Who This Workshop Is For
This workshop is designed for female authors who:
- Have finished a book (or are close!) and are ready to seriously treat their author life as a business.
- Feel a bit overwhelmed or anxious about the “business stuff” — websites, email lists, reader connection, money, legal.
- Are tired of feeling like they’re Googling their way through every single decision.
- Want to understand the big picture of what it takes to build a sustainable author career, without the hype or jargon.
- Are eager to learn foundational concepts that will save them time and stress in the long run.
Just the clarity you need for your journey.
