Hey everyone! It’s good to be here. I’m not published anywhere right now, but I hope to be by the end of the coursework! Finally, I just wanted to ask @Sid Myla for his CV, since I can’t find your accolades anywhere!

Most authors just want to sell a few more books. But you’re not like most authors. You’re here because your book was meant for more. The Author Games is for serious authors who want to turn their book into a bigger movement: → Speaking gigs → Clients → Partnerships → A personal brand → Consistent income You’re not just in a group. You’re in a circle of creators building real platforms — ones they own, control, and grow on their terms. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ❤️ A Quick Note From Me This is a brand-new community, and I need your help to bring it to life. I don’t want this to become just another quiet group with drive-by posts and no real energy. If you show up, share value, ask good questions, and help others win (I read every post :). Whether it’s through The Author Games rewards or personal shoutouts, I’ll take care of the people who take care of the group. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 📚 How to Get Started 1. Start with the course: Author Games 2. Check the Calendar for weekly Q&A calls 3. Introduce yourself and tell us about your book and the movement you are here to create 4. Every valuable post, like, comment, and share gives you points to unlock rewards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 📜 Group Guidelines: 1. Lead With Love, Stay With Respect Encourage others. Challenge ideas, not people. 2. No Spam or Link Drops This is not the place to push your book or service. We'd love to learn about your book, but it must be meaningful and valuable to others. 3. Introduce Yourself Start with a quick post: 📖 What’s your book about? 🎯 What’s your goal as an author?

I used to pay thousands per book to get deep editorial feedback. Plot structure. Character arcs. Emotional pacing. Line edits. Worth it? Sometimes (it's hard to hire the right people). But today, I’m doing all of that 100x faster, better, and cheaper using ChatGPT… and it costs me $20/month. Here’s how I’m reviving an old manuscript that’s been collecting dust for years: 1️⃣ I dropped the full manuscript into ChatGPT (yes, you can upload big docs now) 2️⃣ I asked it to analyze each chapter for pacing, clarity, tension, and character consistency 3️⃣ It flagged weak scenes, identified flat dialogue, and even found plot threads I forgot about 4️⃣ I fed it my editor’s notes, and had it map out an action plan to improve everything—without starting from scratch And it doesn’t just tell me what’s wrong. It gives me options—better lines, alternate scenes, missing beats. It’s like having an editor, ghostwriter, and story consultant in my back pocket—on demand. If you’re an author with an old draft or half-finished book, this isn’t just helpful. It’s a freaking superpower (if you use it the right way). 💬 Have questions about using AI for your book? Drop them in the comments or DM me “AI Questions” and I’ll make a training.

Hey gang. This is super exciting, just wanted to introduce myself. I've been self publishing for 10 years and have been fortunate to have sold a boatload of books through KDP over that time. I'm currently looking to up my game and expand my distribution to a direct to consumer model. Look forward to connecting with everyone who ends up in here!

If you’ve published a book… And you’re still invisible… This is your wake-up call. There are 2 types of authors in this world: Type 1: Publishes a book. Hopes Amazon saves them. Gets 3 sympathy sales and disappears into obscurity. Type 2: Builds a real platform. Attracts buyers. Grows an audience. And cashes in with high-ticket offers, brand deals, and business opportunities they never saw coming. The Author Games exist to turn you into Type 2. 🎯 The 3-Stage Path to Playing Bigger: STEP 1: Build Your Homebase We build the engine: your offer, your funnel, your platform. This is where you stop renting space on Amazon and start building an asset you own. STEP 2: Get Traffic We make it work: simple content that drives focused attention—without gimmicks or chasing algorithms (dancing optional). STEP 3: Play Bigger We scale: partnerships, paid speaking gigs, podcast invites, premium pricing. This is where authors become entrepreneurs—and the money gets real. 🏆 How You Win (and What You Get) This isn’t a course. This is a game.
