Sell your story, not your soul

Story Seller HQ is a supportive community for authors who are tired of figuring out audience-building and book marketing on their own.

It’s a place to learn from people who know the industry, create the content you’ve been putting off, share the wins and the cringe-worthy moments, ask the questions you’re too embarrassed to ask elsewhere — and get a little encouragement to keep going.

Because writing your book is only half the story.

What is Story Seller HQ about?

It’s a community of authors who are working to overcome their self doubt, build their audience and get copies out into the waiting hands of readers.

Just a bunch of writers showing up, sharing ideas, celebrating the wins, commiserating about the cringey moments and helping each other keep going.

It’s not another writing workshop.

It’s the bit that comes after: finding your readers and building the connections that help your book find its way into the world.

A place to ask, “How do I…?”
A place to say, “I tried this and it completely flopped.”
A place to celebrate, “Someone actually bought my book!”
And a place to get on with the things that help people discover your work.

Because you shouldn’t have to figure out how to sell your story all by yourself.

You don’t need a massive marketing budget.

You don’t need to make endless Reels.

You just need to connect with others who are doing it, then give it a go.

Writing the book is only half the story. The rest of the story can happen with support and encouragement.

What will Story Seller HQ look like?

• One Inside Track online interview per month (I’ll be chatting to authors, publishers, publicists and literary agents about all things book promo-related.)
• Two online Content Create-along sessions per month. We’ll gather in the Zoom room, choose marketing content we need to create — a newsletter, a few social media posts, a book-launch invitation, an author bio or whatever is currently sitting on your I really should get around to that list — and actually do it together.
• These monthly community sessions will be a chance to share marketing challenges, successes and ‘I can’t believe I posted that’ moments.

And best of all, this first month of Story Seller HQ is fully free! So you get a seat on our Inside Track webinar and two content create-along Zoom sessions in September… for mahala!
