You will get instant access to our first series of video tutorials, access to our private social media forum, and printable checklists and resources to begin.
You will learn what works for titles and subtitles and how to create a well written book. You will get access to vetted cover artists who can make your dream a reality.
You will learn my proven methods for creating a well written book - even if writing is not your best subject! Bring your ideas, I will help you fill in the blanks.
I will show you how I generate sales, endorsements and blurbs, and start getting sales the first day your book is published. Royalty income lasts a lifetime.
I will show you how you can get a beautiful, professionally produced book created, including formatting and design, in both eBook, paperback, and hardback versions.
The tutorials start by re-writing what you learned in high school English and teach you how to write like a professional writer. Next, the tutorials guide you through every aspect of outlining, organizing, and writing your book, and then into the technical aspects of getting a cover designed, editing the book, and formatting it for publication. I will show you how to obtain ISBNs and barcodes and start your own publishing company so that your books can easily be found in bookstores worldwide.
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this course is the Automatic Chapter Template Generators I have created. I went through many all-time bestselling books and found the commonalities in each one. Do you want a bestseller? Improve your chances by using the same writing formats other successful writers do. It works like this: Read the online prompts, write your book paragraph by paragraph modeling other successful books, hit “print,” and your completed chapters will be delivered in MS Word format. It is like paint-by-numbers for the author!
Writing a book is great, but selling it is a different dilemma. These resources will take you from book launch to the reader’s desk. I have written over 28 books. I know what works to sell books, and I will share the exact methods I use so that you can duplicate my success.
Printable worksheets, guides, checklists, infographics, and handouts will become resources you can use to ensure you are doing everything correctly and that your book will be accepted when uploaded to distributors and printers worldwide.

I have written 30+ books, and I am writing another one! In this course I'm not just teaching you what I know, I will be sharing exactly what I do in 12- weeks so that you can mirror my success and do it with me!
The tutorials are fantastic. They will show you how to get a beautiful cover made, how to get blurbs from industry leaders, and how to create your book. I even give you writing templates so you can fill in your own chapters.
But the best part is our weekly Zoom meeting and our private social media group. You will be doing this real-time with other writers, and together we can get it done. This course sets a schedule of 5-10 hours a week, and by the end of 12-weeks, your book will be finished.
You will even have 5-star book reviews the first day your book is published because our group can support each other's success!

I wrote my first book in 1994. I have written a couple of books a year since that time. Passive income from royalties makes a great retirement plan! Once you write a book, you never have to write it again and potentially you can earn money from it for the rest of your life! I am still earning money from books I wrote before my adult children were born!
Your book will be available worldwide and in multiple formats.
You will have paperbacks to sign, eBooks to share, and even audio books for travelers and the visually impaired.

. I am happy to answer short questions via phone or FB messenger. I try to give individualized attention to every student and I welcome your calls. If you need one-on-one coaching to help you with writing, outlining or other aspects of book writing, that is offered to class participants for a nominal fee for my time.
You can write on any topic, either fiction or non-fiction. The principles in this course can be applied to any book from a novel to a memoir or really any genre or trope. Previous students in this course have written textbooks, counseling and therapy books, self-help books, erotic literature, religious books, poetry books, technology books, economics books, spiritual and Christian books, and even a book about raising giant rabbits! Write what you are passionate about. I take a librarian approach in this course, in that we will not burn books, even books I would find distasteful or with information I passionately disagree with. This class is a safe-space for all regardless of topic, political content, or controversy. The marketplace can decide if the book should have been written or not.
No. State licensing boards do not permit CE hours to be awarded for personal development. But even without hours, this will be a career enhancing course.
You will spend 1 hour a week or less viewing next step tutorials and 75 minutes each week in Zoom. Participants average 5-10 hours per week of writing time, organizational time, and production time to getting it done. If you do the homework you will finish, if you do not dedicate the time, you will not.
Bookstores worldwide will be able to order your book, as will libraries, schools and other organizations from the same wholesalers that all books come from. Richard will share some inside secrets for getting shelf space in local retailers for your book. And of course, if you're lucky, you're book might be one of the small minorities that get shelf space nationwide.
I typically spend $300-$600 for book cover graphics, editing and proofreading, and typesetting. I do not spend much on marketing, choosing to use organic reach instead. I will share my resources with you, and you should expect to spend about the same for a 20,000-60,000 word book. If you cannot afford to spend $300-$600 in additional money on you book you should not take this course. That being said, I have never lost money publishing a book, your results may vary.
I want you to try to stay on track with the group. But some will have delays, personal issues, etc. You will have lifelong access to the tutorials and replays and can finish on your own time using these resources. But if at all possible, stay with the group and devote your time to this. It will pay lifelong rewards to you. You can do it! Many people thought they could not finish, but by watching the tutorials and sticking to dedicated writing time each week, you will finish!
This course will help you get them done! A regular paperback (or hadcover) book of any size that includes, charts, diagrams, black and white photos, and simple illustrations is part of of this course. That being said, I will NOT be covering production of color printing, or non-standard formatting (like recipe books with multiple images, photgraphy books, or technical manuals). Many of the principles are similar, and the steps are the same and you will benefit from this course and I will try to point you to resources for finishing your project, but understand at the outset that non-standard books with special printing requirements are NOT a part of this course.
