Virtual Assistant for an author

I am a self-published author of children’s books and graphic novels based in London. I am looking to get a virtual assistant who can research and contact potential clients in the UK. 1. CHILDREN’S BOOKS The children’s books are aimed at 4-7 year olds, the potential clients will be Primary schools based in London. The role consists of: 1. Identifying primary schools in London through strategic searches (via google and other directories). 2. Phone and email communication with each school to tell them more about my work and arrange an ‘Author visit’ to the school. 2. GRAPHIC NOVEL The graphic novel has a second world war theme and is aimed at both adults and older children/teens with an interest in that period of history. The potential clients will be history departments of Universities and colleges based in London. The role consists of: 1. Identifying history departments of Universities and Colleges in London through strategic searches (via google and other directories). 2. Phone and email communication with each history department to tell them more about my work and arrange an ‘Author visit’ to the school. GENERAL Fluent spoken English is essential. Create a basic list of potential clients in MS Excel I will provide basic training/ checklists and hands on support initially but I expect the successful candidate to be a 'self starter', someone who can take initiative and learn on the job. In addition to the rate, I will pay a bonus of £20 for each school/university/college visit arranged. This will be an ongoing role for the right person.
