The Fiction Author's Path to Presence - Panoptic Foundations The Fiction Author’s Path to Presence is a self-paced, step-by-step course membership for fiction authors who want to build a website, grow an audience, and market their books… without burning out.

Stop duct-taping your author career together with scattered advice and hope.

It’s time for a clear path forward.

Build the platform your stories deserve.

The Fiction Author’s Path to Presence ~ enrollment is open.

I have three highly valuable resources in my link page. Have you checked them out? 💖

It’s not a game you need to play when you learn how to be strategic. But all habits are hard to break, so be kind to yourself on this journey.

The real secret to a sustainable strategy is to be intentional without burning out, and enjoying the process along the way.

Pantsers might hate this haha. But your future-self will thank you. Promise.

For the relatively small amount of time it takes to learn and set up a realistic strategy to grow your author career that fits your lifestyle, the payoff is well worth it.

Stop worrying about the algorithm.

“I’m an author. ‘Sustainable strategy’ is biz-speak. What does it even mean?”

It means understanding that frequency ≠ consistency.
That quantity ≠ quality.

It means having a plan that you can continue to implement over and over for years to come, without getting frustrated and burning out.

Myth: Consistency means posting multiple times every day. 🙈

Reality: Consistency means showing up with purpose; at a frequency you can sustain. Twice a week with clarity beats daily burnout. 🙌

Authors: Is social media feeling sluggish?

Here’s a trick to mitigate that.

Every day look for one new account to follow that aligns with your target audience in some way and start engaging with them.

It’s easy to get complacent with our engagement. It feels safe to stay within the circles
