Let's talk about something that's been bothering you.
Many writers like you have struggled with challenges in this big process. We want you to know it's not your fault.
Navigating the intricacies of getting your book on the shelf can be overwhelming. You've got the spark, the story, the voice - yet you question everything. How do you make your work stand out? Where do you even begin? And what about your readers? What do they truly want, and how do you ensure that your masterpiece resonates with them? It's not easy when the landscape is ever-changing, and the target is elusive.
But here's the thing. The hurdles you've encountered aren't stumbling blocks. They're opportunities for growth and learning.
What you need now is a proven path. One filled with guidance, support, and clarity so that your writing experience is different this time.
At the end of this path lies the beautiful day you'll hold your book for the very first time.
You dream of sharing your book, but the journey of writing and publishing feels like a tricky puzzle.
You’re ready to start thinking about publication! And not any ordinary book publication. Our lessons are through the lens of the world's largest independently owned mind-body-spirit publishers. In the Published Author pathway, you’ll be:
- Getting to know how the publishing world works (from those who are on the inside)
- Refining your masterpiece with the help of an editor including how to hire one
- Understanding publication timelines and setting realistic expectations for publication day
- Designing the cover and interior pages of your book in a way that resonates with readers AND publishers
- Finding a literary agent so you can amplify your presence in the industry
- Looking into different ways to publish if you want to do it yourself while maintaining quality

- Transforming everyday experiences into storytelling gold
- Capturing the essence of your life’s story and weaving it into your book
- Organizing your writing time for optimal focus and productivity
- Bridging the gap between just writing and writing your book
- Embracing the power of your unique voice and breaking free from the hesitation to use it

- Mastering the art of writing an irresistible hook for your book that will attract readers, agents, and publishers
- Organizing your writing using strategies that only the best editors use for chapter flow and structure
- Choosing who you’re writing for and how to define your ideal reader audience
- Overcoming stalled writing progress using a new way to navigate blocks
- Creating an industry standard book proposal that publishers like Hay House won’t be able to resist
Pathway 2:
It takes a global leader to show you how to find readers for your book, so our approach is very strategic. In the Promoting Author pathway, your author identity begins to form as you're:
- Establishing best practices that will have you heading into publication day with a group of ready buyers
- Leveraging various online mediums to attract and amplify your reach as an author
- Enticing your reader list with a tool the industry uses time and time again for capturing leads
- Engaging your readers on a consistent basis with content that keeps them coming back for more
