It is now very easy to write and publish your own book. But even if you find an agent and a publisher, you still need to market and promote your book yourself. I’m going to teach you how to do that and we will have 6 full months together to get it all done.

Over the next 6 months, you will go through the lessons in the GPS Author Academy Program and progress through writing, publishing, and promoting your book.  I’ll be there with you and this is what you will receive:

• Course material includes videos, audios, worksheets, and live & recorded calls, all materials can be downloaded to your personal digital media devices and/or computer
• Coaching in all areas of book writing, editing, proofing, publishing, marketing and platform creation
• Course is in a members only area accessed via a login so everything is secure and private
• 2 Q&A and coaching calls a month plus you have the option to sign up for virtual office hours coaching
• Two 30 minute personal calls with Jennifer to discuss your Book Basics and how to platformize it (a $695 value)
• A private members only facebook where you can meet with other authors
  
• Two live weekend (Friday-Sunday) Master Classes to work on your book and strategize your platform (location and dates TBA)
• Jennifer will conduct a live video/audio interview with you for your book which you can use for your marketing purposes

PLUS an Extra BONUS – interviews with publishing industry professionals who will share their tips and advice with you, including a very special interview with the developer of the book formatting software that made my first self published book possible – and I still use it today. In fact, I just published  my 7th book and used that book template to format my book for printing (it’s one of the resources I will share with you in the GPS Author Program).

How did I become a 6 time best selling self published author? Here’s the story of my 6 books and the stories behind them. If you’re ready to write your book then I hope you’ll join the GPS Author Academy. Note that my first book took me nearly a year to write and I was almost too scared to publish it. My last two books were written and published in a weekend. You can do this too and I can show you how.
