FAQ

Is this only for Self-publishing authors?
NO. Anyone who needs to learn how to market their book and grow a business as an author will find this useful.

Do I have to have my book written to join?
Nope. These are the tools you need to grow your platform, ensure a well-produced book, and have a solid author business, but your book does not have to be finished. We'll provide writing accountability if you need it.

Can I do this at my own pace?
Yes! The coaching program goes at the pace of the modules, but if you need to take longer at any point, take your time. I will open the course materials in April and you can move ahead of the group if you need. But I'm certain you'll learn a thing or two in all the modules.

Is this only for someone who has never published a book?
NO! The publishing world grows and changes at a rapid rate. There is a ridiculous amount of information to KNOW to do this right. Heck, I'm still learning this stuff. Whether you haven't started your book or you've already published 1-2, if you're still trying to learn the things we are teaching, this will be a great fit for you. Plus, the additional coaching element allows me to tailor what students need to where they are in the process.

The Month by Month

You can take a peek at the curriculum below, although this is not a full list. We are constantly updating, adding, and adjusting based on our students' needs and changes in the publishing world.

It is important to note is that these outlined topics serve as the BASELINE. However, each month, we will hit heavily on marketing and developing the author platform and the author business. Because without those things in place, it doesn't matter if you have a good book. You need to be able to sell it. 

The cool thing about this program is that it's both self-paced and group-coached. Through 2 calls each month, you'll receive answers to your questions and guidance to help you implement. Plus you'll be able to go back to the training to review whenever you need it, or you can bypass the parts that you don't think are applicable. If you don't need help with editing, you can skip that and just work on the platform growth and author business elements we're covering that month.
