AUTHOR GROWTH LAB

The Author Growth Lab, part of the Business Resource Library, is a resource hub designed for independent authors who are ready to do more than just publish a book; they want to build a career, a platform, and a legacy. Inside, you’ll find actionable tools, insider strategies, and step-by-step guidance to help you navigate the publishing world with confidence.

What You’ll Learn in the Lab

  • Publishing Pathways – Learn the differences between self-publishing, hybrid publishing, and traditional routes, and which one fits your goals.
  • Distribution Strategies – Go beyond Amazon: explore independent bookstores, libraries, airport stores, and direct-to-reader sales.
  • Marketing Systems – Discover how to build long-term visibility instead of relying on “launch week hype.”
  • Brand Building – Position yourself as more than an author: become a thought leader, speaker, and entrepreneur.
  • Revenue Streams – Explore how to turn one book into multiple income opportunities: journals, courses, speaking engagements, and more.

Inside the Author Growth Lab

  • Step-by-Step Guides – Action plans for marketing, distribution, and scaling your book sales.
  • Templates & Tools – Pitch decks, press release templates, media kits, and launch calendars.
  • Video Trainings – Bite-sized lessons breaking down the publishing and marketing process.
  • Expert Insights – Lessons learned from industry insiders and bestselling indie authors.
  • Community Access – Connect with authors who are building alongside you.

Couvent Collective Resources

As part of the Business Resource Library, members of the Author Growth Lab also gain access to the Couvent Collective’s business resources:

Publishing a book is only the beginning. The Author Growth Lab helps you move from manuscript to movement by giving you the strategies, systems, and resources to actually reach readers, sell books, and grow your author brand.
