I absolutely love this article, especially the invitation to peek behind the scenes and then click through to see to what ended up on the sales page! There are so many nuggets of wisdom and encouragement here and I am so grateful that you're writing these kinds of pieces. I'd sign up in a heartbeat, but alas, I am teaching creative writing at Smith this July (oh how I'd love to hear your perspective on the "business" of working as an adjunct!). Thanks for these generous posts that I can snack on while waiting until I have enough free time to enroll in the certification...

This post is worth its weight in gold. I *love* seeing you out in this space talking about pricing, up on your soapbox delivering rock-solid wisdom about the (staggering) value a well-trained book coach brings to a writer’s publishing journey.

That, and you’re pretty much the only person I’ve seen who actually writes “Don’t expect miracles” on their sales page. It’s that straight-shooting groundedness that earns my respect over and over again.

I came to Author Accelerator to deepen my learning about helping writers create their best possible book—and certainly have done—but even beyond the exceptional curriculum, the business support is unparalleled. I could’ve picked any of ten different career-enhancing programs in the literary space, but DAMN am I glad I found my way to this one 🪩
