Description

As an author, I've spent countless hours on my books: writing, formatting, creating eye-catching cover designs, and so much more. Turns out, there are a lot of steps that go into creating a professional, high-quality book and getting it into the hands of readers! And of course, while many authors are great at writing, few know how to navigate the complex and overwhelming world of marketing.

Indie Academy is more than just a course. It's a community. Learning each step of the self-publication process is incredibly valuable; however, creating a professional book all on your own is highly challenging and time-consuming. We are creating a community of authors who support one another in every step: writing, mindset, editing, formatting, cover design, author website creation, and marketing. Learn the skills, practice on your own book or help authors with theirs, and assemble your street team for a successful launch.

No longer do we need to focus on self-promotion. Receive feedback from me, your instructor, and other authors as you prepare your book for publication. Then, reach out to your network of authors to help you promote your book across various social media channels, courses, podcasts, etc. You will also help other authors promote their books.

Because this course is still in its beginning stages, you get to help shape its material! Let me know what you'd like to learn, and I'll make a tutorial, just for you!

Who this course is for:

  • Creative and practical writers who would love to see their books published, but don't want to spend tons of money in the process.
  • Moms who love writing but struggle to find the time and money to develop their books and take them to publication.
