Scholarship for Build Your Author Platform Online Course

We Grow Media is very excited to offer our first ever scholarship for the upcoming Build Your Author Platform course.

I have worked with hundreds of writers and teach a range of online courses. In the latest session of Build Your Author Platform, I am offering three different packages, with lower price points than I ever have before. I know that the course has a powerful effect on the careers of writers who take it, and I want to be mindful to ensure key elements are accessible by a wide range of people.

I’d like to take it even a step further, by offering a scholarship for the spring session of Build Your Author Platform. The recipient will gain access to the “Ultimate” package of the course, a $799 value, which includes:

  • 8 career-shifting lessons that take you step by step through the process of how to develop your author platform.
  • Personalized feedback via weekly homework assignments, where I directly address your challenges and opportunities with advice to ensure you are on the right track.
  • The ability to ask questions 24/7 via our private online forum. Here, you can discuss key topics in developing your platform with myself and other students in the course.
  • 8 Exclusive Insider Calls, where I get on the phone with the entire class and you can ask anything. Here you have a chance to brainstorm ideas; dig into specific challenges you are trying to move past; and build close relationships with myself and the other writers in the course. All Exclusive Insider Calls are recorded, so if you miss a call, you always have access to the recording.
  • 6 Guest Expert Calls from leading publishing professionals. These experts get on the phone with the class, and allow you to ask them any question you want. They provide personalized insight that helps you build your author platform. All Guest Expert Calls are recorded, so if you miss a call, you always have access to the recording.

While the class is an incredible value at $799, I do understand that some people will not be able to join us due to financial constraints. My passion is teaching and the idea of this scholarship is something that I’m very happy to make a part of my spring course.
