I teach expert authors to build six-figure book businesses without Amazon
From a punk fanzine in the 1980s to a six-figure indie self publishing business today, one principle has never changed: create and sell direct.
Bypass the corporations. Own your audience. Own your platform. Build something durable on your own terms.
I have been a direct-response publisher for over thirty years, an email marketer since before the term existed.
I have also survived two complete market collapses (9/11 and the pandemic) by pivoting overnight because the skill – finding people, building trust, making the sale – transfers to any market.
I have built three separate six-figure indie publishing businesses from scratch.
Have written copy that was complained about in Parliament, and had US government thugs kick in my door and freeze my assets because of what I wrote and published.
I have woken up to £35,000 in my bank account from a single email. And been a drug addict and recovered (over a decade clean).
As well as selling 65,000 copies of a foraging field guide without a publisher, an agent, or on someone elses platform.
I do not teach theory. I teach what I have done – and what I am still doing, every day, from a Shopify store and an email list I own.
