Well, this could be your reality! Only, you need to write the darn thing first. And I KNOW that you likely have that nagging voice of doubt chipping away at your confidence, creating a massive block to your book publishing dream. Or you don’t know where to begin or how you’re going to find the time. Or maybe you’re just so sick of doing it alone...!
Introducing the Author Accelerator monthly membership – a community of budding writers and indie authors who want to make a positive impact … one word at a time.
Whether you’re into non-fiction or fiction, children’s books or instructional manuals, the Author Accelerator has everything you need to write, design and launch your book(s), not to mention a wealth of support and encouragement so you never have to feel like you’re doing it alone.
YES you're busy. YES Amazon is a crowded marketplace. YES self (or indie) publishing is still (often) viewed as 'inferior' to traditional publishing (you'll find elitism in every industry). And NO, it's NEVER too late. Whatever your age, ability, skills or expertise, or how many times your teacher scribbled over your best writing with red pen, nothing – and I mean NOTHING – need stand in your way of becoming an author ... and a bestselling one at that (if that's your goal). If you are living and breathing and reading these words in this moment, right now, then you have every right to publish a book (and make bank in the process).
What to expect:
WRITING SPRINTS
10-minute writing sprints throughout the week via FB Live to give you a little bit of focused, distraction-free writing time – less really is more!
VIDEO LIBRARY
Access to a training hub of bite-sized 'how to' tutorials covering every step of the self-publishing process with new videos added each month. [NB: this library will build over time & will not be immediately available.]
MONTHLY GROUP CALLS
A monthly group Q&A call plus masterclass to get feedback, discuss ideas, clear blocks, and dive deeper into the self-publishing process.
SUPPORT
Get support and accountability from a group of awesome people who share your book writing and publishing dream as well as direct access to me. [NB: a Facebook account is required.]
Author Accelerator is ideal for you if:
you want to develop your writing skills, keep your writing on track, and be held accountable by a supportive group who want the best for you (and your book)
you plan to self-publish but don't have a clue where to begin or how to market your book
you have dreams of writing full-time or leveraging your book to grow your business

Have a question?
Will the cost of the membership increase?
Yes. But not for you. Whatever you pay today will be the same amount you pay for the duration of your membership.
Why do you offer Pay-What-You-Can?
I appreciate that everyone's financial situation is different and I want my content to be accessible to all. There are no extra perks or bonuses for paying more – everyone gets the same content and is treated as an equal human being. I only ask that if you can afford a higher subscription, then please do (I'm trusting your integrity on this one). I believe in equity and want my pricing to reflect this.
How much time will I need to dedicate to the membership?
As little or as much as you want. And no, I won't preach 'you get out what you put in' because I recognise that everyone's lives and circumstances are different. The group is there to support you, whatever stage of writing you're at. And remember: life is a marathon, not a sprint (and that goes for writing and publishing too).
Do I have to attend the writing sprints?
No. The writing sprints are short, 10-minute bursts of focused writing time for those who want to write alongside others. But they are not mandatory. Do what works for you and your circumstances.
Do I have to attend the live calls?
No. If you want to attend a live Q&A session but are unable to, you will have the opportunity to submit your question(s) in advance. All live calls will be recorded. There is also ample opportunity to ask for feedback/guidance within the group.
Do you offer support and services outside of the group?
Yes. Inky Soup offers editing & proofreading, and book cover design and formatting services. All members receive 10% discount on Inky Soup services (excluding dedicated marketing & publishing support via our partner, Team Author UK).
