Confidence Jumpstart

Welcome!

What to Expect from This Course

I’m glad you’re here.

I’ll be your mentor and teach you a set of skills I know will help you crush self-doubt so you can write your book with confidence.

Over the past 40 years, I’ve written nearly 200 books (two-thirds of them novels) that have sold over 70 million copies, and I’ve had the honor of making The New York Times bestseller list 21 times.

But I did not start out confident or successful—in fact, far from it.

Is there some magic that will turn you into a bestselling author? No.

But are there skills you can learn that could put you on the path to success? You bet.

And I’m happy to share them with you.

• Learn at your own pace
• Access the information 24/7
• Network with a community of like-minded students
