Tired of Struggling To Build a Giant Platform?
You Can Win Fans and Influence Readers When You Harness the Invisible Mechanism Responsible for 90% of Your Results
you may be here because...
You want to publish a book... and you have questions about book publishing and platform building.
You self-published a book... but you're not sure how to reach readers.
You published traditionally... and it seems like your publisher didn't market your book enough, so now your book sales numbers are low.
Maybe it's not working the way you dreamed it would. Maybe you vacillate between giving it your all and thinking you should give it up.
What if there was a better way to get out of that tug-of-war? What if there was a way to get your book(s) in front of thousands of readers without being pushy or salesy or shamelessly self-promoting?

If you’ve ever wondered if the cards are stacked against you in book publishing, you’re probably right. There is a lot of competition in the marketplace, and it’s a challenge to be heard and seen.
But I'm here to help you succeed no matter how steep the competition appears to be.
If you’ve had a hard time breaking into book publishing, or if you’ve published and didn’t have the success you hoped for, it’s not your fault. There’s a lot of information out there, and it can be confusing and daunting.
Sometimes all the do-this, do-that information overload actually keeps you from success. And it’s OK! Because there’s a way out…AND….
It's time to BREAK THAT MOLD!
"Some people can guide your writing, others your inner journey. Alice can do both! I have worked with Alice on books and I’ve benefitted from her life coaching. After every appointment with Alice I walk away knowing myself better and understanding what positive choices I need to make to benefit my life and writing."
-Tricia Goyer, bestselling author of 70+ books
Now, let's talk about some common obstacles you might need to overcome as you consider joining The InkWell Collective...
You think coaching is for others: because a) you are a coach yourself, b) you assume that once you publish you never have to touch your book again, or c) you would rather slug it out on your own and hope for the best. But guess what? The most successful people in the world work with coaches.
Procrastination is your comfort zone: you prefer dreaming about book publishing rather than actually doing it. Since real participation is required, you may prefer to sit on the sidelines and wait for someday. News flash! Someday never arrives.
Your money mindset is wonky: if you want readers to invest in your books, you need to invest in yourself to be able to grow your business. For example, the ROI on life coaching is as much as 300 to 500%. Several years ago, I spent my last $750 on life coaching. Since then, I've tripled my income and my fulfillment in life.
"What if you could build a large tribe of followers giving you the platform you need to be successful in book publishing? With Alice Crider's Author Coaching you can! In just six weeks I learned to identify my ideal reader and how to successfully market my book to them by using proven out-of-the-box methods."
~Larry Dugger, pastor and multi-published author
"The Author Access MasterClass course helped me understand that marketing is something I can do and actually be excited about as an author. Alice gave me the tools and confidence I needed to market to my readers in a way that felt genuine and valuable.
Thanks Alice!”
-Jenna Benton, self-published author and writing coach
you may be thinking...
"With MILLIONS of books, teachers, conferences, and courses that teach writing and publishing, why should I trust YOU to coach me?"
I'm glad you asked...
PUblishing wasn't always easy for me either.
I took the long Road...
I learned everything the hard way.
I almost got fired once(!) and I escaped at least half a dozen layoffs.
But I kept pursuing my dreams, and in the process, I discovered the secrets I've included in this course.
You need a competitive advantage in today's book publishing market, and I want to help you get one.
25+ Years experience
As a professional editor and former literary agent, I can give you the inside scoop on how to get your book proposal approved.
I have massive industry connections, and I can introduce you to others who can help you succeed.
Most importantly, with me you get 15+ years of life coaching experience--because it all begins with subconscious beliefs. We'll start with clearing out old cobwebs that stop you.
There are other experts out there. Some might have more experience than me. They might be amazing editors, writers, or marketers.
But you can pit me against the best writing teachers and publishing gurus out there, and I would absolutely win when it comes to...
COACHING
Certified Life Coach. With 15+ years of experience in Transformational Mindset Coaching, I don't give advice; I help you discover life-changing solutions for overcoming the subconscious beliefs that keep you stuck.
Mindset Mastery. I use a unique coaching technique that identifies and clears away stubborn brain patterns and limiting beliefs. My clients experience more power, freedom, creativity, and peace of mind in their personal lives and work (and so can you!).
Author Coach. I serve authors with life coaching sessions that help them get unstuck when life gets in the way of their productivity and creativity.
Expert Editing: Dozens of the books I've edited have become not only Amazon bestsellers, but also New York Times and ECPA bestsellers.
Paid My Dues. I was a struggling single mom with no college degree when I began my career in publishing. I started as a part-time editorial assistant and took college classes at night. I learned to edit from some of the best editors in the industry, who patiently allowed me to look over their shoulders. I took coaching courses on my own time, coached clients "in my spare time" and read hundreds of books on writing and business.
Adventure Seeker. I have a horse, eight grandkids, and a private pilot's license. I have climbed 16 of Colorado's 14,000-foot mountains. Obviously, these have nothing to do with book publishing, but I love adventure and have a fun and busy life like you do. :-)
Best Coach for the Job. Period. If you can't trust me with your publishing career, you probably can't trust anyone. You'll have to look long and hard to find someone with the combination of knowledge and skills I have.
Here's how
It works
As soon as you join The InkWell Collective, you'll have access to the community and our library of resources, where you'll see videos and printable worksheets.
In addition to the resources and materials inside the library, you'll have access to the private InkWell Discussion Chat where you can ask questions, celebrate wins, and network with other authors and writers.
One per month, I host Zoom video Q&A sessions where you can ask questions, receive coaching, and learn from industry expert guests. Dates and times for these sessions will be posted in the community and emailed to you.
If you miss any of the live sessions, don't stress about it -- they'll be recorded and available for replay
in the library afterward.
It's like an extended writer's conference--without the travel expense!

I got so much more than I expected out of Alice's first program. She is warm and thoughtful, and she brought in several expert guests whose expertise and enthusiasm were so insightful and instructive. I learned also from my fellow writers through their questions and comments. I discovered some things that completely changed my way of thinking, which helped me know how I can be effective in the marketing process. I started putting these things into practice before I was even halfway through the course.”
~Doug Newton, author and speaker
"I signed up for Alice's masterclass because it was so well reviewed by folks I trust and because of the cutting-edge marketing instruction combined with personal growth. Toss in Coach Alice Crider’s name and I was first in line! This class has increased my confidence tenfold, and I’ve loved interacting with my “course-mates” on our private Facebook group. Best gift I’ve given myself in a long while.”
~Cathy Elliot, novelist
