About Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Joel Pitney.

I’ve been helping authors get published for a decade and I want to help you, too.

I helped launch my first book onto the New York Times Bestseller list, and soon began working with a wide range of authors to help bring their books to the world. Over the years, I’ve seen handfuls of other agencies and courses pop up with promises to help authors become bestsellers overnight, or to publish their books in only 30 days. These claims drive me crazy because they’re either untrue, or cutting corners. Neither leads to being successful and professional.

From the beginning, I’ve promised an honest approach to doing business and this course is no different. I debunk the hype with proven, results-driven strategies that deliver uncompromising results.

In this course, I show you exactly what we do on a daily basis. I use the same techniques my team and I have used to help hundreds of authors bring their books to life.
