Courses

Studying with others is one of the best ways to learn. The courses I offer provide opportunities for committing to a writing practice, developing your author’s voice, and engaging in powerful feedback sessions. Whether you want to finally write your book, learn how to blog, capture your family’s legacy stories, or write to heal, the courses I’ve created will guide you along the way.

Write Books that Change the World

Is 2023 the Year that You Finally Write Your Book?

That idea has probably been rolling around in your mind for years.
You awaken in the middle of the night writing a scene or a chapter. 
You carry around a notebook filled with ideas.
You see the possibilities that open to you once you finally are a published author.
And yet you’ve hesitated.
You’ve done nothing to bring your book to life!
Here’s your chance to honor that calling that You are the person chosen to bring a special message into the world – one that will inspire, heal, and transform others.

Create a Book Marketing Plan that Sells!

Many authors believe that their work is done once they’ve written their book. Writing the book is actually just the beginning of your publishing journey! Once that book is beginning to take shape, it’s time to view your book as a business. You want to sell books, right? Then you need a plan!

In Creating a Book Marketing Plan that Sells!, you’ll:

  • Write an effective synopsis of your work.
  • Summarize each chapter so that you know exactly what benefits your readers receive from your message.
  • Craft a bio that highlights your wisdom, expertise, and knowledge. (This means you get to brag!)
  • Know your “competition” by scouring Amazon and Goodreads for books similar to yours.
  • Identify your Influencers (people who will brag about you!).
  • Make a list of your Fans (folks who will buy at least one copy of your book).
  • List all of your organizations and affiliations
  • Assemble a media list where you’ll send an announcement about your book.
  • Create a promotional plan that sets you apart from other authors, 
  • Plus much more!

In addition to meeting 2 times a month for 3 months, I’ll provide you with individual feedback on each section of your marketing plan. 

Plus, you’ll get a 45-minute individual consulting session with me.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the Plan and Confidence that will allow you to sell far more books than if you simply loaded your books on Amazon and hoped for the best.

The Legacy Keeper is the keeper of knowledge. Recording the lessons of family triumphs and lessons of loss and pain—and capturing the fruit that can be derived from them—is the mission of the Legacy Keeper.

The good times and those challenging ones are all part of the human experience. They all make us who we are today and weave the story of our legacy. This is the priceless gift we can leave to our children and our grandchildren…Our legacy—and theirs.
