What if getting your book into the world didn’t have to be an uphill battle? 

You have a story or a message that could change someone’s life.

But right now, you might feel scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck somewhere between “I know I’m supposed to do this” and “I have no idea what to do.” What if you didn’t have to figure it all out alone?

The InkWell Collective is a monthly membership community for heart-led writers of non-fiction, memoir, and fiction who are ready to move from stuck and scattered… to focused and free.

you may be here because...
• You’re an aspiring author with a powerful story or a life-changing message inside you, and you’re not sure how to get it out into the world, or how to get it published.

• You’ve already published, but reaching readers feels harder than writing the book ever was.

• You’re tired of the hustle-and-grind advice that leaves you burned out, overwhelmed, and still invisible.

If any of that sounds familiar — you’re in exactly the right place.

Imagine a Different Kind of Writing Journey

Imagine waking up on a Monday morning and actually feeling excited about your writing life. Not overwhelmed by everything you haven’t done yet. Not torn between your “real” life and your writing life (newsflash: it’s all your real life). Not paralyzed by all the advice pulling you in different directions.

Just… clear. Supported. Moving forward.

That’s what The InkWell Collective is designed to give you.

Together, we’re shifting the conversation from hustle and grind to authenticity and grace — so you can reach your ideal readers by being yourself and enjoy writing again.

This isn’t another course with a checklist to finish. It’s not a system that only works if you already have a big platform. 

It’s a community and coaching experience built around you — your voice, your values, your vision.

Because the path forward isn’t about working harder. It’s about finally having the right support.

The Four Cornerstones of Book Publishing

No matter where you are on your journey, you’ll find tools, coaching, and encouragement across all four areas in the InkWell Collective:

Grounding 

Who you are as a writer — your values, beliefs, identity, and motivation. This is about grounding yourself in authenticity so your work flows from a place of alignment and confidence.

Writing

Developing your craft (whether you're writing non-fiction, fiction, children's books, or memoir), discovering your voice, and building consistent habits that keep you moving forward — even when life gets distracting. 

Publishing

Understanding the paths available (traditional, hybrid, or self-publishing), knowing the process, and making the choices that best fit your goals and your audience.

Marketing

Attracting readers in authentic ways, without hustle or hype — creating strategies that feel good and actually connect.

Competitive Advantage Bonus: Coaching Discounts  

For InkWell members only, I offer a 15% discount on one-on-one coaching. 
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 100+ books

I give Alice Crider all the credit for getting me going on a ‘real’ writer’s journey. She directed me through each step of the process — from a dream to an outline to a writer’s conference to a full proposal to finding an agent, and now to a contract with a traditional publisher.

— Lori Kuykendall, author and speaker

I got so much more than I expected. Alice is warm and thoughtful, and she brought in expert guests whose enthusiasm was so insightful and instructive. I discovered some things that completely changed my way of thinking, and I started putting them into practice immediately.

— Doug Newton, author and speaker

About Alice

You might be wondering... Who is this, and can she actually help me?
Fair question. Here's the scoop:

Publishing wasn’t always easy for me either. I started as a struggling single mom working part-time as an editorial assistant. No degree, no connections, and definitely no roadmap. I took the long road. I learned a lot the hard way.

But I kept showing up, and along the way I discovered something important: the authors who succeed aren’t necessarily the ones who work the hardest. They’re the ones who have the right support and the right mindset.

Now, after almost 30 years as a professional editor, former literary agent, podcast host, and working author, I’ve helped hundreds of authors get their books into the world — including New York Times and ECPA bestsellers.

But here’s what sets me apart from other publishing coaches:

I’m a certified life coach with almost 20 years of experience in transformational coaching.

Most publishing teachers can tell you what to do. I can help you figure out why you’re not doing it — and what’s quietly standing in your way. Because 90% of what stops writers isn’t a lack of information, willpower, or strategy. It’s the invisible stuff: the limiting beliefs, the fear of being seen, the sneaky self-doubt that shows up right when momentum starts building.

That’s my superpower. And I’d love to put it to work for you.

Alice helped me understand that marketing is something I can do and actually be excited about. She gave me the tools and confidence I needed to market to my readers in a way that felt genuine and valuable.” — Jenna Benton, self-published author and writing coach
Sometimes our dreams are too small. Alice helped me align my goals with what’s truly possible for my life. From hoping to build a women’s conference — to a sold-out venue!— Dawna Hetzler, author, speaker, conference director

In just six weeks I learned to identify my ideal reader and how to successfully market my book to them using proven, out-of-the-box methods.” — Larry Dugger, pastor and multi-published author

"I appreciate your encouraging emails and all the wonderful resources you offer us. The InkWell is such a positive space and group to be part of.— Cheryl Seacomb, children's book author
"Alice approaches coaching and writing from a fresh perspective of enjoying what we do rather than from our duty to write. Her inspiring InkWell emails lift my attitude to new levels of confidence and accomplishment!"—Judy Turner, published writer (Guideposts)
