AuthorHQ workflow guide
Author assistant management software for clearer handoffs
Supporting an author means keeping work moving while leaving the right decisions with the author. AuthorHQ puts tasks, approvals and publishing context in a shared workspace so a handoff includes more than a message saying “done”.
Start freeTurn requests into work with an owner
Create a task for the action, add its due date and assign responsibility. Keep the details with the task so the author and assistant can return to the same record when priorities or timing change.
Make decisions visible
Request an approval when work needs a decision, and keep decision notes with that request. This is useful for promotional content or launch preparation where the assistant can prepare the work but the author needs to approve the next step.
Match access to the working relationship
Team Space supports collaborator permissions and access scopes. Free accounts are individual workspaces; Pro workspaces can invite up to three additional users. Review the current plans before organising a team, and choose access appropriate to each person’s responsibilities.
How this could work in practice
An assistant preparing launch content can save the Canva or Google Drive link, track the preparation task and request approval. The author records a decision in the workspace, giving both people a clear place to check before the content is used.
