A done-for-you setup and guided handoff of your author business operating system. We organize your reader list, launch workflows, ARC/review process, email marketing, funnels, and sales tracking into one command center you and your assistant can actually use.
A done-for-you implementation for established authors ready to run on systems.
When you had one book, a simple email tool and a spreadsheet were enough. But now you have a backlist, a reader list, launch cycles, ARC and review needs, promotions, direct sales, and maybe an assistant, and the backend still only works because you remember how it's supposed to work.
That's not a discipline problem. It's an infrastructure problem. The business simply outgrew the scattered tools that got you here, and rebuilding every launch, chasing every reader, and holding it all in your head is quietly costing you sales, reviews, and writing time.
Courses hand you another to-do list. Software hands you another empty login. The Setup Intensive fills the gap between knowing what should happen and having the working system built to support it. We configure it, connect it, test it, and hand it off, organized and ready to use.
Import and organize your reader list with tags, segments, and clear reader journeys from subscriber to superfan.
Email and domain authentication set up so your campaigns and sequences send from an organized, trusted foundation.
Repeatable launch workflows so you stop rebuilding every release from scratch and run a professional launch each time.
ARC interest, delivery, reminders, review links, and follow-up organized into a process you can actually track.
Opt-ins, reader magnet delivery, template pages, and direct sales connections wired into one connected system.
A custom dashboard and basic reporting connections so you can finally see what's working across your business.
We start with a kickoff call and a clear intake so we understand your books, readers, tools, and goals before anything gets built.
We configure the core infrastructure: reader CRM, email/domain, launch and ARC workflows, funnels, direct sales connections, and your dashboard, and then we test it.
We walk you (and your assistant, if you have one) through the system on a handoff call so you know exactly how to use it.
After handoff, we handle reasonable fixes, workflow corrections, and cleanup for 30 days so the system settles in smoothly.
From scattered to systemized. From reactive to repeatable. From "I have to remember everything" to "the system shows me what happens next."
Readers, launches, ARC/review, email, funnels, direct sales, and reporting connected in one organized place.
Launch and follow-up infrastructure you can reuse for every book instead of rebuilding from scratch.
A system your assistant can work from: starting-point drafts and clear workflows instead of a blank page.
Less last-minute scramble, clearer visibility, and a backend that finally supports your next stage of growth.
The Setup Intensive is a one-time setup fee plus your ongoing ACC subscription, with everything laid out clearly, up front.
The ACC Author Business Setup Intensive
$1,500 setup
+ $297/month ongoing ACC subscription
You pay the setup fee today. Your $297/month subscription isn't charged until exactly 30 days after you register, so your setup fee covers that first month while your systems are being built. That first monthly payment counts as month 1 of a 3-month minimum subscription commitment, so the minimum is met 3 months after your first monthly charge. After that, your monthly subscription can be canceled with 30 days' notice. Setup fee is refundable before kickoff/intake begins (minus processing fees) and non-refundable once kickoff/intake starts.

The most common questions we hear before someone enrolls in the Setup Intensive.
You pay the setup fee ($1,500, or 2 payments of $850) at checkout. Your $297/month ACC subscription isn't charged then. Instead, your first monthly payment is automatically processed exactly 30 days after you register, regardless of where setup stands at that point.
Yes. Your first monthly payment, charged 30 days after registration, counts as month 1 of the 3-month minimum. So your minimum commitment is met 3 months after that first monthly charge, not 3 months after setup wraps up.
Setup typically takes 2 to 4 weeks. Your first monthly payment is charged on a fixed schedule, exactly 30 days after registration, regardless of where setup stands. Delays are usually caused by outstanding items on your end, like assets, access, or scheduling the kickoff call, so staying responsive keeps things on track.
Yes, after your 3-month minimum commitment has been met (which includes your first monthly payment). At that point, you can cancel your monthly subscription with 30 days' written notice. Cancellation stops future billing but doesn't refund amounts already charged.
Yes, before kickoff or intake begins, minus payment processing fees. Kickoff and/or intake should occur within 14 days of purchase. Once kickoff or intake begins, implementation work has started and the setup fee becomes non-refundable. Monthly subscription payments are non-refundable at any point.
Yes. You can pay the $1,500 setup fee in full, or split it into 2 payments of $850. Either way, your $297/month subscription still follows the same schedule: nothing charged until 30 days after registration.
Once setup is complete, you get 30 days of stabilization support: bug fixes, workflow corrections, and guidance on the systems we configured. After stabilization, your ongoing $297/month subscription keeps your ACC platform, systems, and access running, with support available for questions as they come up.
No. This is not a free trial. It's a paid setup engagement with a delayed first subscription payment. You pay the setup fee at checkout, and your $297/month subscription payment begins exactly 30 days after you register.
