Why take part in an anthology project like this?
Why is Anthology book a great idea for first time authors?
Writing a book for the first time can be a daunting process. It takes a huge amount of dedication, consistent writing practice and accountability in order to write and publish a solo book. Also, navigating the publishing journey can be a hard and costly process. By being part of an anthology book you get to access support, mentorship, accountability and work alongside many other authors who will keep you inspired and accountable. You will learn a lot from the writing, publishing and marketing process and get more success by doing in it a group setting, so you can apply this knowledge in your own solo bok journey later in life. Most authors say that doing an anthology as the first book has been easier, faster and less expensive compared to doing a book on their own.
Why does it cost to be part of this book project?
Publishing a book does not come free, whether you are doing it on your own or taking part in a co-authored book project. The investment you make helps us ensure that the book is of the highest quality, paying for the book design, marketing, editing, formatting, book coaching, promotion and PR. We offer not only the fast-track process to becoming a published author but also guidance and support in the process. Our team will give you all the resources and support you need, including weekly calls, coaching, accountability and training on how to get the most out of this book.
How do you select the authors for this project?
We have selection criteria for all of our collaborative projects to ensure the authors are ready and positioned for this book journey. We look into the author’s credibility, authority and personal values when enrolling people into this project. This is an important part of our due diligence process to ensure that the people we bring together are highly credible and trustworthy. Ultimately, you are attaching your personal brand to this project and it will be representing your brand, and you representing ours. We see this as. a mutual selection process to ensure it. is a good fit to work together, therefore we hold discovery calls with all of our aspiring authors.
