Think you can't do it? You can.

Do any of these sound like you? If so, don't worry -- we'll get you over these humps:

"I feel compelled to write this book, but I can't find the time to do it."

"How do I know when to stop? I always feel like I have more to add."

"I'm staring at a blinking cursor and I don't know how to get started -- or, once started, I keep hitting writers' block."

"I want to self-publish, but the process is impossibly confusing: I'm spending more time figuring it out than I am on writing the book!"

"Why should I write a book? Nobody knows who I am,

and I don't have the money to spread the word about it."

You're in the right place.

Why should you listen to me?

Well, if you're on this page you already know who I am, so I won't give you the long version.

But here goes.

I'm the author of 13 books (including two New York Times bestsellers). My book The Church and the Market won the $50,000 first prize in the Templeton Enterprise Awards.

In 2019, at the sprightly age of 47, I had already won the Hayek Lifetime Achievement Award in Vienna, in large part on the strength of my writing.

So I'm worth listening to.

Together, we're going to slay every one of those dragons that's standing between you and a successful published book.

Lots and lots of authors will fail, and badly. Here is where you get unstuck.

Introducing the Tom Woods Author Academy!

By the end of our time together, you won't be wondering how you'll ever sell any copies, or where you'll find the time to write, or any of the other things that keep would-be authors paralyzed and beset by self-doubt.

We'll have you on the road to a successful book!

(This is for nonfiction books; I can't help you with novels, I'm afraid.)

The program's eight modules cover:

• Why your book royalties are the tip of the iceberg, and how to make your book generate other income streams for you that most authors know nothing about
• My unforgettable way to start your chapters so they grab your reader by the collar
• Three techniques to strike down writer’s block good and hard
• How to outline your book in a single day
• Can’t make progress because you “don’t have time”? Here’s what to do
• Is your book too long, but you love it too much to cut it down? My foolproof approach to solving that problem
• My 20-minute trick for writing faster and getting more done
• How to avoid the big mistake new authors make with their titles, so your book doesn’t get buried and overlooked
• Two ways a one-star review can help you, and one way you can even profit from it

Remember, I've been doing this a long time. I wrote my first published article 32 years ago, and my first national bestseller 21 years ago. My years of experience are at your service inside the Woods Author Academy. For example, you'll also learn:

• My never-before-revealed book writing method that generated 11 books in nine years
• The simple technique —which I learned at age 16 — to make your writing sound professional and elegant
• Want to co-author a book? Here’s the best way to do it so you and your co-author don’t become mortal enemies
• The best way to stay focused, and not to gradually begin neglecting your book
• The danger of trying to “sound smart” in your prose
• The crucial grammatical rules you MUST know (but may have forgotten, or never learned) if you don’t want to be embarrassed
• When the rules of grammar can (and must!) be broken
• How to avoid the hideous fourth-grade book-report style in which so many books are written, and sound like a real author instead
• A simple way to add gravitas to your book and make yourself look like someone to be taken seriously
• Why I’ve never wasted my time on a “first draft” and a “second draft” — and you don’t have to, either
• Why your audiobook — which you might not have created — can earn you more than your standard version
• Special session on children’s books, and how Connor Boyack made millions of sales in his Tuttle Twins series
• The app that will make the writing process a gazillion times easier
• The “writing retreat” — how to make huge strides on your book in a short time

But even that isn't all. We still have to talk about publishers, and navigating wokeness, and how to find readers (and especially reviews), and how to manipulate (did I really say manipulate?) the bookseller algorithms. So you'll also learn:

• How important is a traditional publisher? Myths and facts of traditional vs. self-publishing
• One publisher that will strongly consider your ideological book even in the age of wokeness
• How you can use the magic of “free” to skyrocket your revenues
• Three strategies for unknown authors to find hungry readers
• A simple strategy even a beginner can use to maximize your book’s splash during its launch week
• Four ways to get more customer reviews — perhaps the biggest driver of book sales — so you can sell more books
• Getting professional reviewers and institutions to review your book for instant credibility
• The publishing paradox — the wider the audience you aim for, the fewer sales you’ll make — and how to avoid it
• How to keep your book selling beyond the initial launch
• How to use other people’s audiences to get eyeballs on — and sales of — your book
• Your book description, the most critical words of all: what they must say, and what they definitely must not say
• How to test your book description to make sure it resonates with buyers
• A simple work smart, not hard social media strategy that can build you an audience of buyers quickly and without all the blood, sweat, and tears
• How to (ethically) hack your way into Amazon’s “you bought this book; how about these” email blasts
• How to use your book to sell more stuff to your readers, for years to come — 99% of authors neglect this, which is why they’re in the poorhouse
• How to get booked on podcasts that can spread the word about your book to all new audiences
• The major service that can explode your sales if you know how to use it
• Do you need an author website, and if so, what should be on it?
• and plenty more!
