The time has never been better to write and publish your first book. Are you ready? CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING SOMEONE'S FAVORITE AUTHOR, SEEING YOUR BOOK IN A BOOKSTORE, OR MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S LIFE WITH YOUR WORDS? Imagine gaining the insights and tools to strategically write, publish, and launch your book without all the struggles that most first-time authors experience! If you're committed to making strategic moves to write and publish your book, finding your tribe, and leveraging social media to get your book into the hands of your ideal readers (All while getting "how to" info from a six-figure (all from book sales) author)... ...Even if you're starting with zero audience, zero budget, and zero skills... ​ You're ready for... ​ The WPL Academy . ​ Limited spots available! YES! I'M READY TO JOIN! INTRODUCING... The WPL Academy Your Blueprint to Crafting, Self-Publishing, and Launching a Successful Book. This is for you if you're writing your first book and want to self-publish it. With limited spots available, this program isn’t just about learning; it’s about doing. I roll up my sleeves alongside you, guiding you through each step until your novel stands head-to-head with traditionally published books. ​ At The WPL Academy, you're not just enrolling in a course. You're gaining insights from a seasoned author and publishing expert with a track record of success. With over forty published books, I have experienced the triumphs and tribulations of the writing and publishing industry firsthand. The Community: The WPL Club ($2,000 value) is one of the best parts of the course (and well worth the cost of the entire program). Housed inside a private Facebook group, The WPL Club is a great resource for support and solidarity (Not to mention daily coaching and accountability from me!). Some coaches jump ship after a course launches—not me. I keep showing up and providing tips, guidance, and strategies—whenever needed. That means that as you write or publish your novel, you don't have to go it alone. I'll be there, as well as your other fellow authors! Closing soon! ENROLL NOW SO WHO CREATED THIS? I´m Laurie, aka LB, and for five years, I've coached incredible writers like you! I've been an author for almost a decade, and when I'm not writing and publishing my own books, I work with authors to help them achieve their dreams of becoming self-published authors. Before I became a six-figure, award-winning, and best-selling author, I struggled with the same doubt that most new authors have. I started this journey without a mentor or coach, and my first book flopped. After that fiasco, I gave myself two years to learn everything I could about this everchanging industry and have never looked back. I offer you the opportunity to not go into this blindly. I'll help you bypass the mistakes I made. You'll have insights that other first-time authors won't, which puts you ahead of the game, and best of all, you won't have to deal with vanity publishers. Whether you´re grappling with procrastination, battling self-doubt, feeling overwhelmed, or simply lacking a clear strategy, we'll get you through it. You'll be among like-minded people who will help get you to your destination. ​ Envision the boundless potential that awaits when absolutely nothing is holding you back and hindering you from publishing. My passion lies in helping others like you achieve their dreams. I've worked hard to make this course crazy effective for all of our students. Are you ready to experience unwavering support on your path to author success? ​ I'm here for you. Laurie BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PROGRAM? I´m so glad you asked, let´s break it down...

Sound familiar? Doubting whether the project is worth even starting, putting off your book for another year Dealing with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the fear of failure Not knowing where to turn for help or finding help, but it will cost you $4,000-$10,000 Overwhelmed with all of the information on the internet and not knowing what to trust Not knowing how to get your ideas down on paper. The truth is.. Everyone and their mother has an idea for a book. ​ Everyone wants the benefits that come with being a successful author. ​ Everyone wants to make it happen.

Hint: The WPL Academy There are numerous pitfalls with opportunistic individuals ready to exploit new authors, but Laurie is the complete opposite. Throughout my journey, I encountered various vanity press companies and people trying to mislead me into hefty payments. Laurie ensured that my experience was nurtured with care and constructive criticism.Working with this company has been a true blessing. J. Lewis. December 2023 Google Review In a word, is amazing! This woman is so smart. I connected with L.B. several years ago while in the process of releasing my debut children's book. She's a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to assist you in reaching your writing goals. I admire her passion and am inspired by her work ethic, and love her authenticity. M. Anderson. January 2024 Review After spending $8000 with a publishing company that was supposed to do everything for me, I found that my manuscript wasn't even edited properly. Thank goodness for LB. She took over and I found out the real amount is costs to publish a book and how to find my readers on Amazon. I can't thank you enought for your help.

Lifetime Access Don't navigate those murky author waters alone! You've got The WPL Academy, and it's not going anywhere. Yes, regardless of when you decide to start — whether next week, next month, or next year — you get lifetime access to the content. Lifetime access to the content and group are just part of the one-time investment you make when you enroll in The WPL Academy. Maybe you're wondering... 01 Can 't I learn all of this on YouTube? While YouTube offers a wealth of free tutorials on writing and publishing, it's important to note that relying solely on this platform can lead to inefficiencies. Although you'll find numerous resources, the downside is spending countless hours sifting through tutorials, often encountering incomplete explanations and lacking structured learning materials. This approach may result in wasted time and a less effective learning experience, as you may not receive precise guidance designed to help you truly learn the skill you're after or the exact actions to take and in what order they are most effective. 02 There are other courses... How do you compare? Indeed, there are numerous writing courses out there, and undoubtedly, some are quite impressive. However, distinguishing between them can be challenging. It's worth noting that amidst the plethora of options, there are courses offered by individuals who may have minimal industry experience, perhaps having published only a single book yet claim authority in the field. At WPL Academy, you're assured of learning from a reputable source – an author with extensive industry experience spanning years, having successfully published over 40 books and nurtured other authors along the way. Here, your education is grounded in real-world experience, not merely a course generated by artificial intelligence. 03 What if I have no writing skills? ​ It's common to feel uncertain about your writing skills, but you're not alone in this. Many successful authors began their journey without any prior writing experience. At the WPL Academy, we specialize in guiding individuals like you through the process of developing your ideas and preparing your novel for the crucial developmental editing phase, which is essential for all new authors. Don't allow your lack of writing experience to deter you from sharing your story. With our support, you can confidently embark on your writing journey.

Anne, she noticed a little girl off to the side. Whenever LB glanced her way, the child backed behind her parent. After signing every book and talking to each child, LB packed up her display and sighed with happiness at having had a successful event. ​ The little girl slowly walked toward her with a book pressed to her chest. "I read your book," she whispered and held out one of LB's Curly Girl Adventures books. "I drew a picture too." ​ Author Visits "And you have curly hair just like the Curly Girl Club," LB said as she signed the book. She studied the Curly Girl illustration. "Is this for me?" The girl nodded. "It's beautiful," said LB. "Would you sign your drawing for me?" LB had never seen a brighter smile, and sat and talked a while longer with the child and her parent. It was all she needed to inspire her to write her next story. ​ L. B. Anne is an award-winning, Amazon best-selling, author of diverse chapter books for readers ages 6-14.
