ABOUT
ZENA

Hi, I’m Zena—romance reader with a business brain.

This site is where my love for the book world meets my passion for smart strategy. I'm an enthusiastic member of the romance community, and I’m now looking to bring that energy and insight to a team that helps authors thrive.

With a background in nonprofit management and sales strategy, I’m eager to support author-focused businesses with marketing, operations, and behind-the-scenes business magic—especially in the romance space I know and love.

I’m currently looking for opportunities as an Author Assistant, Personal Assistant, or Virtual Business Manager. If you’re an author (or work with authors) and need someone organized, creative, and deeply in tune with this genre—I’d love to connect.

Let’s turn great stories into great success.

This is Zena! A curvy woman with curly red hair wearing a blue blazer and black shirt, smiling and holding onto a white handrail, standing next to an orange train car with black and rust details.

Work that Works!
