"Is it just me, or is this book industry really confusing?" That's what my newest author, a highly successful entrepreneur who has bought and sold companies for millions of dollars, said to me recently.

Like the authors with whom I work, perhaps you have many questions about writing, publishing, branding, marketing, and selling your book ...

  • How can I sell more books?
  • How can I improve my writing?
  • What should my book cover look like?
  • How do bookstores work?
  • How can I get media exposure for my book?
  • How can I setup a website to help promote my book and share my message?

Having now published over 70 books through High Bridge Books since 2013 (including three of my own) and helped our authors sell tens of thousands of books (of which they have kept most of the profit), I have packaged much of what we've learned in a new video training library for authors called the "Christian Author Academy".

The Christian Author Academy is now open for registration and includes over five hours of video training to help you successfully navigate the book writing, publishing, and sales/marketing processes to share your message with those who need to hear it.

Beyond getting access to this wealth of information based on years of experience, we also offer a premium option that includes four hours of one-on-one coaching with me, during which we can discuss any aspects of the writing, publishing, promotion, and sales processes related to your book.

While the entire library of videos is only accessible at no cost to High Bridge Books' authors, anyone may purchase access to the entire library for a one-time investment of $97.

Also, there's a 30-day money-back guarantee, so I'll send a refund if you're not completely satisfied with the value you receive from this training.

See you in the course!

Best & success,

Darren Shearer
