Hi! I'm Heather Roberts - an attorney and publishing professional. I own 1852 Media (a marketing firm for authors) and 1852 Literary (a literary agency).

I wanted to share a resource I’ve been building specifically for indie authors at the beginning of their publishing journey...Introducing THE PUBLISHING STORE! It contains DIY Courses for Authors with actual actionable content, worksheets and checklists. Best of all, I baked in some free (yes, actually FREE) resources for you to try me out before you buy!

👉 Free Course: Mastering Your Author Brand — helps you figure out how to stand out in a crowded market without wasting money on trial and error.
👉 Bonus Freebie: when you sign up for our newsletter, you also get my Author Business Readiness Checklist — a one-page guide that shows you what’s in place, what’s missing, and what to tackle next.
👉 Best Value: For anyone ready to dive right in, there’s the Publishing for Profit Bundle with all six of our core courses — everything from branding to marketing to ads to monetization.

I’ve been working with authors for ten years, and the #1 problem I see is that people jump into covers and ads without a solid brand or business foundation.

Since I can't post a link yet (yet!!!), I'll drop the link in the comments. So great to meet all of you!

Looking forward to the discussion,
Heather
Owner of 1852 Media, 1852 Literary & The Publishing Store
