AuthorMBA was
founded in 2006 to help writers master
the business side
of their careers. Today's publishing industry is more competitive
than ever.
Writers need to embrace their role as CEO of their own
writing business and become savvy business people to keep their careers
growing. Whether you're just starting out or looking to make the
leap to the NY Times, we have the resources you need to make your dreams
a reality.
We tailor our business training to the unique demands of your professional writing career. Adhering to
our core principle of providing positive, professional, practical
information to writers, we offer innovative online workshops, exclusive
business challenges, helpful free resources, and a
unique blog to keep you in the know.

"Kay is both dynamic and approachable. She has the ability to relax an
audience enough to express their deepest hopes for their writing
careers. After that, she leads them through the practical steps they
must take in order to achieve their dreams."
~ Author Mary Lennox
