My goal is to help you write a novel, build your author platform, and launch and market your book in 18 months. This is an accelerated program because I want you to get results fast—but not at a pace that kills you or generates sloppy results.

The first six months are spent developing your writing craft as you create your characters, plot, and begin to draft your novel. During this time you’ll have video courses on writing craft, handouts to guide your planning, and bi-weekly one-on-one calls with me for feedback.

That means for the first four to six weeks you’ll be in training and beginning to develop your characters and plot. I estimate you’ll put in 8-10 hours a week.

The next 18 to 20 weeks you will be drafting and revising with bi-weekly one-on-one calls with me. This is the most intensive part of the writing process where you will be putting in 10-12 hours a week.

Phase 2: Building Your Author Platform kicks off the next six months in your journey. This phase will involve a variety of training videos as you explore options for growing an author platform and learn the how and why behind each piece that forms a solid platform to launch from.

During this time, you’ll continue to schedule bi-weekly one-on-one calls with me for feedback and assistance. There are many moving pieces to your author platform, so I estimate you will spend 8-10 hours a week building it.

Phase 3: Launching and Marketing is the most exciting part of your journey as you put all of your hard work into action and watch it take off. However, this can also be the most intensive.

You’ll be creating swipe copy and images to share with your launch team, drafting and scheduling email campaigns and social media posts, scheduling podcast interviews, and creating ads. This part of the phase will take 12-14 hours a week to accomplish.

When you break the time down, you are looking at spending anywhere between 2-4 hours a day working on writing your novel, building your author platform, and launching and marketing your book. That sounds manageable to most of us, right? Especially when you look at the return on your time investment.

Many times, our writing gets stuck in hobby land, and we soon realize this hobby is draining our personal funds.

What if you invested those funds not only into your writing skills, but in your knowledge and skills to make a profit from your writing?

Sounds like a pretty good return on your investment, right? That’s because it is. The LiteraryScape Author Mentorship doesn’t just help you craft a great novel, it gives you the knowledge and tools to make a profit off the sales of your book. Not only that, but you walk away with the ability to replicate this process for every book you write.

This is a great question and one I want to answer honestly because I didn’t build this program with a profit mindset, but rather a servant’s mindset.

Yes, I want to make a profit from this program to pay the bills, but my number one focus is you and helping you reach success in your author career.

With that being said I do not offer a money back guarantee.

I have no doubt that if you put the hard work in and continue to effectively utilize the knowledge and skills you gain from my mentorship, you will not only earn back what you’ve invested but you’ll go beyond it.

Think of it as college. Many of us invested $40,000 or more in our careers when we attended college. Never did we expect to earn that money back as soon as we graduated.

The LiteraryScape Author Mentorship is a five-figure investment in your author career that will pay you back over time.

Please note that I do NOT suggest you go into debt with my mentorship program. I do have the total cost broken into manageable monthly payments. This is something we can discuss during your discovery call.

That’s wonderful! You’ll be able to start on Phase 2 right away.

I realize that everyone is entering this program at a different starting point and each person moves at their own pace. Therefore, you have access to all three phases from the start of your mentorship. This allows you to move to the section you are ready for.

I have also built in what I like to call check-up appointments every six months. This allows both you and me to evaluate how things are going and what the next best step is for you.

It really is a win-win for everyone!

Both!

The mentorship is primarily designed for authors seeking to publish independently but prepares those who want to be traditionally published as well.

You’ll finish the mentorship with the knowledge and skills to publish, market, and sell your books independently. You can use those same skill sets to develop a proposal, platform, and marketing plan that is irresistible to agents and publishers.

I love to support and encourage authors as they seek to publish the stories God has laid on their hearts. So, whether you want to publish independently or traditionally, I’m here to help!
