Hey…
What’s HEY AUTHOR?
With a team of bestselling authors and experienced publishing professionals, we are a one-stop shop for authors at every stage of their journey.
Navigating the publishing world - whether you’re publishing traditionally or self-publishing - isn’t easy. As people who have worked on both sides of the curtain, we know all too well that this is a cloak-and-dagger kind of industry. We started HEY AUTHOR to help aspiring, emerging, and even established authors navigate their author careers, offering services across all facets of publishing.
Why HEY AUTHOR?
The HEY AUTHOR mentor team has been handpicked to give you access to authors who are among the best in their fields. We have authors repping almost all major publishing categories and genres ready to offer mentoring services to help improve your work. We also have a team of high-calibre editors and publishing professionals with years of in-house experience. Whether you’re looking for someone to provide a manuscript assessment or a full edit of your manuscript, need some advice or want to pick the brain of a published author, we’re here to help.
Our authors represent most major publishing categories, ensuring that whatever you’re writing - whether it’s a children’s book, non-fiction novel or a romance and everything in between - we’ll have an author ready to offer tailored advice based on your chosen niche.
We also have publishing professionals with experience across all facets of publishing. Whether you need some extra hands to help with your marketing and publicity efforts, querying, editing, or generally navigating the traditional or indie publishing industry, our team can help.
Who are we?
HEY!Hey, we’re Isabel and Ashleigh - two former colleagues at one of Australia’s biggest publishing houses. We worked together in different departments for several years before both heading our own way. Ashleigh as an author of traditionally published children’s books and Isabel as a publishing consultant offering her expertise to authors at various stages of the journey.
Both incredibly passionate about the publishing industry, we decided to join forces, combine our experience and skills, and offer a full-service offering to authors at every stage of the journey. We’re joined by some of Australia’s best authors across multiple publishing categories who share our passion for helping Australian stories thrive.
