A Change You Should Know About

Y’all I am exhausted.

Not by helping people write books, because that’s what I love to do.

But by explaining over and over and over again what it takes to get a book published.

Mostly for free, and most often to folks who feel disappointed, discouraged, or even angry with me about the reality of book publishing.

Which is this: You must have an audience for your book to be commercially viable.

Note the part about being “commercially viable” — which to me means that a literary agent and traditional publisher will be interested in working with you because they believe your book will sell thousands and thousands of copies.

Let me be clear: Having a commercially viable book doesn’t happen because you have a great idea. It happens because you have an audience and proven content that gets results for thousands of people … before a book is out in the world.

And I’m happy to help you with that — when you’re ready to take that on.

In the past year, my team and I have talked directly to over 200 people.

And that doesn’t count me responding to your emails and DMs, writing (hopefully) helpful emails, and sharing what I know on social media.
