Creating a successful book is too big of a project to go at alone.

All the knowledge in the world can't help if you don't act on it.

So to make it even easier for you maintain your momentum until your book is out there, we've created the Nonfiction Authors' Community.

Join 120+ nonfiction authors for high-quality help, guidance, and support.

Writing Accountability Groups

Get unstuck and make real progress. A check-in of what you've written, a plan for the next week, and 30 minutes of live, undistracted work on your top book task.

2x weekly: Weds 4pm CET, Fri 12pm noon CET, and more added as needed.

Quick, reliable insights

Unclear on how to navigate the practicalities of scoping, writing, beta reading, or publishing? Need quick advice about tools or techniques?

Our discussion group is full of authors who have been there, done that, and returned to help you out.

Live expert Q&As

Every so often, we're delighted to host an author who has enjoyed remarkable success creating recommendable nonfiction.

See the resources page for the highlights from some of our recent guests.

What our members love

ā€œSuch a worthwhile use of an hourā€”a great opportunity. Thanks for putting this together each week.ā€

ā€œJoining this community has accelerated both my writing and my productivity. The weekly sessionsā€”talking to other authors about my goals, and even just making the timeā€”have been so helpful for reaching and staying in flow state.ā€

ā€œGreat to have the pull of accountability.Ā I showed up half asleep and took some baby steps. Thank you!ā€

ā€œVery grateful for this session. I just spent another 30 mins after the meetup to polish my work up. The unrelated, offhand remark about signposting just made my head go:Ā šŸ’”! Really thought provoking about how I want to proceed forward with the writingā€¦ā€

ā€œWonderful first experience with the community. Lots of value and fun conversations.ā€

ā€œWriting a book can be a lonely endeavor. As a first-time author, you have a million questions about your content, the publishing process, how to get feedback, market your book, stay on track, etc. But you donā€™t have anybody around to help you. Robā€™s community has been instrumental in helping me stay on track, get answers to my questions, and get support from my peers who are going through the same journey. If you want to write a useful book, I highly recommend doing it as part of this group.ā€

ā€œThis is one community where hanging around and participating doesnā€™t feel like work ā€” everything here is interesting and of high value for the aspiring author.ā€

ā€œI am making such progress as a result of this weekly session.ā€

ā€œYa know what else was amazing about that? That I could, at 7 in the morning, fire up Zoom and joinĀ RJ Youngling,Ā Arvid Kahl, andĀ RobfitzĀ in a small group. Sipping coffee while sitting with thought and industry leaders. Freakin awesome. Thanks.ā€
