my job to put the trailer together, tell your story in images, music and very little text.
If any of these services interest you and you would like to discuss them further, please get in touch via Facebook or my email.
