Nice to Meet You

Hey, friend! I’m Anna.

Author Brand Consultant

I’m the President and CEO of Solar Stories. I’m a wife, mom of two, homemaker, and author. But before all of that, I worked as a professional graphic designer and wedding photographer. And I’m using my expertise to train other authors to know how to have professional branding and design.

Who We’ve Worked With

  • “Anna Barroso [at Solar Stories] is one of the sweetest and most talented people I have ever met. When I had no idea what I was doing with my bookish goals, she gave me hope, and when I’d developed my idea but had no clue how to start, she showed me exactly what to do with immense patience and grace. She uses her own experience, skills, and market research to make each bookish project the best it can be. I highly recommend that anyone looking for a Bookish Executive Assistant book with Anna- you will not regret it!”

    Chelsey Gordon, Author of Echoes of Absense

  • Anna has such a huge heart for her clients. She takes such good care to get to know them so she can best capture their essence while expressing their vision. Working with Anna has been such a joy. I didn't always know how to express what I wanted or needed. Anna's prompt responses and collaborative spirit put me at ease immediately, and I ended up with a better product for it.

  • Both in and out of the literary world, Anna is a pure joy to work with. She is incredibly task-oriented and can predict your needs before you even know them yourself. Her ability to accomplish tasks is only matched by her love for people.
