Author's Den ™

Imagine finally meeting your writing goals by getting that book written, or even better - published.

Imagine having everything you need to accomplish those heartfelt goals all in one neat, little, transportable package that follows you everywhere and completely adjusts to your needs and your busy life style.

Imagine not having to be responsible to anyone other than yourself and your book to get your literary needs met - no class, no teacher, and no tuition-hungry college or university.

Imagine writing dreams being met even faster and so much easier than you would have ever thought possible. .

Imagine being able to acquire this opportunity for 2% of the price of an average college education.

In designing The Author’s Den, I wanted to emulate my individual working relationships with students over the last twenty-plus years, which has led so many to the living of their literary dreams, and at a quarter of the fee it would cost an aspiring writer to personally move through this process with me.

And I am proud to say that The Author’s Den does just that.

It does so by first asking you a series of simple, yet defined questions, each time it is that you use it to begin a new project.

This is where the real uniqueness of The Author’s Den kicks in.
The Mentorship Program

For through the answering of these simple, yet direct questions, The Author’s Den garners all of the information it needs to design the perfect timetable and strategy for you to successfully complete whatever it is that you want to write.

But the uniqueness of the program doesn’t stop there. NO. The Author’s Den designs a program specifically to meet your needs and it then steps up to the plate, assuming the role of your own personal writing coach/mentor.  It then becomes responsible for keeping you on track for the successful completion of your goals. You also become accountable to your Author’s Den for relaying your results. For if you don’t, it will relentlessly remind you of what you need to complete and when (combined value of the above two capabilities - $8100). 

	"Those who fail to plan, plan to fail." - Henry Ford

In its role as your writing coach/mentor, The Author’s Den will lead you to everything you need to succeed.

It will lead you to access the information and understandings you need to succeed through my two books, You Were Born to Write and You Were Born to Be Published (value - $25).

You Were Born to Write: Complete Your Book in 30 Days or Less by Mastering the Inner Game of Writing

Are ideas continually streaming through your mind that you just have to capture on paper? Do they sometimes visit you in the middle of the night, during a long drive in your car, when you’re most relaxed, or even at the most inconvenient of times? If any of the above is true, you were born to write, and it is for persons such as you that You Were Born to Write was written. This life-changing book shows you how to tap in, at will, to that infinite source of inspiration and expression, and to release easily, fluently, and enjoyably whatever it is within you that seeks to be brought to life on paper.   “My husband couldn’t believe that within one week of finishing the Intensive Writer’s Retreat with Tom Bird that I had finished my first book,” says Debbie Kowalsky of Hollywood, Florida.   You Were Born to Write, which is actually two books in one, shows you how to accomplish results such as these for yourself. In the first portion of the book, you will learn how your life and educational experiences have actually kept you from the natural act of expressing yourself meaningfully, passionately and with a purpose through your writing. Also, this portion of You Were Born to Write outlines seventeen life-changing Writing Principles, to show you how to remove these inappropriate influences and then how to return to that most natural of all states.Then in the second and last portion of You Were Born to Write, you are shown how to utilize what you have learned, so you can write anything you want in record time and with the degree of depth, passion, and purpose that, before the reading of this book, you could have only dreamt of. Your achievements will include the writing of a book within thirty days or less.

You Were Born To Be Published: Eleven Laws for Getting Your Writing into Print NOW!

Do you have a story or a message that just keeps dogging you and just won’t let you go? Every time that your gaze falls upon a bestseller list, do you wonder why your name is not on it? Are friends, family members, and/or colleagues continually commenting on how much they love to read your letters? Would publication of your work land you the professional praise or tenure that you seek? If you answered “Yes” to any of the above, then you were born to be published and it is for persons such as you that You Were Born to be Published was written. Some of the central themes covered in this book include: Seeing your book in print in as little as twenty days Learning the secrets behind getting published that other authors don’t want you to know Getting paid for your book before it is even written Receiving offers to get your book published or represented by a top literary agent in as little as a few hours Discovering everything you need to know about protecting your work from being stolen.

Ninety-five percent of your success as an author, that’s right, 95%, is directly tied to your ability to get into and then remain in your Author Within state during your personal transition to rediscovering the writer you already are,; the writing of your book or whatever it is that you want to compose, and the essential revision of your writing.

For over thirty years, the use of subliminal recordings has helped persons such as you step over the blockages from the past which have repeatedly stopped them from accomplishing their tasks time and time again.

What are subliminal recordings?

Simply put, subliminal recordings combine two very important factors to finally offer you the success you deserve.

First, through some mind-calming music, they relax your left brain, where all of your fears, insecurities, and potentially self- sabotaging behavior patterns are housed.

At the same time, they offer part of you - in this case, your Author Within side (the right brain in most of us) - the catalysts, stimuli, confidence, and direction it needs to fully, completely, and confidently come out and express itself.

Success through the use of subliminal recordings through the years has been astounding, so much so that I have engineered three of my own, specifically designed to move you through the three necessary steps associated with your success as an author.

Even more than writing (as you probably already know), writing well is essential to your success as an author.

What does writing well equate to?

It is essential that you write as fast as possible on your first draft.  Whatever it is that you want to compose, it equates to writing fast.

Why?

Because the faster you write, the less time you have to think - and thinking is the antithesis of the flow, the stream of creative consciousness, that is absolutely essential to all successful writing.

Don’t worry, The Author’s Den takes care of that potential problem for you as well by first determining, then upping and monitoring your writing speed.

How does it do this?

Through the writing speed test (value $279) that you will be asked to take first upon entering into the program, and then again on a regular basis in your use of the program.

Simply put, the speed of your writing will not only determine the essential, expressive quality of your writing, but it will directly determine in almost every case whether you successfully complete your project, as well.

Concerned about getting published?

No worries, The Author’s Den takes care of that, as well.

Besides the copy of my book, You Were Born to be Published, which covers everything you need to know about getting your work into print, from choosing what form of publishing is best for you, to preparing the query letter and submission package, to submitting your manuscript, the following have been included as well.

• Tom Bird’s Selective Database and Guide to Literary Agents (value of a one-year subscription - $389). Quite frankly, as a new author, you have to be represented by a literary agent to gain the attention of and access to any worthy conventional publisher such as Random House, Doubleday, or Harper Collins. But even more important than acquiring the services of a reputable agent (and there are thousands out there not worthy of your consideration) is finding the right literary agent for YOU, which is exactly what Tom Bird’s Selective Database and Guide to Literary Agents does. I have been at the book publishing game for over a quarter of a century, and I know all of the ins and outs of the industry. I know what makes a good or great literary agent, and I know what behavior traits are attributed to any one of the thousands of so-called agents that troll the ranks of would-be authors, looking to hook their next victim. This extraordinary database not only offers you the largest listing of pre-screened, qualified literary agents in the world, but, through an unique screening process I employ, keeps you away from being taken advantage of by one of the less-than-worthies, an embarrassing, hurtful situation that could not only cost you tens of thousands of dollars, but, even worse, could emotionally shut down access to your Author Within for good.

Introduction to The Author's Den Video

• Despite the sensational features in my selective database and guide to literary agents described above, possibly the finest features revolve about its ease of use. Imagine, being able to contact the tried, trusted, and successful 2200 literary agents in the world literally within minutes and with a simple click of your mouse. This program is so easy to use, even a short-tempered Hemingway could navigate his way through it in seconds.
  
  

  All you need to do is to copy and paste your query letter (What is a query letter? - see below) into the space provided and then either choose or let Tom Bird’s Selective Guide to Literary Agents choose for you the literary agents who you would like to contact. Then a few clicks – walla -  your query letter falls into their inboxes and their replies to your submission start pouring in shortly afterwards.

  	For the last few months you have heard me tout the praises of Rebecca Reeves of Sedona and her mystery novel, The Doggi Lama. At last count she had received interest on her query letter from 83 agents, which is an unprecedented number for a query letter submitted by a first-time author of a novel. But between you and me, even though Rebecca's query is really great, I think she is even better. In fact, I feel the strongest components responsible for her success at this point are all linked to her desire, undying effort and heart, and following the divine timing that calls us all. She's simply been following her heart, no matter where it leads and what fears it confronts, giving her writing all of her heart and letting that essential heart inside of all of us lead her to where she is meant to be. I will keep you posted on the ever-evolving story of Rebecca Reeves, whose book is presently in the hands of award-winning editor, Paul McCarthy.

  
  
  

  All in a series of clicks, spread out over no more than a few minutes, Tom Bird’s Selective Database and Guide to Literary Agents takes you from a doubting writer to a budding author with some of the top representatives in publishing clamoring to potentially represent your book.
