Writing BookCamp

A 6-week guided group coaching experience to turn your message into a book that’s readable, marketable, and makes a real impact.

Does this sound familiar? You’ve got a story burning in your heart, an idea that won’t let you sleep at night. Yet, every time you sit down to write, doubt creeps in. “Where do I start? Who’s even going to read this? What if it’s not good enough?” You’re spinning your wheels, overwhelmed with all the moving parts of writing a book, and that dream of becoming an author feels more like a distant fantasy.

But here’s the truth: your story matters, and the world is waiting to hear it. It’s time to push past the fear, silence the self-doubt, and finally write the book that’s been tugging at your soul. Let’s make it happen—together.

Your words deserve more than to live in your head. It’s time to move from “thinking about it” to actually writing it. BookCamp with The Publishing Boss, Athena C. Shack, is a six-week, action-taking program designed to help aspiring authors like you map out your book, organize your thoughts, and create something that readers can’t put down.
