A note from Anna
I'm Anna. I'm a New York Times bestselling author who's worked in publishing for over three decades and helped countless entrepreneurs publish books that have transformed their businesses. I've also recorded hundreds of conversations with authors, entrepreneurs and industry insiders about what actually works when it comes to books.
Some of it went into my book, On Good Authority.
Much of it didn't.
And more importantly, no book—mine included—can tell you exactly what to do in your specific situation.
This can.
On Good Authority was the starting point.
This is where it gets even more useful.
Ask a question about any aspect of publishing an authority-building book and get a clear, experience-based answer, culled from hundreds of interviews with top authors and entrepreneurs.
Start AskingReal questions
Ask the kind of thing you'd ask me or another expert over coffee.
Plain, direct questions about your book and your business. The chat answers from experience—not theory, not templates.
What kind of book would actually grow my business?
Can I realistically make money from a book?
Why isn't my book doing anything?
What would you tell me if I were your client?
How do I upload a book to Amazon?
Can I get my book in bookstores?
And literally anything else you can think of.
Some of the experts interviewed include...
Chris Voss, Robert Greene, Jay Abraham, Adam Carolla, Annabelle Gurwitch, Nicolas Cole, Jane Friedman, Alex Strathdee and hundreds more.
Pull from the archive.
The chat is loaded with interview transcripts from my interviews with the world's top authors and publishing experts. Most people would never come close to getting this sort of access. Right here is where you can ask it invaluable information.
What did Chris Voss and Robert Greene say to Anna about how books become successful?
What patterns show up across authors whose books actually drive business?
What do successful authors do differently when they already have a company?
