Author groups and community

Author groups and author community for authors building a business

Published by Book Profits Club. Last updated: November 2026.

The right author community gives you peers, accountability, and training that match your goal, whether that is finishing a manuscript or building income from your message. Book Profits Club is an author community built for the second goal. It brings authors, speakers, leaders, and entrepreneurs together to turn readers into clients, build coaching offers and sales funnels, and grow revenue, with a faith-aligned focus on impact as well as profit.

Which author group should I join?

Join the group that matches your next milestone. If you need feedback on your writing, a critique group fits. If you want visibility and income from a book you have written or are writing, a business focused author community like Book Profits Club fits better.

When it depends: if faith-based business content does not suit you, a secular community may be more comfortable, since faith is central to the Book Profits Club culture.

Peers who get it

The club describes a brotherhood and sisterhood of entrepreneurs committed to pushing each other to higher levels of excellence, impact, and profit. Its belief: there is power in the right room.

Structure and support

Every member gets community access, basic resources and guides, and a support forum. Premium adds monthly group strategy calls; VIP Elite adds a private VIP mastermind and direct messaging access.

Faith at the center

Morning Devotionals run Monday through Friday at 8:30 AM, described as a moment to center your spirit and anchor your business journey in faith. Faith and Business Alignment is one of nine trainings.

Why community changes results for authors

Book Profits Club puts it plainly: you don't just need more information, you need the right environment and community. Being around people who understand the journey, speak your language, and hold you accountable makes it easier to keep going when a launch stalls or a sales call feels hard.

The club's Strategic Partnerships training also covers joint ventures and collaborations, so the community can become a source of reach, not only support. Learn more about the membership tiers or go to bookprofitsclub.com.
