The Strategic Author
Summer Sprint Series
Keep the momentum. Don't let summer stall your book.
June 8 – August 31, 2026 · Three sprints · Open enrollment
Summer is when momentum dies. This is the antidote.
Most authors lose the summer. Life gets looser, routines fall apart, and the book that was moving in May sits untouched until September. By then you're not just behind - you're rebuilding.
The Strategic Author Summer Sprint Series is a structured 12-week program for authors who want to keep moving. Three focused two-week sprints, a clear framework for setting and hitting your own goals, and a community of serious authors working alongside you.
No assigned topic. No cohort curriculum. You choose your lane, you set your goal, and you do the work - with structure and support that actually helps.
Choose your track
At kickoff you choose your sprint goal and track. You can shift tracks between sprints, repeat a lane, or define your own goal entirely. These are starting points, not assignments.
-
Move the manuscript forward with the support of a community of fellow authors. Draft, revise, proof, or get it out the door.
-
Discoverability — BISAC codes, keywords, blurb, reviews - the infrastructure that determines whether strangers can find your book and decide it's for them.
-
Email list, website, Substack, social presence - figure out what your platform actually is today and build the simplest system you can sustain.
-
Build your target agent list, develop your query letter and synopsis, and get your pitch materials into fighting shape.
-
KDP Select tradeoffs, platform decisions, pricing ladder - choose and implement your distribution strategy without chaos.
-
ARC team, preorder page, newsletter swaps, promo stack - a launch built as a repeatable system, not a chaotic event.
