Write. Publish. Profit. Masterclass
You Want to Write a Book But You Don’t Know Where To Start
Start with a problem you can solve for someone else. A problem you’ve solved for yourself makes it easier for you to understand the challenges your reader will face and the obstacles that are preventing them from achieving the results they desire.
Writing a Book Doesn’t Have To Take a Long Time
With the right guidance, support, and instruction, writing a book can be done in a matter of days. A book of 60,000 words or less can be written, edited, and published in 40 days (or less).
Getting Published Has Never Been Easier
Print-on-demand publishers make getting your finished book out into the world easier and more accessible than ever before. We’ll be discussing the steps you need to take to get your book published.
Real Authors Don’t Self-Publish
Joseph Malick. Kendall Harrison. Darcy Patterson. Amanda Hocking. Ashwin Sanghi, best-selling author of The Razabal Line, and E.L. James, best-selling author of 50 Shades of Grey. These are all names of authors with big followings who have chosen to bypass the traditional publishing route in favor of self-publishing. Real authors DO self-publish.
Writing Your Book Is the First Step.
Gone are the days when traditional publishers would do your marketing for you. Traditional publishers expect you to come with your fan base already built. They want you to have a group of people ready, eager, and waiting to buy your books because the truth is that 7 out of 10 books they take on never makes more than the advance on royalties that they pay out.
Best-Selling Books Don’t Happen By Accident
When it comes to a best-selling book, it’s about the sales per week, not the content in the book. There are plenty of books on the market with sub-par writing that made it to best-seller status because they had the write marketing machine in place.
People Buy Books For The Results, Not the Author
You don’t have to be famous to have a book that sells well. What you do have to do is understand why people buy books in the first place and how to deliver what they want.
About The Class
This will be an 8-week online class.
Each Monday, we will meet at 7 pm CDT via a Zoom link that will be provided to you upon enrollment.
By the time you leave our masterclass, you will have:

- A rough outline that you can use to begin writing your book and the strategies to get from chapter one to done.

Each session will be recorded and made available to students.
