Practical Support for Every Stage of
Your Author Journey

You don’t need the same kind of help at every stage. Sometimes you need community, sometimes you need marketing guidance, sometimes you want full support from manuscript to marketplace. The Independent Authors Guild was built so you can get the education, resources, and support you need—when you need it.

Concerns About Joining?

Here’s What You Need to Know.

“I’m not ready for this yet!”

You don't join because you're supposed to already know what you're doing — you join so that when you reach the next stage, you're ready. Early decisions on covers, marketing, and publishing can make all the difference.

“I don’t have time for another course.”

This is an ongoing resource hub, not a race. Learn what's relevant now, return when you need more, and use the community for support as you grow.

Not Sure Where to Start?

FREE – I want community, connection and encouragement.
PREMIUM – I’m looking for actionable marketing help for my books.
VIP – I want support with both publishing and marketing—from manuscript to readers.

Pick a level based on your most urgent need. As your business grows, you can upgrade anytime.

Know What to Do Next

The Independent Authors Guild exists to take the guesswork out of publishing and marketing. Instead of piecing together free advice, you get a clear, professional plan, so you always know what to do next in your author career.
