There are millions of books on how to write novels — two or three of which are actually helpful. MFA programs for literature will readily suck years of your life into a low-ROI black void. And there are online classes galore, each happy to teach you about plot and character development for around $600 an hour.
Already know how to write better than a Hemingway/Rowling homunculus? There are also courses, videos, and books on Kindle algorithms and manuscript formatting. Likewise, you can find ‘boot camps’ on digital marketing that claim to make traditional publishing obsolete.
The resources are out there. Walls have been torn down! Success has been democratized! So why did I bother writing another book on becoming an author?
Because I’m focused on teaching you what they don’t want you to know. Simply that you, my friend, don’t need any of that other shit. You are already a rockstar author. Whether you’ve sold a single book or not, the power is locked inside of you.
You need this book because no one else out there is willing to tell you that. More importantly, none of these other ‘educational’ resources is able to show you the true how and why of blockbuster author success — including how to live like a rockstar author well after you start cashing those checks.

Who Am I?
I’m an independent author, which means that everything I’ve put out was either published by me during breaks from my Fiverr gigs, or by an independent press who wrote up my contract between their Fiverr gigs.
I know what it takes to be a millionaire writer. I’ve watched Brandon Sanderson's lectures so many times, I have night terrors about being enrolled at BYU. I spend nineteen hours a day listening to podcasts about the publishing industry. I eat, sleep, and breathe the indie business.
Decoding the key to rockstar authordom has been a lifetime pursuit, and it was no simple task. I haven’t just pulled back the curtain on success, I’ve been strangled by it and clubbed with the rod it was hanging on.
Fortunately, those repeated, violent beatings didn’t just empty my wallet and waste time that I could have spent playing Grand Theft Auto. They taught me that author rock stardom is innate. It’s built into all of us, and we just need to develop our stardom’s taste for blood and release it unto the world.
The road to becoming a rockstar author isn’t easy, but it’s simple as fuck. And I’m not out to make a buck by overcomplicating it, overexplaining it, and tricking you into thinking that you need anyone’s help.
Instead, I aim only to be your Lightbringer??. My intent is to cast off the darkness of predatory horsecrap, chase away the fear of failure, and let the sun shine on your inner rockstar so you can Write Hard, Sell Out, and Live the Life.
That’s all it takes. So let’s get started.
