    The average U.S. nonfiction book is now selling less than 250 copies per year and less than 2,000 copies over its lifetime. 

    This course will teach you how to build your career from scratch and will give you an inside look at how top-selling authors successfully position themselves in a competitive market.

    Starting with a feature from one of the world's most high-profile literary agents ($3 billion in sales for his authors), this course will take you through how to start from scratch, register your first 1,000 sales, create your press materials, how to pitch desired media outlets successfully, and what you'll need to accomplish to catch the interest of big-time publishers.

    When you complete this course you will have the knowledge to create successful traction with your books, and have a clear understanding of how to get your career off the ground without paying publicists and marketers to do it for you. 

    Knowing how to move books, reach readers and attract publicity is a skill you simply must have to make a strong impression if you wish to do something magical with your dream. 

    Being able to pitch media with clarity, precision and elegance will also get you much further in any business endeavor. On the flip-side, not knowing how to attract an audience and command the attention of media influencers will always set you back. 

    Very few people are able to take their publicity and sales destiny into their own hands.

    This is a rare chance to discover how many top authors, publicists, agents, and publishers do their magic and to make your writing career catapult by incorporating their tactics.

    You'll discover these principles from an author with Penguin/Random-House whose first self-published book ended up selling over 25,000 copies, became required curriculum in public school districts throughout California, landed him on the TEDx stages, and got the attention of the world's largest english publisher for his next few books.  

    As authors we assume that if we pay publicists, marketers, or get lucky and get a publishing contract, then we will find success and reach our desired readers.That poor mentality is exactly what makes 95% of books fail to sell. 

    What if you knew how to bypass all that lame conditioning and suddenly reach media and readers? 

    Accomplished authors know a bunch of cool tricks that make their work get out to the world, and come back as paychecks and notoriety. 

    For the very first time, I reveal in intimate detail exactly how those authors achieve those astounding results.  

    In this course you will take one giant step forward toward author wizardry. So get the tactics that will help make your dreams come true. 

    You'll get up close to a bunch of techniques I've mastered by hanging around some of the world's top publicists, marketers and best-selling authors.

    The potent tactics, given here as easy-to-digest key principles alongside strategic exercises, will help transform your career into something you can make a living from. 

    You'll be armed forever with principles that can help you get your work out into the world.

    Do you struggle to gain publicity or sales? Have you wondered whether your lack of understanding the publishing business is holding you back? Do you assume you either will get lucky or you won't, and therefore don't bother to learn how the professionals build their careers?

    I'm here to tell you you can improve--and faster than you ever imagined!
