About

Hello and welcome to Bookish Bear Services.
My name is Cheryl.
As a working wife and mother, I understand how busy life gets, and how you can struggle to find the time to do everything required. This is something I can assist you with, leaving you more time to spend with family and friends, and lifting that additional weight from your shoulders.
The best part of all of this? I’m an avid reader and, after thirty years of administration roles across multiple industries, I’m ready to put these skills to good use as I return to my passion: BOOKS.
Whether you need social media and promotional help, beta readers, or everyday administration support, I can do it all. In fact, I’ve already been doing all these duties and more on a volunteer basis for the last five years. As a qualified genealogist, I’m also well placed to help with any research needs.
When I am not working on my business, you’ll find me reading, writing, travelling, doing research on my ancestry, volunteering, or spending time with my family and friends. More recently, I‘ve been enjoying popping up at author signings across the country. I'm a huge believer in supporting local authors – whether self-published or not. I am a member of varying ARC Teams (Advanced Reader Copy) and have assisted authors with beta reading their works.
If you would like to know more about my services, please reach out so we can discuss your requirements.
I look forward to helping to support you and your author dreams.
Cheryl Farinola
