The Author CEO
You wrote the book.
Now build the business.
A four-month private mentorship for women authors who are done being the world's best-kept secret & ready to think, earn, & lead like an Author CEO
Special Founding Member Price Ends April 7th · Spots are limited
You wrote the book. And then nothing happened.
You're ready for it to become something more. To see your name on a bestseller list, to earn real income from your writing, to walk into a room and introduce yourself as an author without a second thought.
What's missing is a clear strategy and someone who truly understands both the creative and the business side of being an author.
That's exactly what the Author CEO Mentorship is designed to give you.
Who this is for
This is for you if...
You've been writing long enough to know that finishing a book is only the beginning
You want to make intentional decisions about your publishing path, not just follow the loudest advice online
You're ready to understand how your books can generate real income and build a real business
You're ready to own the identity of author fully, without any hesitation
This isn't for you if…
You're still treating your writing as a hobby and aren't ready to think differently about it
You're looking for a shortcut to a bestseller list rather than a sustainable author career
You're not open to thinking about money, strategy, or the business side of publishing
The Author CEO
What We Build Together
A grounded, strategic plan that reflects who you are, what you're writing, and where you want to go, with a 4-month roadmap to get you there.
MONTH 1
Identity and Vision
Get clarity on who you are as an author and what you're building. We address the thinking that's kept you in "someday" mode and define what success actually looks and feels like for your life.
MONTH 2
Strategy and Publishing Decisions
We’ll work through your genre and market positioning, your series versus standalone decision, whether self-publishing, hybrid, or traditional is the right fit for your goals, and how to think about rights and revenue from a position of real understanding.
MONTH 3
Business Model and Positioning
Now we treat your books as what they truly are: assets. We build your author brand with clarity, map your long-term book catalogue, explore the income models available to you beyond royalties, and begin thinking about how you want to show up in the world as a creative entrepreneur.
MONTH 4
Your Execution Roadmap
We build your 12-month publishing roadmap, your launch timeline, your production schedule, and your marketing focus. We set your financial targets and establish the personal habits that will carry you forward as an Author CEO long after our time together ends.
Here's How We Work Together
Every session, every message, every resource is focused entirely on you and where you want to go.
2 private calls per month
Two 60-minute 1:1 sessions dedicated entirely to you and your business.
WhatsApp access between calls
Voice-note and messaging support so you're never left waiting.
Shared strategy document
A living Google doc for planning, notes, and your 12-month roadmap.
Clear monthly focus
Always know what we're working on and why. No spinning, no overwhelm.
Industry Q&A time
Ask anything — publishing, marketing, audiobooks, rights, industry trends.
Mindset & EFT support
Practical strategy paired with abundance mindset and EFT work.

What Authors Are Saying
Working with Sarah helped me organise my approach and prioritise my time. I've learned to carve out excess and ask the hard questions. Don't put it off.

Meet Your Mentor
Hey, I'm Sarah!
I'm a bestselling and award-winning fiction author and I know exactly what it is to love writing deeply, to be serious about it, and to still feel like you are operating without a map.
For years, I devoured every book, downloaded all the freebies, and completed countless courses. It wasn't until I combined all that knowledge and poured it into my business that I soared to the top of the bestseller lists.
I've written over 10 bestselling novels. I've built Serenade Publishing from the ground up. And I've coached authors at every stage, from first drafts to launch day and everything in between.
The truth is, craft alone does not build an author career. Strategy does. Clarity does. The Author CEO Mentorship is the most intimate way I work with authors and it's where I do my most transformative work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have a finished book to apply?
Not necessarily. If you're close to finishing and ready to start thinking about what comes next, this mentorship is designed for that moment.
Is this a course or a coaching program?
It's private mentorship which means no modules to work through alone, no group calls to get lost in. Everything we do is built around you, your books, and your specific goals.
I've already done writing courses. How is this different?
Most writing courses focus on craft. This mentorship focuses on what comes after — strategy, publishing decisions, income, and identity. If you've done the creative work and still feel stuck, this is the missing piece.
What happens after I apply?
I review every application personally and respond within three business days. If it looks like a good fit, I'll invite you to a short clarity call to make sure the mentorship is right for you before any commitment is made.
