Section 2: Your Book

What is the title of your book?

If it is not published yet, a working title is perfectly fine.

What's the current status of your book?

Published

Publishing within the next 6 months

In progress / manuscript stage

The AIC supports authors at different stages — this helps us understand timing.

In one or two sentences, what is your book about and who is it for?

Clarity prompt: Don’t aim for perfection here. Clear and simple beats clever.

Section 3: Where You are Right Now

Which of these feel true for you right now? (select all that apply)

My book sales are inconsistent or have stalled

My book isn’t generating leads or inquiries

I’m unsure how my book fits into my business or career

I want speaking, consulting, or training opportunities

I rely mostly on Amazon for sales

I don’t have a clear plan for what comes next

Clarity prompt: This helps us understand what kind of support would be most valuable.

What feels most frustrating or unclear about your book right now?

Clarity prompt: This isn’t about complaining — it’s about clarity. Say what’s actually true.

Section 4: Authority & Opportunity

Ideally, what would you like your book to lead to over the next 12–24 months?

Clarity prompt: Think beyond sales — authority, opportunities, credibility, impact.

How do you currently describe yourself professionally?

Clarity prompt: Examples: coach, consultant, speaker, entrepreneur, expert, author.

Section 5: Readiness & Fit

Why does focusing on your book now feel important to you?

Clarity prompt: Timing matters. This helps us understand your urgency and intention.

What have you already tried to promote or leverage your book?

Clarity prompt: There’s no judgment here — experience gives us useful context.

If this experience were successful for you, what would be different afterward?

Clarity prompt: Describe outcomes, not tasks. What would actually change?

Section 6: Commitment & Alignment

The Author Influencer Circle is strategic mentorship, not a quick-fix program. Are you open to guidance, feedback, and rethinking your approach?
