You participated in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month in Nov.) and now you have 50,000 words staring back at you and you don't know what to do next. Or perhaps you have a manuscript collecting dust because you are terrified of the next step. OR maybe, just maybe, you have the best book idea in the world but you are completely clueless as to where to begin in turning it into a book.
Sit down and relax. My eCourse is for YOU!
Self-publish with Confidence is an affordable way to kick start your book idea into action! In an easy-to-follow 4 week series, I cover the basics of writing a business plan (yes, you need a plan), building your author platform, polishing up your manuscript in preparation of book formatting and finally, selling, and promoting your book.

This course is highly recommended for those who are ready to self-publish but are feeling overwhelmed by the process. Self-publish with Confidence is also great for published authors who have decided to venture away from traditional publishing and need help getting started on their own path. This eCourse can also help those who have released a book but aren't seeing desired results. Each week will contain assignments that are intended to bring you closer to your goal.
Sage clears the path to publication, and beyond!

I was able to attend one of her four part series on self published authors, and I have to say that I wish I could have taken more of them! Sage has a bunch of knowledge and wisdom to share and I find her to be engaging and chock full of information. She seems to genuinely want us to succeed as writers and doesn't hesitate to share what has worked for her in the industry and what has not worked. I'm attending my second session today, and I'm really looking forward to the difference it can make in my writing and publishing efforts. Thanks!

* How does this work exactly?
I am so glad you asked! Once you pay for the eCourse, I will send you a welcome email within 24 hours that will contain instructions on how to access everything. You'll receive two emails each week from me.
* Do I need to be available on certain days or times?
No, you can take this course using your own schedule! How awesome, right? When I email the first week's lesson, you'll have a full week to work on the lesson, which is plenty of time. I'll email mid-week to help you stay motivated. You will also have access to our private Facebook group where you can check in, ask questions, and share your progress!
* What supplies will I need?
You'll need access to the internet, an email account, paper, and a pencil. That's it!
* What makes you qualified to teach these courses?
Another good question! I'm a published author, small press publisher, creative coach, and publicist. I have been working with indie writers since 2004. I work with authors 7 days a week, 365 days each year. I am confident my knowledge can help you to not only succeed but flourish. Feel free to visit my full-service tour company, Sage's Blog Tours, and read some testimonials from my clients.
