THE FUNDAMENTALS OF FICTION

The No-Fluff Guide to Writing & Selling Great Stories

You want to be a full-time author.

You’re here because you have a story you’ve been trying to tell for years. You tell people you’re “writing a book,” but you’re still waiting for the time, the faith, or the permission to actually finish it.

Writing is hard. Having a career in fiction is harder.

Most writers never finish because they hit the Speed Bump of Uncertainty. They get stuck halfway through, wondering if anyone will actually read their work.

The Fundamentals of Fiction is the No-Fluff system you need to turn a hobby into a professional author business.

By the time you finish this book, you will have moved past theory and into production. You’ll get:

^

^

The 40-Hour Expert Status

Spend one month researching your genre to understand exactly what readers want, and how to give it to them without compromising your vision.

^

14 Hours Reclaimed

^

Secrets to a Profitable Series

Move beyond the standalone trap. Learn the math of sell-through so that every $4.99 sale actually nets you $7.82 in long-term value.

^

A Professional Launch

Train the Amazon algorithm to find your “whale” readers from day one so your book doesn’t disappear into the algorithm abyss.

There will never be a “perfect time” to write your book. You’ll have to get started before you’re ready and there will definitely be sacrifices along the way. Maybe you’ll have to give up T.V., social media, or drinking for a while. This journey won’t be easy, but it is worth it. 

You can’t finish your book if you don’t get started. It’s time to get started.

So You Want to Be an Author?

So you want to be an author, huh?

I mean, why not? You get to tell stories for a living. It’s a pretty damn good way to pass the time. If only you could get paid for that… now that would be something!

Well, let’s start with a simple truth you already know: writing is hard. I’m not even talking about polishing your story until it shines or marketing it so it sells.

I’m talking about getting your story written—the one that’s been budding in your mind since high school, college, or while working at a mundane job you kinda-sorta like, kinda-sorta hate.

You want to share your story with the world. And if things go right, maybe—just maybe—you can turn this into something more. Something real.

A portion of you have always been told you’re a talented writer. Others discovered storytelling later. But every single one of you is here because something deeper is pulling you toward this.

Story has been meaningful to you. It’s helped you through dark times. Stories make the wine taste sweeter and the tears less bitter.

You want to tell stories and live in those stories. You want to create something that matters—to yourself and to others.

And deep down, you know the world needs stories. It always has.

But more importantly, you know you have a story to tell.

Start writing the story only you can tell.
