    4 books in 8 years. All 4 NYT bestsellers. 💪🏾4️⃣ 10 years ago, before I wrote my first one, I knew I wanted to put my words in print but didn’t know where to start. I had no maps or guides to navigate the maze of book writing and publishing. I figured it out by trial by fire, and man… the fire was HOT. 🥵😩 It put a battery in my back to help others see their names on book covers, without going thru that heat. That’s why I created The Book Academy 📚. It’s a masterclass, a coaching platform and a writing community to help people make their book dreams come true. Cuz writing books has changed my life in ways I can’t full quantify. 🥹 Over the last year, #TheBookAcademy has helped over 400 aspiring authors. Some of our alum have already received book deals 🙌🏾 b/c of the book proposals we helped them write. Tap in if you’re ready to get started. ➡️ THEBOOKACADEMY.com. Closing doors TOMORROW. 🚪 #Bookstagram #CoachWithReceipts

    Being tired of talking about your first book, cuz you don't care about that topic you wrote about anymore is a pain point folks don't talk about enough. It's why you shouldn't be writing about a NEW interest of yours. 😩 And sometimes, when a book tanks, it's because the topic isn't something people care about hearing from YOU. You're a botanist and all of a sudden you writing a book about TV. HUH? 🧐 The RIGHT first book makes a world of difference cuz if that one doesn't do well, you might not write a 2nd one. Anywho, I've opened my The Book Academy vault and one of the sessions is one on getting CLEAR on your idea. ➡️ THEBOOKACADEMY.com. Jump in if this has you stuck. #TheBookAcademy

    A lot of people have trouble with marketing their work because they don’t want to seem like they’re bragging, and they don’t want to seem sales-y, even though they want and need to SELL. 📚💡 When it comes to books, it’s especially hard for authors because we might think our work should speak for itself and folks should flock to our art simply because it exists, but that ain’t it. “If you build it, they will come” isn’t true. It’s why 95% of books sell less than 5,000 copies. MOST books sell less than 1,000 even. My books have sold hundreds of thousands of copies. I’m teaching how, in my MAGNETIC MARKETING session of The Book Academy. And it’s only available for the next week. 📕⏳ Learn how I make sure my books get into the hands of readers who need them most, and how they keep selling even years after I drop em. 📚❤ ➡ THEBOOKACADEMY.com #TheBookAcademy #PowerWorkshops

    What does everyone in these pics have in common? We’re all really successful bestselling authors. Last summer, we met up and spent a day exchanging ideas, cheat codes and best lessons we’ve learned to get our books written, launched and in the hands of millions of people. 📚 📖💡25 of us were in that room, and combined, we’ve sold over 20 million books. Only 6 of us were women (shoutout to Tiffany "The Budgetnista" Aliche, Amy Porterfield, Jamie Kern Lima, Jenna Kutcher, Dorie Clark), and only 2 of us were Black. The generosity of everyone was inspiring but I felt convicted because there aren’t a lot of people who look like me in rooms like this. We’ve been historically locked out of publishing (outside of books about race) and the KNOW HOW to become a bestselling author is hard to come by. I created The Book Academy because as a 4x New York Times bestselling author, I’ve done what very few people have - regardless of race, gender or background. To be in rarefied air ain’t the flex. The real flex is for many of us, who are not white men, to see our names on bookshelves everywhere. 📖🖋 For a limited time, I’m opening the vault of my TBA sessions that have helped over 400 aspiring authors move forward on their book dreams. I’m not sure when I’ll open this again, and when I do, it’ll definitely be for a higher price. So if you’ve thought about writing a book, jump in and start today. 📚🚀 ➡ THEBOOKACADEMY.com

    Shoutout to my 3rd book, #RisingTroublemaker: A Fear-Fighter for Teens! It came out 2 years ago! 🎉📚✨ I wrote it after people read @ProfessionalTroublemaker and said “I wish I had a book like this when I was a teenager in high school, struggling with feeling to different.” So I said LEMME HELP them NOW. It’s gotten so much love, and I’ve been told by parents that their teens have taken it on vacations, found community and move with more confidence after reading this book. A huge shoutout to the parents, educators, and mentors who have placed their faith in me to help shape their young troublemakers. Together, we're making waves far beyond the pages. 🙌🏾 Grab a copy for the young adult in your life! ➡ RisingTroublemaker.com
