WELCOME TO THE NONFICTION AUTHORS ACADEMY, BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE NONFICTION AUTHORS ASSOCIATION
Upcoming LIVE AND SELF-STUDY Courses
EXCLUSIVELY FOR NONFICTION AUTHORS
Our popular courses are delivered online via Zoom, making them accessible to attendees from around the globe. Most courses are offered live just once each year, so don’t miss out if there is one you really want to attend. Courses are also available in self-study format. We look forward to seeing you there!
LIVE COURSE STARTS SEPTEMBER 17TH
Learn how to turn your expertise into powerful speaking opportunities that sell more books, grow your visibility, and create new revenue opportunities. This comprehensive course teaches nonfiction authors how to develop compelling presentations, create professional speaker materials, pitch themselves for paid and unpaid speaking engagements, negotiate fees with confidence, and deliver engaging presentations both in person and online. You will also discover how to locate speaking opportunities, host your own webinars, leverage TEDx and other high-profile stages, and build a sustainable speaking platform that enhances your authority while expanding your reach and impact as an author and expert.
LIVE COURSE STARTS SEPTEMBER 29TH
Your book deserves more than a few days of attention and a fleeting Amazon bestseller badge. Bestseller Book Launch Lab is an intensive, two-hour accelerated course designed specifically for nonfiction authors who want to launch, or relaunch, their books with a strategic plan to generate visibility, reviews, sales, and long-term momentum. You will learn how to choose the right Amazon categories, optimize your book for discovery, mobilize beta readers and a launch team, generate credible reviews, build buzz before launch day, and coordinate promotional activities that drive sales. Most importantly, you will discover how to turn your launch into the beginning of an ongoing marketing campaign, so your goal isn’t simply to hit a bestseller list for a few hours, but to keep your book visible, selling, and reaching new readers long after launch day.
NEW! Accelerated Courses
Our unique Accelerated Courses are delivered in one two-hour session on Zoom. Each course includes a step-by-step implementation guide so you can take what you learn and put it to work immediately.
