What Authors Are Saying
Chelle is smart as hell, and somehow that's only her second best quality! She could make ANY topic absolutely fascinating with her well-researched and relatably-delivered words. She's likeable, charismatic, and just plain fun, but Chelle also has something important to teach the author community at large. At may be scary but it's here to make our lives easier. You never have to touch it for writing or art (not if you don't want to), but you can still build in processes through Zapier and a host of other tools to help you stay organized and save more of your brain for the creative work you love. After hearing her speak at a conference I immediately booked a call to share my processes and pain points so Chelle could sprinkle some of her magic on it all. And we ALL need a little magic from time to time!

Chelle Honiker is one of the smartest women I've ever had the pleasure to meet, and she runs a Substack called Author Automations. She has automations that work with Zapier, Dropbox, BookFunnel, Notion, Drive, and more. She really is like a super-human with her knowledge about this stuff. She's amazing, and if this is something you've been thinking about or experimenting with too, Chelle's your girl.

Office Hours with Chelle Honiker happen in a fun and remarkably valuable space. Spontaneously, she draws from her incredible depth of hands-on experience to provide practical answers to participant's questions and issues. Not only does Chelle knowledgeably dominate the intersection between self-publishing, marketing, and social media, she provides enormous value to Indie Authors by helping us make sense of the chaotic maelstrom of online services that noisily and confusingly compete for our attention and dollars (e.g., CRM, social media, authoring, publishing, outreach, selling, and all the other uncountable offerings). Weekly Office Hours with Chelle are a 'MUST DO' on my over-crowded calendar…and recommended for yours too.
