About Chelle Honiker

Caffeinated Automations Consultant – Systems Thinker – Writer – Speaker – Mama – Mimi – Founder

I help authors and creatives build smarter systems so they can spend less time on tech—and more time creating.

As the publisher of Indie Author Magazine and founder of Direct2Readers and Indie Author Training, I focus on making the business side of storytelling simpler. I also write Author Automations, a weekly newsletter that turns tools like Zapier, n8n, and WordPress into time-saving magic.

I’m an automation coach and consultant for hire, offering everything from plug-and-play workflows to guided implementation, done-for-you systems, and enterprise-level solutions.

Whether I’m teaching, speaking, or coding a workflow, I make complex systems feel doable—and even a little fun. Based in Austin, often on a train, always fueled by coffee.
