Most Authors Build Backwards
The framework that puts strategy before tactics—so you build a business that works for YOU
7 Steps to an Author Business You Love: Build what you actually want (not what you think you should)
Presented by Conspire Creative and Beyond the Margins (events series)
Build what works AND what you want
Stop choosing between an author business you love and one that actually makes money. Discover the 7-step framework for designing sustainable author income that fits your life (not someone else’s formula), learn how other authors are building businesses they actually enjoy running, and get expert guidance on your biggest business design questions. Join our next free 60-minute power hour—bring your frustrations, leave with a plan.
Our monthly Zoom calls are for all authors—aspiring, new, or established; fiction or nonfiction; traditionally, hybrid-, or self-published; if you do fluffy, scholarly, memoirs, cookbooks, children’s books. ALL authors are welcome. These meetings are a little bit business know-how + a whole lot of community support, brainstorming, ideas, and inspiration for your questions and challenges related to the topic of the month.
The Price Is Showing Up
We never record and re-release these free calls. They are private and for those who show up.
