Learn the Essential Steps to Take Your Story from Idea to Manuscript—
with Guidance from Bestselling Author Erika J. Kendrick
HAVE you DREAMED of becoming a PUBLISHED AUTHOR but feel OVERWHELMED by the PROCESS?
WRITING and PUBLISHING a book can be intimidating—TRUST me, I’VE been THERE.
When I wrote my first book, Confessions of a Rookie Cheerleader, I faced countless challenges and doubts.
My sixth book was published last month (CUE THE CONFETTI) but I will never forget when I started my writing journey and I was terrified and overwhelmed. I started and stopped too many times to count. The journey was lonely, with no one to turn to, and countless questions swirled in my mind:
How do I know if this idea is strong enough?
What’s the right way to structure my story
How many chapters do I need?
How will I ever get an agent to notice me?
Did you KNOW that there’s a STEP BY STEP process in getting your book written and in the hands of agents?
Over time I learned how to navigate the journey, and now I’m sharing those insights with you.
In this 90-minute free masterclass, Become a Published Powerhouse, I’ll walk you through the critical steps to turn your story idea into a compelling manuscript and put you on the path to publication.
If you’re serious about writing a book, I’m here to help you make it happen.
