Most fiction authors think they’re struggling because they need more time, better marketing, more discipline, or a bigger audience. Usually, that’s not the real problem. The real problem is that every author who wants to make money from their books is actually trying to perform four very different jobs at the same time—and most authors are unknowingly neglecting at least one of them. In this highly interactive workshop, attendees will discover the four roles that exist inside every successful author business: The Storyteller, The Visionary, The Worker Bee, and The Manager. Through self-assessment, discussion, and real-world examples, authors will identify exactly where they’re strongest, where they’re struggling, and why they may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated despite working hard. Then comes the fun part. Participants will choose their own adventure, diving into the role that needs the most attention and leaving with practical action steps tailored to their specific situation. This isn’t another marketing class. It’s a fresh way to understand your entire author career. Attendees leave with greater clarity, renewed motivation, and a personalized roadmap for becoming the CEO of their author business instead of feeling buried by it.
