Tell Us About Your Book →I spent years trying to write a full autobiography. But when I started working with Shelley, I realized I didn’t have to tell everything, just the part God was asking me to share. I’ve already sold over 100 copies, and readers are telling me it’s bringing them healing.
– Lois Martin, Inner CircleLois’s book is 61 pages. Short books count too. Shelley’s own Gratitude Journal is 75 pages, and Trusting God When Bad Things Happen is 66. You don’t need to write a long book to make an eternal impact.

What’s the difference between Christian Book Academy and the Inner Circle?
Christian Book Academy is a membership where you go at your own pace with no deadlines. The Inner Circle is a 90-day group coaching program built for writers who do better with a specific goal, a deadline, and extra accountability to finally finish their book.
Do I need writing experience to join Christian Book Academy?
No. We’ve mentored writers at every stage, from a first idea on a napkin to a finished manuscript ready for feedback. The Kingdom Writers Path meets you wherever you are.
I’m already a Christian Book Academy member. Can I get a discount on the Inner Circle?
Yes. Email support@trainingauthors.com and we’ll send you your member discount code before you join.
Does my book need to be long to count?
No. Some of the most impactful books we’ve seen from Kingdom Writers are under 75 pages. What matters is stewarding the message God gave you, not hitting a page count.
What if I don’t know which option is right for me?
Start with Christian Book Academy. Your first 30 days are free, and it’s the lowest-commitment way to get support while you figure out if you want more structure through the Inner Circle or more privacy through 1:1 coaching.
Is there a free way to try Christian Book Academy first?
Yes. Your first 30 days inside Christian Book Academy are free. After that, it’s $49/month, and you can cancel anytime.
Whatever step you take next, take it.
You don’t have to have the whole path figured out today. You just have to take the next one.
