Nice to Meet You

Hey friend! I’m Anna.

I’m a Christian, wife, stay-at-home mom, homemaker, author of sweet romance and cozy fantasy, and the founder of Solar Stories.

I created Solar Stories for authors who want their books to feel personal, charming, and thoughtfully made. Every project is approached with care for the story, the reader, and the small details that turn a book into an experience.

About Anna

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!”

  • 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.

A Return to My Roots: I’ve rebranded This isn’t a sudden change or a sharp turn. It’s a return. Design has always been the quiet undercurrent of everything I do. It’s how I think. It’s how I see stories. And it’s
Marketing as an author can feel overwhelming. Social media trends change daily, algorithms shift, and everywhere you look, someone is promising the “secret” to instant visibility or viral growth. But if chasing every trend has left you bu
