Publishing can make your head feel very LOUD.
If you're an author, you know the feeling. A thousand different voices telling you what you should be doing. Marketing. Building a team. Networking. It's a constant barrage of advice, and it's easy to feel like you're falling behind.
There are always so many possible things to do next that it’s easy to believe they all matter equally. And they all have to be done RIGHT NOW.
They don’t.
Maybe you’ve wondered:
- Am I doing the right things?
- Should I be focusing on marketing?
- Do I need a bigger team?
- Am I behind everyone else?
A few years ago, I built the Author Career Stages framework to help writers cut through that noise and help authors answer a simple (and yet not-so-simple) question:
What should I be focusing on right now?
This webinar introduces you to that framework so you can stop trying to do everything at once.
Imagine being able to say:
“I’m in the writing stage, so finishing my draft is my priority this month.”
Or:
“I’m in early publishing, so I need to focus on editing and building a small ARC team before I worry about complicated ad funnels.”
Or:
“I’m more established, so it’s time to focus on consistency and readers, not starting new platforms.”
Those simple distinctions are exactly what calm the mental noise when you’re overwhelmed (and overworked).
The 5 Stages framework gives you the filter that helps you make those calls for yourself, calming the noise and the chaos, and empowering you to make the choices for what’s needed right now.
What to Expect
It can feel like every single part of publishing is yelling your name loudly and trying to get your attention.
(Kind of like a toddler saying, “Momomomomomom” on repeat lol!)
It’s time to quiet that internal (and external) chaos. I’m showing you how to:
- identify your current author career stage
- sort publishing advice into what matters now and what matters later
- choose where to focus your time each week and month
- stop trying to do everything at once (it’s possible, you have to FOCUS!)
- make decisions that fit the kind of career you want (not what your critique partner thinks you should want).
You’ll leave with a way to look at your own path and say:
I know what to work on — and when to work on it.
A promise and a warning
This isn't a webinar about quick fixes or magic bullets. We won't promise instant success or introduce you to a rigid set of rules.
Instead, you’ll leave with a simple, reusable framework you can use to get oriented and move forward, and refer back to when you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
Quick Look at How the Framework is Structured:
Author careers grow in phases.
- You write first.
- You learn to edit.
- You step into publishing.
- You build visibility.
- You grow readership.
When you try to tackle all of that at the same time, everything feels harder than it has to be (publishing is already hard enough) and that’s when burnout creeps in.
BUT! When you know your stage, know where the best use of your energy is for building and learning, you know your next steps.
That’s what we’re doing together on January 14.
