About this course
Tanya Wilde adapts business planning to an author’s career. Vision, mission and personal priorities come before the publishing and platform discussion, so the plan is framed around the kind of author business the learner wants to build.
Three central lessons cover that direction, publishing choices, audience-building, money and marketing. The proposed playbook brings those decisions together. It is a business-planning course for writers, rather than instruction in plot, prose style or manuscript editing.

- Organizing decisions in an author-business playbook
Seven entries total 35 minutes across three sections, including introductory, next-step and bonus items. The intended audience includes aspiring and published authors. Commitment is requested, but an existing book launch or a particular publishing background is not a prerequisite.
A playbook template is advertised in the resources, with access still to be checked. Planning can begin in a notebook or document without paying for publishing services. Actual book production, advertising or other commercial services may cost money, and the course does not guarantee sales or a particular author income.
