Hello, fellow book lover,
I’m Carolina Ousley.
Why I do what I do
A few years ago, I was chatting with an author who was overwhelmed by newsletter automations. Even after completing an email course for authors and hiring multiple freelancers, her newsletter setup was not working the way she wanted it to.
Since then, I’ve had conversations with other authors, who also struggle to learn the ins and outs of marketing best practices.
And that’s when I realized–my expertise could help her and other authors, like you.
Newsletter automation is only one of the ways I can support you. From developing your website to creating social media content for book promotion, I provide you the tools and support to amplify your stories and bring romance books, my favorite genre, to more readers.
With 16 years of experience in the world of corporate marketing, I’ve managed marketing tactics such as email, website, and events for hotel chains, as well as developed world-class social media marketing programs for technology companies. Over the course of my career, I’ve touched every aspect of marketing. And now I want to use that expertise I’ve gained, in an area I truly love, the world of romance.
“Carolina Ousley reads romance voraciously and speaks about it not only as a lover of the genre but also as a strategist who can position your author life in a better light. Carolina Ousely truly embodies the cheerleader you want in your corner but with the skills to make your life not only easier but more efficient and more fun.”

The Story of My Life
Meet Cute 📚
I fell in love with indie romance books in 2018 and haven’t been able to put them down since.
Badass Heroine 👩🏻🦱
I started in marketing 16 years ago in the hospitality industry. I have since worked for a variety of hotel brands and tech companies, managing social media, email, and general marketing.
Workplace Romance 👩🏻❤️👨🏻
I met my husband, Joe, while working in the hotel industry. We’re a real-life workplace, friends-to-lovers romance.
Plot Twist 👩🏻💻
During the pandemic, I started freelancing for independent authors by beta reading, setting up email automations, creating websites, and supporting book releases. I felt like I struck gold, aligning my passion (romance books) with my expertise.
Bonus Scene 💜
When I’m not reading, you can find me at Walt Disney World (most likely Epcot), in my local yoga studio, trying out new restaurants in Orlando, or posting on my bookstagram account: @curlupwithbooks.
I’m chasing my passion–let me help you chase yours.
