Fiction Empire | Beta Invitation

I'm selecting a handful of faith-based fiction authors to hit consistent 5 & 6 figure months profit in 2026

Here's the problem nobody in the author world realizes:

Most authors believe that if they have a book, they have a business.

They don't.

A book is just a product.
And a product is not a business.

Any product without a proper infrastructure around it is next to impossible to grow, leaving you to depend on algorithms and whichever way the wind blows.

That's not something you can control. And if you can't control it, you can't grow it at the rate you want.

Most authors rely on Amazon & retailers, which means their results are partially (if not fully!) out of their hands.

My approach is different:

I focus on the things you CAN control.

The Author Ecosystem.

When we build all of this, we stop trying to merely sell books, and we treat your brand like the professional you are so you get the recognition your work deserves:

We will approach your authorship from here on out as a Personal Brand.

Note: I'm going to break down for you the different "spokes" on the wheel of the author eco-system -- don't get overwhelmed by what you see!

We don't do everything all at once, but strategically, based on what's already working for you and what makes the most sense to add next:

Get 1000 Superfans - Direct Sales Platform - Merchandise Strategy - Annual Promotion Calendar - Content Strategy - Paid Traffic - Crowdfunding - Digital Products - Recurring Revenue Models - Email Engine - Operations & Logistics

This is a personal brand that exists independently of Amazon, independently of any ranking, independently of any platform that can change its rules on you overnight or even shut down your account.

That ecosystem is what you're missing.

Not more books. Not better ads. Not the right timing or the right luck.

The author infrastructure.

And that is exactly what Fiction Empire is built to help you create.

Our goal is simple: To take a prolific fiction author with an existing catalog and build the business infrastructure that turns their books into a real scalable & sustainable brand — generating consistent 5 and 6-figure months through owned platforms, superfan relationships, and multiple revenue streams.

Not by writing more books and hoping Amazon cooperates.

By building something that belongs to you.

Here's what I know is possible.

I've built multiple 7-figure businesses from scratch — including a multi-6-figure music career without ever touring, a multiple 7-figure courses and digital products business, an 8-figure e-commerce company, and now another coaching business — all while homeschooling 5 kids for 20 years.

The principles that built every one of those businesses are the same. They apply to music, books, merchandise -- and they absolutely apply to fiction!

One of my clients, Elisabeth Wheatley, is a self-published fantasy fiction author who went from inconsistent $1–5K months — completely dependent on Amazon — to a million-dollar-a-year business with books, memberships, AND physical products.

She quit her job. She retired her husband. She has a warehouse. 80% of her income comes from a platform she owns.

She was willing to build her brand differently than what all the other author recommendations are out there, and her business blew up.

That transformation is what Fiction Empire is built to replicate.

This Program is not a fit if you...

  • Have fewer than 3 published books

  • Are not currently supporting yourself in some capacity — whether through your books, another business, or a combination

  • Believe success is mostly about luck, timing, or the algorithm cooperating

  • Are unwilling to learn new skills or go outside your comfort zone

  • Want someone to do it all for you without being involved

  • Are not ready to treat your author business like the real company it could be

  • Aren't interested in personal development

But if you...

  • Have 3 or more published books and a real catalog to build on

  • Have a way to support yourself while you build this out

  • Are done being dependent on Amazon, algorithms, and ads for your income

  • Are coachable

  • Can follow a proven system without needing to reinvent everything

  • Know that YOU are the one who has to do the work — and you're ready to roll up your sleeves

  • Want to build something where as your business grows, your life gets better — not busier

  • Are serious about turning that catalog into a sustainable brand

...this is the program that will change everything.

We'll do it with the perfect mix of 1-1 coaching, small group learning, and asyncronous communication.

Here's what we'll build together over 12 months:

Phase I — Foundation:

Establish your identity, positioning, and audience before you build anything else.

Module 1  |  Founder Mindset

You stop operating like a writer hoping for sales and start running your creative work like the CEO of a real company. This module builds the mental infrastructure — financial clarity, stewardship principles, and long-term asset thinking — that everything else in the program depends on.

Module 2  |  Personal Brand Authority

You move from being "an author who writes fiction" to owning a clear, value-aligned position in the market that makes the right readers immediately feel like they've found their person. Your reputation becomes a revenue asset.

Module 3  |  Audience Architecture

You stop posting into the void and start building a customer-first ecosystem where the right readers find you, trust you, and stay. By the end of this module you know exactly who your reader tribe is and have a system for growing it consistently.

Module 4  |  Content Strategy Engine

You build a sustainable content system that grows your authority and your audience without burning you out. Your content works for you between launches, not just during them.


Phase II — Platform & Revenue:

Build the infrastructure that generates income across multiple streams.

Module 5  |  Email Marketing

You build the most valuable asset in your business: a list of real readers who want to hear from you. With automated sequences, launch flows, and retention strategies in place, your email list becomes a revenue engine that runs whether you're actively promoting or not.

Module 6  |  Author-Owned Sales Platform

Launch your own direct-to-reader storefront, capturing higher margins and owning your customer data. This is the shift from renting shelf space on Amazon to building a brand your readers shop from directly — on your terms.

Module 7  |  Book-Centric Launches

You unlock the full revenue potential of your existing backlist through strategic launches, crowdfunding, special editions, and bundles. Your books do more work without you writing new ones.

Module 8  |  Merchandising Strategy

You extend your story world into physical products — themed boxes, collectibles, and branded merchandise — that deepen reader connection and open entirely new revenue streams beyond the book itself.

Module 9  |  Recurring Revenue

You build predictable, repeating income through memberships, subscription boxes, and reader clubs that generate revenue every month — independent of your publishing schedule. This is the module that makes your income feel stable for the first time.

Module 10  |  Digital Monetization & Campaigns

You build out digital extensions of your fiction world — reader experiences, bonus content, and companion courses — while mapping an annual promotional calendar that coordinates every campaign, launch, and seasonal push into one cohesive revenue plan.


Phase III — Scale Strategies & Operations

Build the systems, traffic, and team infrastructure to grow sustainably.

Module 11  |  Paid Ads & Traffic

You add paid traffic to a system that's already working, scaling what converts and building evergreen funnels that bring in new readers around the clock. Ads stop feeling like a gamble and start working like a growth lever and acceleration mechanism.

Module 12  |  Logistics, Operations & Long-Term Empire Building

You build the back-end of a real company: fulfillment systems, documented processes, a hiring roadmap, and the delegation infrastructure that lets your business grow without requiring more of you. You leave this module with a business that can scale — and a clear picture of what comes next.


What You Leave With:

By the end of 12 months, you will have built:

  • A fully mapped revenue ecosystem with multiple income streams

  • An author-owned storefront with direct-to-reader sales

  • An email engine with automated sequences and a growing list

  • A structured promotional calendar you can actually follow all year long

  • Paid traffic capability with live ad funnels

  • At least one recurring revenue stream

  • Operational clarity and documented systems

  • A scalable business model that doesn't require a new book every month

Because this is a beta cohort, it will be highly personal.

I'm taking on only a handful of authors so I can build this to be the most world-class, life-changing, phenomenal program that changes your world forever.

You'll get direct access to me — real 1-on-1 coaching, personal feedback on your strategy and positioning, and my full attention as we build your author empire together.

In exchange, I'm looking for transformation. I'm looking for authors who are ready to do the work and become the next success story. And you'll help me shape the content based on your actual needs.

Beta pricing reflects the real-world results I know are possible and realistic:

$1,250/month for 12 months

or $12,000 pay-in-full (save $3000)


Note: This is 50% off what this program will cost at public launch.

We kick off soon, so follow the steps below to hold your spot in the beta program.

Step 1: Click here to apply for one of the last spots & submit your deposit.

Step 2: We'll review your application and let you know after applications close.

If your application is not accepted, we'll refund you immediately and point you in the right direction.
