Meet Nicole

Remember the decision you made to start writing? Maybe you started at an early age by writing short stories. At some point you were all eager and excited to plot out a full on book.📖 Not really knowing what it all involved, you took the plunge and jumped in.

Now that you are a full time writer, have published a few book series, and you’re absolutely in love with what you do, you find yourself working around the clock. ⌚ Because being a writer is more than just telling your stories.

Hardly the life you imagined, right? You need some help with the promotion of your books, creating and repurposing your content to get your books sold, because you want to go back to your talent, what you love to do most: Writing! ✍

That’s where I come in. Hi, I’m Nicole. I’m your content repurposing specialist  🙋‍♀️ and I can take those writing and repurposing tasks off your plate so you can go back to doing what you love most. I love to work behind the scenes, and together we can make your business an even bigger success than it already is.

A little bit about me

Since an early age, I have been reading books. In our little village, we had a small library, my friends and I would visit as often as we could. But going to town a few kilometers away to visit the big library was a treat! So many books, and which to take home with me?

During college, I studied 4 languages (Dutch, English, German, and French). I had to read a lot of different books and so I developed more of a preference for certain genres. 📚

When my three kids were born, being a mom was a busy period and my nose was found in the children’s books during story time. There was not much time left for my own reading. Occasionally I fell asleep with the nightlight on 💡 and my book beside me in bed (together with my husband, don’t worry!).

Our family is still reading a lot. Our bookcases are full with all kinds of books and there are three rows behind each other to be found in most places. I’m so glad I discovered online reading and audio books!

Suffice to say, I love to read and I love books! 🥰

Books everywhere!

And you know what I love as well? Marketing. Alongside with languages, I’ve studied marketing in college and later on took several marketing courses to keep up with the latest developments.

Within NvG Virtual Services, I’m combining the two, books and marketing. Being able to help indie authors sell more books and become visible to a bigger audience is my mission.

Helping female authors with writing and repurposing content is what I love to do. So with me on board, you are set to grow your business, expand your reach, while having time again to focus on writing your next book.   

You have time again to spend with your loved ones after your work is done for the day. Or dive into some reading of your own. Let me take care of the content creation. 😉

Reach out to me if you have any questions about how I can help you with your content creation and visibility. Or if you are good to go and ready to work together…

Either way, I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

I bought this audiobook as part of a promotion on Audible. Normally I'm not really a fan of psychological thrillers, but this one was brilliant. ⁠
⁠
What a cunning plan! It was hard to take off my headphones. I liked the story lines and the perspective of both women, Beth and Amber. At first glance they are much alike, but once you get to know them, they are total opposites of each other.⁠
⁠
I listened to the audiobook, and although I liked the British accent, I would have liked the narrator to have brought more variety into the different characters. But that was the only shortfall in this audiobook.⁠
⁠
I also appreciated the epilogues where we jump ahead in time. I'm always curious how the characters are doing afterwards. I didn't expect the end, it was a true plot twist in my opinion. Loved it!⁠
⁠

Have you read or listened this book too? 👇️⁠

A two letter word can up your productivity drastic A two letter word can up your productivity drastically . NO! ⁠
⁠
Imagine: You're working on a story-line and you're all focused and in the zone. Then the door to your office swings wide open and one of your family members (spouse, kids, doesn't matter) has a request. ⁠
⁠
You sigh, maybe even roll your eyes because with your back to the door they won't see it anyway, turn around and with a smile plastered on your face say... but yes, let me take a look at that for you. ⁠
⁠
Sounds familiar, right?⁠
⁠
I get it, this is a hard one for most of us. We women, want to accommodate everyone around us. And sometimes that disturbs your working day. ⁠
⁠
Learn to say no to unimportant requests from others, including your family. Your kids can accomplish a lot more than you give them credit for. It’s just easier when mom does it. ⁠
⁠
And saying yes to lunch with a friend because you’re home anyway, takes a lot more time than eating a salad at your own kitchen table. ⁠
⁠
It's time to say no during writing hours. It's not selfish, it's ok, and you can do it!⁠
⁠
⁠
⁠
Do you find it hard to stay productive all the tim Do you find it hard to stay productive all the time?⁠
⁠
I mean, that book is not gonna write itself. And it's not gonna magically appear in the hand of your readers, right?⁠
⁠
Optimal productivity during the day is something we all strive for. But believe me, it's incredibly hard from time to time. I'm no stranger to it either. ⁠
⁠
Time blocking is a planning technique perfect to avoid multitasking and to hold your concentrating longer. ⁠
⁠
Combine it with the Pomodoro Technique of working for 50 minutes followed by a 10-minute break, you’ll notice you get more done during your working hours.⁠
⁠
I've also heard authors call it "sprints". You write for 25 minutes followed by a 5-minute break. You can do this on your own but for a little more accountability, you can work with other authors. ⁠
⁠
Get together on Zoom and write silently for 25 minutes. Then talk to each other in those 5-minute breaks about things you ran into, a little breakthrough you had while writing, or just how things are going. ⁠
⁠
It works wonders having someone at the other end of the screen and "watching" what you do. ⁠
⁠
Stay tuned for more tips to keep your productivity high and get your next book written.⁠

⁠
Audiobooks are perfect to listen to while doing housework, sitting in the bus, driving your car, or doing garden work. Or even just before going to sleep! ⁠
⁠
"Call me Maybe" from Cara Bastone was such a fun listen! I really liked the conversation between the main characters, Vera and Cal.⁠
⁠
It was like listening in on their telephone call. And especially the background sounds made it even more vividly! ⁠
⁠
In the beginning we only hear their conversation, but while the book prolongs, we get to hear what Vera and Cal are thinking as well. ⁠
⁠
Cara writes on her blog: "Stories out loud make the characters come along with you, wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. Because you can go about your daily life while listening along, these characters become your companions. Stories told out loud are company. "⁠
⁠
I couldn't agree more with her. This audiobook was one out of the ordinary and a definite recommendation from me to everyone. ⁠

Have you read this book too? 👇️⁠
