Finally Write the Book That's Been Burning Inside You for Years
You know that message inside you needs to get out. It's been keeping you up at night, nagging at you during quiet moments, whispering "what if" every time you see another author's success story.
But something keeps stopping you.
Maybe you've started writing a dozen times, only to abandon it when life gets busy. Or you finished a draft but have no clue what comes next. You might have even published a book, but it's sitting there collecting digital dust while you wonder why nobody's buying it.
The frustration is real. You watch other authors building businesses around their books while yours sits unfinished - or worse, finished but invisible.
And don't even get started on trying to promote it. You've posted on social media, sent messages to everyone you know, maybe even felt a little desperate asking people to buy. But crickets.
You know your book could change lives. You know it could open doors to speaking gigs, coaching programs, and real income. But right now? It feels like an impossible mountain to climb.
The Book Challenge Framework: Your 16-Week Path to Published Author
Most aspiring authors fail because they're missing four critical elements. We've built each one into this program:
A Non-Negotiable Deadline
No more "I'll finish it someday." You've got 16 weeks and a finish line that's real. That deadline becomes your best friend because it forces you to stop overthinking and start writing.
Weekly Accountability That Actually Works
You're not writing alone in your pajamas hoping for the best. Every week you show up, share progress, get feedback from experienced coaches, and stay on track with other authors who refuse to quit.
Strategic Competition (The Fun Kind)
Nothing moves you forward like seeing other writers hit milestones. A little friendly competition keeps you motivated when inspiration fades and excuses start calling.
The Tech & Publishing Roadmap Made Simple
From manuscript to marketing, we hand you the exact system that's worked for 100+ published books. No guessing. No overwhelm. Just a clear path from idea to income-generating author.
Why Season 14 is Your Moment
Let's be real - you've been thinking about this book for how long now?
And every day you wait, you're leaving money on the table. Real money. The kind that comes from book sales, speaking gigs that pay, coaching programs built around your expertise, and courses people actually want to buy.
But here's what really hurts: somewhere right now, someone needs exactly what you know. They're struggling with the problem you solved. They're making the mistakes you learned from. And they can't find you because your book isn't out there yet.
This isn't just about revenue (though let's talk about that for a second).
Every week your book sits unfinished, you miss:
Sales opportunities at conferences and events where buyers are ready
Speaking engagements that only go to published authors
Coaching clients who want to work with the person who "wrote the book" on it
Product launches tied to your book's release
The compound effect of having your book work for you 24/7
But the real cost? The authority, credibility, and opportunities that only come from being a published author. The doors that stay closed. The stages you don't get invited to. The income streams you never build.
Season 14 starts January 26, 2026. That means if you apply and get accepted now, you'll have your book done by May 2026.
Not "someday." Not "when you have more time." Not "after you figure it out on your own."
Here's the thing about our application process - we only accept authors who are truly ready to commit to this 16-week journey. We're not looking for "someday" people. We're looking for authors who are ready to get it done NOW.
Applications close when we fill our cohort, and with 13 seasons of proven results, spots fill fast.
Real Authors. Real Books. Real Results.
This isn't theory. This is 14 seasons of aspiring authors who showed up, did the work, and walked away with published books in their hands.
Over 50 authors. Over 100 books published. 14 seasons of people who stopped waiting and started writing.
Your book could be in the next cohort.

But Here's Where It Gets Even Better…
Early Bird Power Bonus for the First 5 People Who Pay in Full
Here's the truth: You can write an amazing book, but if no one knows about it, it collects digital dust.
Most new authors panic when they realize writing the book is only half the battle. The other half? Actually getting it in front of people who need it.
If you're already a coach, speaker, or entrepreneur, you might be comfortable with landing pages and email sequences. But if you're new to online marketing, trying to figure out tech while building your book empire can feel overwhelming.
Even if you understand the concepts, implementing them while juggling everything else? That's a different beast.
That's why the first 5 people who pay in full get our Digital Mastery Book Launch Funnel done for them — absolutely free ($7,997 value).
Here's what we're building for you:
Landing Page Build-Out – We'll create your list-building landing page on your WordPress site or HighLevel account. If you're using a different platform or already have a web designer, we'll give you step-by-step instructions. And if you don't have a system yet, you'll get our white-labeled version of HighLevel free for 6 months.
Email Sequence and Copy – We'll write the autoresponder emails and sequence for you so you can build your list and keep readers engaged without stressing over what to say.
Lead Magnet Design – We'll help you create a free gift that pulls in your ideal readers and makes them say, "I need this book."
You focus on writing your book. We'll handle the marketing machine that gets it seen.

We're ready to review your application.

Meet Your Facilitator: Vanessa Collins
Vanessa Collins is a Publishing Coach and Business Automation Strategist who helps authors turn their books into assets that extend far beyond publication.
For over 17 years, Vanessa has guided hundreds of aspiring and published authors through the process of writing, publishing, and positioning their books with clarity and intention. Through her signature Book Challenge program, she has supported the creation of more than 100 published books, helping authors move from ideas to completed manuscripts and into purposeful next steps.
What sets Vanessa apart? Her structured, results-focused approach that eliminates the chaos most writers face.
She believes that most people don't fail to write a book because of a lack of talent or ideas. They fail because they lack clear structure, accountability, and a plan for what the book is meant to do once it's finished.
In Book Challenge 2026, Vanessa brings together mindset, messaging, and implementation to support authors who are ready to finish what they start and build intentionally beyond the book.
Her work is grounded in clarity, consistency, and commitment, helping authors create books that support their business, calling, or long-term vision.
If you're ready to stop starting and finally finish, Vanessa will meet you exactly where you are and guide you all the way to "The End."
