UP & ALC

We’re here to help you reach your publishing goals.


Having an idea for a book is very easy. Starting to write a book is easy. Writing a book to the finish, publishing it, and marketing it can be challenging. Why is that? First, writing is a solitary exercise. In other words, when you write, you work alone. Second, with so many choices and options for publishing, distribution, and marketing these days, you can be confused and unsure about what to do.

But you are not alone, and you can get expert advice if you are a member of the Author Learning Center (ALC).

This site is a one-of-kind online author education community designed to help educate, motivate, and support you as you follow your path to becoming a published author.

A GPS for your publishing journey that you can try for free.

No matter your experience or where you are on your journey, the Author Learning Center can help you navigate the publishing landscape and help you reach your goal. Best of all, you can try it for free for 30 days.
