Plan, track, and grow your writing business with confidence.

This downloadable toolkit helps authors plan their goals, events, and income with clarity, confidence, and control.

AUTHOR ESSENTIAL TOOLKIT


"Plan like a pro—even if you're just getting started."


Many authors don't realize it right away, but even before you hit publish, you become more than a writer--you become a business owner. Every book you launch, every reader you connect with, and every dollar you earn is part of your author journey.

Just like plotting a novel, your business needs structure.

The Author Essential Toolkit combines practical tracking tools, reflective questions, and key checklists, so that everything lives in one place.

All the tools. All the clarity. All in one place.

Get clear. Get organized. Get writing.


What is it?

These are the tools I wish I had when I started. The toolkit is a full suite of goal-setting worksheet, business tracking spreadsheets, and event planning tools, designed by an author--for authors.

About Me

Hi! I'm Nancy Wakeley, author of the award-winning Kate Tyler novels. I created this Toolkit after feeling scattered and reactive in my writing business--and I knew I wasn't the only one.

If you've ever wished for a system to stay focused, track your efforts, and actually feel like a professional author, this is for you.

Clarity. Confidence. Control

That's what this toolkit is all about.
