Your business book isn’t just a book.
It’s a list-building machine.
A focused 90-minute workshop for solopreneurs who are ready to become the published authority in their niche — and finally have dream clients come to them.
No credit card needed. Just your ambition.
You’re curious about how an authority book could help you.
You just don’t know where to start.
You’ve built something real — a business, an expertise, a point of view worth sharing. Now it’s time to put it between two covers and let it do the heavy lifting.
You’ve been meaning to write your book for months, maybe years, but the sheer number of steps involved stops you before you begin.
You understand the power of email lists — you’re here because of Liz! — but you’re running out of reasons for people to subscribe (and stay).
You want clients to find you and arrive pre-sold, instead of chasing down every lead through DMs and discovery calls that go nowhere.
You’ve heard self-publishing is complicated, expensive, or full of people who want to take your money. You need someone you can actually trust.
90 minutes. Four shifts
that change everything.
This isn’t a broad overview or an inspirational pep talk. You’ll leave with a clear, strategic understanding of exactly what your book can do for your business — and what to do first.
-

The 3 launch mistakes that keep first-time authors invisible

Your realistic roadmap from idea to published author
Self-publishing doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Walk away with a grounded, strategic overview of the path — and the confidence to take the first step.
Zero experience to #1 bestseller
in 10 days.
“In early November 2025, I decided to write and publish a book in less than two months — with zero experience in self-publishing. Donna stepped in, and within minutes it was clear she completely understood this world. People now tell me my launch was a masterclass. That is entirely because of Donna Barker’s mastery coaching.
Together, we built an ARC campaign that generated over 50 reviews across Amazon and Goodreads in one week. With just 10 days of pre-launch preparation, my book hit #1 for seven consecutive days in three Amazon categories. Within days of launching, I was booking podcast interviews, new jobs, and speaking engagements. Because of Donna, I can now call myself a bestselling author.”
Hi, I’m Donna Barker.
I help women go from “I have a book idea” to “I’m a published author attracting dream clients” — without the overwhelm, the scams, or the guesswork.
Before becoming an indie author and self-publishing strategist, I spent over 25 years as a ghostwriter for progressive organizations across Canada. I know what it takes to translate deep expertise into writing people actually read and act on. Now I bring that same skill to every author I support.
My specialty is first-time authors — women who are brilliant at what they do but brand new to publishing. I’ve guided over 100 of them from overwhelmed and uncertain to launched and credible, with a book they’re genuinely proud of.
I believe your book should work for your business, not just sit on a shelf. This workshop is where we figure out exactly how to make that happen.
- Helped 100+ women launch non-fiction and fiction titles
- 25+ years professional writing and ghostwriting
- USA Today bestselling romance author as Danika Bloom
- Clients have reached #1 bestseller status on Amazon (but I cannot promise your book will do the same)
- Founder of AuthorEverAfter.com, a community for indie romance authors
- Based in Vancouver, BC — working with authors across North America who identify as women

Good questions deserve
real answers.
Only you can answer that — but consider this: a book is a 24/7 authority-builder that works in your sleep. It shortens your sales cycle, warms cold leads, and gives people a reason to find you and trust you before they ever get on a call. If you want to stop being the world’s best-kept secret, a book is one of the fastest ways to change that.
Done well, self-published books are indistinguishable from traditionally published ones — and they come with more control, faster timelines, and significantly higher royalties. The key word is “done well.” This workshop will show you what that actually looks like for non-fiction business books.
Absolutely — and you’re actually in the best position. A book is one of the most effective ways to start and grow an email list from scratch. We’ll cover exactly how the two work together, so you’re building both assets simultaneously instead of waiting until you have a “big enough” list to launch.
You’re right to be cautious — the self-publishing world has its share of predatory services. One of the things I’m most known for is teaching authors how to protect themselves. We’ll touch on red flags in the workshop, and I’ll share resources to help you vet anyone you consider working with.
Yes — a replay will be available to everyone who registers. That said, the live experience includes a Q&A session where you can ask your specific questions. If you can make it live, I’d encourage you to.
I’ll share details about my paid launch coaching services for those who want more support — but there’s no pressure and no hard sell. Many attendees take the workshop, use the free checklist, and DIY their entire launch successfully. My job in this workshop is to give you real, actionable clarity regardless of what you decide to do next.
Your book is already overdue.
Let’s fix that.
The solopreneurs who land dream clients, grow their lists, and build lasting authority all have something in common: they stopped waiting until everything was perfect and started. This workshop is your starting line.
