Very helpful video [on series sell-through], it's always good for us to think about sell-through! I spent a long, long time not paying a bit of attention to it. Once I started to look at it critically, it made all the difference.

Publishing Mindset Toolkit is for you if...

  • You've struggled to gain momentum to take your books to publication.
  • You want a business-positive mindset shift to help you take your publishing business in a strategic new direction.
  • You're looking for a big-picture explanation of where money comes from in publishing so you can make your publishing business profitable.

Publishing Mindset Toolkit may not be for you if...

  • You want small-group publishing business coaching: I lead regular Book Boss Strategic Intensives which will be a better fit.
  • You don't believe that publishing is a business to be built up in its own way. I want to help you embrace business strategy in your publishing, so if you want to avoid that at all costs then this course isn't for you!

FAQs

YES! My mindset work with authors in both our From Written to Recommended VIP Author Community and our Book Boss Strategic Intensives has proven time and again that positive and strategic publishing business mindset is helpful to authors at any stage of their careers. Mindset work has helped new, experienced and pivoting authors, and indie, trad and hybrid publishing authors alike.

Not at all. The principles of publishing mindset can be applied to a work in progress as well as a completed manuscript, though of course you will find yourself paying attention to publishing differently when you’re at the point where you’re ready to publish.

Most genre fiction. I specialize in romance, mystery and women’s fiction, so I use a lot of examples of those genres, but my courses work for anyone writing any sub-genre of romance, mystery, thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, etc.

While my mindset work isn’t specifically geared toward nonfiction writing, nonfiction writers may find the course beneficial, so you sure are welcome to take it!

Publishing Mindset Toolkit for Authors is presented with closed captions, and transcripts are added to each lesson for both hearing impaired authors and authors who learn best by reading.

We also endeavor to make all digital text content accessible to screen readers.
