How to Get Your Book Published

$499.00

It’s one thing to want to “one day” write a book, quite another to actually land a book deal with a traditional publisher and then figure out how to actually write it within their time line and budget. This is, of course, before you consider the marketing and distribution of the book — from launch to longevity and having a long-tail of readership globally.

In 2020 the first book from Fiona Killackey, Passion Purpose Profit: Sidestep the #hustle and build a business you love was published across Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom and United States. The book went to #1 in business on Booktopia and was listed in top ranking business booklists across numerous global booksellers. In 2021 Passion Purpose Profit won the Best General Business Book in the Australian Business Book Awards and a was a shortlist finalist for the best non-fiction design in the Australian Book Design Awards. To date, the book has sold more than 14,000 copies and continues to go into reprint. The next book will be published in September 2024.

In this new course (which incorporates a 6-week live coaching component), we will dive into how this book (and the next one) came to be, looking at everything from ideation and book proposals through to the global marketing strategy and seller connections.

We will cover:

  1. Book idea — what will stick? Book Publishers — how to find the right one for your book

  2. Book Proposal — how to craft one that genuinely stands out

  3. Book Contracts — what to expect in terms of advance, understanding contracts and knowing your rights

  4. Book Planing — how to structure your book and a process for actually writing this

  5. Book Permissions — what can you include and who needs to be credited/ paid for their contributions (this is something most people do not understand and it can take longer than writing the book itself!)

  6. Book Marketing — from pre launch through to longevity how to craft a strategic and sustainable marketing plan

This is a mix of self-paced online course work and 6x 1-hour live coaching sessions. The time for live coaching calls in May and June 2024 will be 1-2pm AEDT Thursdays. If you cannot make the live calls, you can send through Qs ahead of time which will be answered on the call.

The cost for the first round (May 2024) is reduced to just AUD $499. This price will increase after June 2024.
