Hey there, aspiring fiction author! Do you dream of writing fiction that connects with readers and makes you money? Do you struggle to finish your manuscripts, dealing with indecision as to the plot, or all out writer’s block? Are you sick of feeling that each time you write a book, you’re rolling the dice as to how the book will be received, and how much money—if any—you’ll make? Tired of hearing that marketing is a game of luck and testing, and hopefully one day it will all come together? So, you either give up, amassing a file full of half-finished manuscripts, or push through, feeling constantly uncertain, and wondering how the top selling authors on Amazon are doing it. There is a way to simplify and streamline. A step-by-step process you can follow so you can finish books with confidence, know your marketing will get you results, and build a fiction business that sustains you. Hi, I’m Liesel. Fiction coach, Christian manifestation enthusiast, and USA Today bestselling fiction author. Wanna steal all my secrets? Grab a pen and paper and put on your comfy slippers, cuz I’m about to teach you fiction writing and marketing secrets not being taught in the fiction author space.
