Hi there, I’m Kelly Noel (they/them)!
Chai latte fan, Bridgerton fanatic, Book of the Month (BOTM) subscriber, and zealous designer & brand strategist.
Oh, and I’ve been a lifelong reader and writer. My Bachelor’s is in English: Writing, where I analyzed, critiqued, and wrote my fair share of fiction.
(In fact, I was even co-editor of my school’s literary magazine for 2 years, and my honor’s thesis involved me writing an original spicy dystopian novella.)
BUT, as a designer and brand strategist, I’ve seen too many talented authors struggle to make their mark.
It’s become harder to stand out because people’s attentions are shorter, and there’s SOOOOOO many things (including other books!) vying for readers’ attentions.
I created BrandCraft because I believe in empowering authors with the tools and knowledge to build their brand on their terms, without the steep price tag.
This course encapsulates the EXACT process I use with my brand strategy clients.
That means you get my 10+ years of experience with marketing, copywriting, and design, at an accessible price so you can easily elevate your author brand.
Ready to stand out from the noise?
Now’s the time for your author brand to shine!

I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly Noel Zeva through mutual acquaintances as I was looking for assistance with my online presence. As an emerging poet and artist, I felt I was not very visible online, nor did I have a good way to market my books and art effectively. Kelly Noel was immediately full of questions about my style, my work, and the kind of presence I wanted online.
From there, they absolutely ran with ideas and suggestions to craft me an amazing artist website complete with e-commerce, a calendar of events, and a mailing list engine for future newsletters. Kelly Noel was open to suggestions and feedback at every turn, so I felt like it was truly a good online reflection of myself and my work.
They also took the time to train me on the basics of my site so that I can update to add upcoming events, new art, and my forthcoming book, so the website is truly dynamic. I will forever be grateful to them for helping me present a truly professional face on the internet, and I know this is just the beginning of me being a more productive and present force online.
You’ve got questions?
Perfect, because I’ve got answers.
Q: Is this course suitable for beginners?
A: Absolutely! BrandCraft is designed to guide you through every step, making it perfect for beginners and seasoned authors alike. There’s over-the-shoulder tutorials for all the tech we use, and I’ve strived to make it as user-friendly as possible.
Q: How long do I have access to the course?
A: You’ll enjoy lifetime access to the core content of this course, including all future updates and additions. Should I choose to discontinue providing support and service to this course at some point in the future (I don’t foresee that), you’ll receive at least 30 days of notice.
Access to the premium aspects of this program (e.g., private podcast, Voxer office hours, Q&A calls, community forum) are available for an additional annual subscription.
Q: Do I have to be an author to take this course?
A: While there’s some content that is specific to authors, many of these principles apply to branding businesses in other industries. If you’re a solopreneur or entrepreneur looking to take your brand from DIY to dynamite, there’s a lot of value in this course. Simply skip the lessons that are specific to authors and author marketing.
If you’re not an author and want to make sure BrandCraft is right for you before purchasing it, please send us an email at kellynoel@yourbadassbiz.com.
Q: Do I need any special software?
A: Great question! I’m used to working scrappily, and you might be, too. Throughout this course, I’ll share tutorials for how to create your author brand using Canva, ChatGPT, Marketing Magic, and MidJourney. While I highly recommend Canva Pro because of the additional features it has, and I highly recommend Marketing Magic because of the time it will save you, you can ABSOLUTELY use the free version of ChatGPT and Canva if you’re just starting out and looking to save some money on expenses.
Please note: I am an affiliate for Marketing Magic, so if you do become a paying member, you’ll receive some Badass Bucks from me as a thank you for the commission I receive when you purchase from my affiliate link.
