After working with more than 1000 authors, we understand better than most, each author brings something distinctive and powerful to the table.  Some are passionate writers, they’re all about the art of writing, some are industry experts, some blog their way to bestseller.  There are as many types of authors in today’s world as there are types of audiences.

It only takes one piece of content delivered to the right audience to cross the threshold from author to influencer.  But here’s the kicker – that content might not be your book.  Don’t believe us?  Just look at Brene Brown.

Her status as a thought leader now borders on celebrity thanks to a viral TED Talk.  Like most authors, her book was only the beginning.  And so it will be with you.
