Stories of Success Celebration

All calls will be hosted at 11am eastern. If you can’t make it live, you’ll get access to the replays for a full week after the Open House ends.

Most writers think they need to do this alone or wait until they have it all figured out.

However, in this free open house we will show you the power of writing with a community that truly understands your calling.

Here's What You'll Experience

Did you know that writing with community can be the difference between books that stay stuck in your head versus actually getting them finished and published so God can use them to impact lives?

Our free open house will help you experience what it’s like inside Christian Book Academy – the community, the coaching, the prayer support, and the accountability that helps Kingdom writers finish their books and leave the legacy they’re called to create.

And there is absolutely no pressure to join the academy once the Open House ends. 

During this week-long open house, you will...

GET UNSTUCK


Receive clarity on your specific writing challenge so you can move forward with confidence

EXPERIENCE COMMUNITY

Connect with Kingdom writers who understand your calling, not just your craft

MAKE PROGRESS


Write during our 2-day Virtual Writing Retreat with accountability and focused time

Here's What Happens When You Write With Community

“I spent years trying to write my full story. When I realized I could start smaller, everything changed. I published and sold 100 copies – readers tell me it’s bringing them healing.”
– Lois Martin
“I had been trying to finish my book for 5 years. Within 3 months of joining Christian Book Academy, I finally published it.”
– Tanecia Mitchell
CJ and Shelley are ‘pastors for writers’ who truly cover God’s writers as their ministry. I completed my book and built lifelong friendships through the Academy.”
– Jendayi Harris
“I overcame ‘writer’s guilt’ and finally started writing consistently. I’m more productive than ever, publishing two books at the same time and now working on my third book.”
– Lauren Darroch
“I wanted to publish a children’s book for years. I joined Christian Book Academy and in just 6 months, I published my first full-color children’s book. Once I learned the process, I published an entire series.”
– Angela Meijer
“I dreamed of publishing my book for over seven years, but fear and perfectionism kept stalling me out. Through Christian Book Academy, I finally broke through those blocks and published the book God put on my heart.”
– Sheila McIntyre
