Founder of LegendFiction, and a fulltime marketer and brand strategist with 25+ years experience. Author of 'Start Your SAGA Brand', the relentlessly helpful guide for beginners and founders to build a brand.
Most authors love writing—but hate marketing.
- You don’t want to sound pushy or fake every time you talk about your book.
- You don’t know how to stay visible without feeling self-centered.
- You want to grow an audience, but doing it alone feels awkward and unsustainable.
That’s exactly what the LegendFiction Collaboratory is built to fix.
It’s a creative alliance where LegendFiction members can experiment, collaborate, and grow together. It’s part laboratory, part fellowship, a shared place where we test ideas, cross-promote, and learn from each other in real time.
This collaboratory is your place to:
- Invite other authors to collaborate through podcast swaps, blog exchanges, or interviews.
- Treat the Collaboratory as a shared creative network—reach out, co-create, and make things happen.
- Benefit from the audience of subscribers LegendFiction is building through email and social media.
And get a suite of goodies crafted just for you.
This resource is something that new authors who aren't yet established/published (like me) badly need to stand out well in a competitive author market/space. A lot of us are suspicious about fake authors, publishers, etc. As a marketer and aspiring author, I'd love to make connections and network with others, while also helping share my wisdom and advice with others in the program!
