The Perfect Year:
Plan Your Perfect Publishing Year
Three days of live, strategic planning that maps out your entire publishing year — from release schedule to marketing calendar to income targets. Walk away with a concrete, actionable roadmap tailored to your catalogue, your goals, and your real life.
Winging it isn't a publishing strategy.
January starts with ambition. By March, the plan is already off the rails. Sound familiar? Most authors don't fail because they lack talent — they fail because they lack a system. A publishing business without a plan is just an expensive hobby. The authors who consistently grow their income year over year don't just write — they plan releases strategically, time promotions for maximum impact, and know exactly where their revenue is coming from 12 months out. This three-day workshop gives you that level of clarity.
What you'll cover in this workshop
This is a live, interactive session — not a pre-recorded course you'll bookmark and never finish. Coral teaches in real time, demos the tools live, and answers your questions as they come.
Where are you now? Catalogue size, income sources, marketing channels — an honest assessment before you plan.
How many books, what timing, which formats — mapping a release schedule that's ambitious but achievable.
Align your marketing activities — ads, newsletters, promos, social — with your release calendar for compounding impact.
Set revenue targets for each title and income stream, then build a tracking system that keeps you accountable all year.
What you'll walk away with
- A complete 12-month publishing plan — releases, promos, and milestones mapped out
- Income projection worksheets that set realistic, data-driven targets
- Release timing strategy — when to publish for maximum genre impact
- Marketing calendar integration so promos align with your release schedule
- Three full days of live strategic planning with Coral and the group
This workshop is for you if:
- You're an author who wants practical, hands-on guidance — not just theory
- You learn best in live sessions where you can ask questions and get real-time feedback
- You're ready to stop collecting bookmarked courses and start doing the work
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a three-day event?
Yes — three days of live sessions. This is an intensive strategic planning workshop, not a quick overview.
Do I need published books?
At least one published book or a concrete plan to publish is ideal. The workshop is most powerful when you can plan around real titles.
Can I plan for both pen names?
Absolutely. Coral helps you map separate strategies for each pen name within your master plan.
Are there recordings?
No. This is a live, attend-once experience. The value is in showing up, doing the work in real time, and getting live feedback from Coral and the group. There are no recordings or replays.
