About Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Joel Pitney.

I’ve been helping authors get published for a decade and I want to help you, too.

I helped launch my first book onto the New York Times Bestseller list, and soon began working with a wide range of authors to help bring their books to the world. Over the years, I’ve seen handfuls of other agencies and courses pop up with promises to help authors become bestsellers overnight, or to publish their books in only 30 days. These claims drive me crazy because they’re either untrue, or cutting corners. Neither leads to being successful and professional.

From the beginning, I’ve promised an honest approach to doing business and this course is no different. I debunk the hype with proven, results-driven strategies that deliver uncompromising results.

In this course, I show you exactly what we do on a daily basis. I use the same techniques my team and I have used to help hundreds of authors bring their books to life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to access the course?

You’ll have lifetime access after a one-time fee.
How long does this course take?

You can complete the course in a little over 5 hours. But remember that publishing your book takes much longer! Expect 4-6 months, with much of that time spent waiting for your book’s interior and cover to be designed and formatted.
What equipment/tools will I need to complete the course?

Not much! Just a computer, an email account and your finished manuscript. Later, if you choose to do an audiobook, we will walk you through your options for recording equipment.
What if I need help?

We have a free, private Facebook group where you can ask Joel and the team any questions you have related to the course. If you still need more help, we offer phone consultations as well as done-for-you services.
Will I have additional expenses after the course?

Yes. There are three other expenses you’ll have: hiring a cover designer, hiring an interior formatter, and if you choose to do an audiobook, hiring an audio editor. Of course, if you have skills in any of these categories, you can do these yourself. But if you’re not experienced, we highly recommend hiring out these three services in order to make sure your book looks as professional as possible! In the course, we give you tips for how to find affordable and talented vendors, and provide advice for working with them to get the best possible final product.
Refunds

If you’re unhappy with the course for any reason, let us know within 30 days and we’ll refund your payment.
When does the course start?

You can start as soon as you enroll and go at your own pace.
