The advanced skills and strategy classes to help you grow your Novel Career!

Create a strategy for long-term success.

Build a profitable, successful career as a novelist.

 

Do you ever feel like...

  • You've written a great story — but aren't sure what to do next?
  • You have a plethora of strategies for selling your story... but what you really want is to know how to implement them (and which ones actually work)?
  • You work way too hard for too little success? You're not afraid of hard work — you'd just like to see a real return on your time and investment.
  • You want more readers — but aren't sure how to actually get them?

If any of that hits home, you're not failing. You're just missing the part nobody handed you: the roadmap for turning a finished book into a thriving author career.

You don't have a writing problem. You have a career problem.

You can write. You've got stories — maybe you've even finished a few. But somewhere between "I wrote a book" and "I'm building an author career," the road gets foggy.

Most writers piece it together from scattered blog posts, YouTube rabbit holes, and expensive trial-and-error that costs years.

You don't have to.

I GET IT. I started writing while living in Siberia. (not kidding).

You can't get more alone, frustrated and confused than trying to learn a craft and launch a book in a snowy, remote tundra.

Hi, I'm Susan May Warren. Twenty years and 100+ books later, I've hit bestseller lists, won the industry's top awards, and built a school for novelists.

Here's what I learned: writing the book is only half of it. The authors who build lasting careers are the ones who also learn to launch, market, and run their writing like the business it is.

Your Novel Career is everything I wish someone had handed me at the start.

See, I've learn a few things, and I'd like to help you.

Imagine.

A year from now you could have one--or maybe a series--of books on the indie market, already earning revenue. And you'll do them right--with a plan, a great cover, editing, and a marketing strategy that wins.

Or, your amazing story is in the hands of an agent or editor, making the rounds at publishers, while you hunker down to write another bestseller, because you've learned how to be ultra-productive with your time and creativity.

Or maybe, you've taken that backlist of out-of-print books, resurrected them and used them to gain new readers, which has exploded your readership--and your income on those formerly "dead" books.

And along the way, you've learned to think like a business person, to look at the fine print of contracts, hire designers, editors, spend smart money on the right advertising and navigate with pizzazz social media without it taking you away from your writing life.

In short, you're publishing your books. Making money. Building a readership and nailing that novel career.

Yeah, that's what I imagine for you, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

This is brilliant timing! You have the opportunity to start your novel career with a strategic plan on how to achieve your goals.
I'M A MULTI-PUBLISHED AUTHOR. WILL THIS BE APPLICABLE FOR ME?

WHAT IF WE DON'T COVER A TOPIC I REALLY WANT TO LEARN UNTIL, LIKE, 6 MONTHS LATER?
The thing making you feel overwhelmed right now is that you're trying to do too many things you shouldn't be doing.

I've also taught over 1000 students through my courses, in just about every genre you can think of.
HOW MUCH TIME WILL THIS TAKE?
On average, expect to spend about 30-60 minutes per class. In the car, taking walks...or just dedicate yourself to learning one element a week. (But please leave room to write!)
