Computer Support Blog

Thanks to the explosive popularity of digital readers and eBooks, more and more authors are choosing to self-publish through the web.  However, most of these authors don’t have all the necessary skills for getting a quality book out to the public.  Cover design, copyediting, eBook formatting, and marketing are all essential pieces of the publishing process that most writers aren’t going to be able to handle on their own.  That’s why cool person in technology Kelsye Nelson created Writer.ly, a website where authors can easily connect with freelance publishing professionals for the publishing tasks they can’t handle.

Nelson and her co-founder, Abigail Carter, met in writing group in their hometown of Seattle where they discussed the rise of self-publishing and formed the idea for Writer.ly in order to meet the needs of the many new self-publishing authors on the Internet.  Nelson is making sure that even those writers who have to call tech support for simple computer problems can still publish digitally with the help of freelance professionals that know the world of digital books.

Nelson’s website allows freelance publishing professionals to create profiles with their credentials.  Freelancers can then bid on jobs that authors post on the website.  Authors compare prices to each freelancer’s credentials and then select the best option for their situation.  Once a freelancer lands a job, they can manage it on the site from their profile.  This allows freelancers to manage multiple clients easily in one space on the website.  Nelson’s website acts as an open marketplace where writers can connect with the right professionals and hopefully make it easier to release high quality work.  If you have trouble using the Writer.ly website or setting up a profile, computer tech support should be the next thing you seek.

Nelson’s educational background is in both graphic design and writing.  She has an associate’s degree in the former and bachelor’s degree in the latter.  Most of her work prior to founding Writer.ly has been in brand marketing. She has worked in prominent marketing positions for companies such as Shell, TransACT Communications and Headsprout.  That marketing experience will be key in spreading the word about Writer.ly and growing the site’s network of both authors and freelancers.  It will be interesting to see how successful Nelson is as she continues to grow Writer.ly alongside the digital self-publishing market.
