Author School gives you the support, information, and inspiration you need
to navigate the world of writing - from pen to published!

Who is Author School for?

"I have an idea for a book but I don't know if it’s viable."
"My manuscript is almost done, but I don't know how to get in in front of publishers."
“I’ve heard about things like book proposals but don’t know what they are.”
“I just wish someone who knows the industry could give me a critique of my query letter.”
“I’m not sure if I should be pursuing agents or publishers—or both.”
"I'm wondering if I should try traditional publishing or go the self-publishing route." 

If you've ever said these things, Author School is for you!

If you want to get published but don't want to spend months or years of trying to figure out the system, Author School will get you ready to immediately jump into the fray with confidence and professionalism. No more asking all your friends for advice. No more surfing the internet for answers. It’s all in one place.
