What we've learned after helping nearly 250 authors get published:

The authors who succeed have three things in common.
- They have clarity on WHY their book matters.
- They have a structure that keeps them moving forward even when motivation dips.
- They have access to guidance when they get stuck.

All three are available inside the Institute for Author Growth and Impact.

Most authors spend months writing a book and then discover the problem: the idea wasn't strong enough, the reader wasn't specific enough, or the market already has ten books saying the same thing.

AI can help you find these problems before you write, not after.

In this live, I'm sharing the prompt that pressure-tests your entire book concept in one conversation. Consider this the quality check before the work begins.

This is Video 8 of 11 in my Write Your Purpose Live series, leading up to my live workshop on June 17. Write Your Purpose: Craft Your Nonfiction Book Blueprint With AI.

Reading about book marketing is one thing. Actually doing it is another.

The Promote Your Purpose Workbook is designed to close that gap. It takes the full ASPEN Method framework from Jenn T. Grace's book and turns it into a structured, guided workbook where you build your actual marketing strategy for your actual book.

Paired with the Promote Your Purpose Action Deck -- 48 focused action prompts to keep you moving one step at a time -- it is the most practical book marketing system we have put into an author's hands.

Both are available now.

June is Audiobook Month and the numbers are hard to ignore.

According to the Association of American Publishers, adult audiobook sales were up 17.3% in the first quarter of this year. If you have a published book that does not yet have an audio version, this is your sign.

We work with authors to bring their books to life in audio, whether you published with us or somewhere else entirely. We have a trusted audiobook partner and a few different ways we can help depending on where you are in the process. No two situations are exactly the same, and we are happy to talk through what makes sense for yours.

If you are curious about what it would take to get your book into audio, drop a comment below and we will be in touch.

The first sentence of every chapter is the hardest sentence you'll write. It has to earn the reader's attention all over again, every single time.

Most authors agonize over chapter openings for hours. There is a better way.

In this live, I'm showing you how to use AI to generate opening approaches for any chapter, so you stop staring at the blank page and start making decisions about which direction feels most true to your voice.

A question Jenn T. Grace gets more than almost any other:

"Should I self-publish or go with a traditional publisher?"

The honest answer: it depends on your goals.

Self-publishing gives you speed, control, and higher royalties. Traditional publishing gives you distribution, prestige, and validation. Hybrid gives you somewhere in between.

None of them is universally better.

But the decision gets much easier when you know your goals, your timeline, and your audience.

That's what the School of Publishing & Production inside the Institute for Author Growth and Impact teaches, how to make the right call for YOUR book and YOUR mission.

https://authorgrowthandimpact.org/

Founding members get $147/month (locked in through July 1) and a 30-minute private session with Jenn to talk through their specific situation.

BOOK RELEASE by Kelli Houston from Publish Your Purpose

Kelli Houston’s life began under a cloud of uncertainty, with her survival in question from the start. Her family viewed her as a miracle, strengthened by her grandmother’s fervent prayers. This extraordinary status marked the start of a demanding path toward understanding herself.
From a young age, Kelli wrestled with her place within her family and among her peers. When she discovered a group where she felt accepted, she also recognized a profound difference within herself, a secret she shared with only a trusted few.
This memoir looks back at Kelli’s childhood in the 1980s, when she was forced to conceal her identity as a le***an. Hiding this part of herself shaped her friendships, creating some of her closest bonds while also creating distance between her and her family.
Kelli’s narrative is infused with humor and candid honesty, offering a window into her personal world. Her story includes moments as a stand‑up comedian and as an advocate for equity and justice. Through emotional struggles and difficult decisions in the pursuit of happiness, love, and redemption, Kelli discovered the importance of healing and self‑worth.
The Unintentional Comedian is an inspiration for anyone who has felt out of place. With warmth and candor, she invites readers to celebrate authenticity and embrace the ongoing quest toward becoming their truest selves.

Get your copy of The Unintentional Comedian: Lessons From A Life Unexpected at your favorite place to buy books.

Kelli Houston is an award‑winning healthcare executive, social justice advocate, and comedian with nearly two decades of experience in health and human services. She has led major Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Health Equity initiatives across organizations including Seattle Children’s Hospital and Kaiser Permanente. She is currently an Equity Consultant for the Community Health Plan of Washington. Born in Reno, Nevada, she now lives in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

A conversation with Daniel Horgan on personal branding, inclusive leadership, and the power of the "giver" mindset

What if your book is not the destination, but the vehicle that carries your mission into the world?

In this episode, Jenn is joined by Daniel Horgan, Founder of CoLabL, for a deep dive into how purpose-driven experts can use books to fuel a broader business ecosystem. Daniel has spent over a decade reimagining mentorship and inclusive leadership for early career talent, and he views his books as tactical tools rather than just passive products.

Jenn and Daniel explore the reality of "the humble expert" and the common struggle of balancing personal visibility with a mission-centered focus. Daniel shares his journey of writing two books and preparing for a third, revealing how he integrates his work into corporate workshops, associations like SHRM, and national mentorship programs.

Together they discuss:
- Authenticity over performance: Why speaking from a place of lived experience resonates more deeply with audiences than a polished performance.
- An ecosystem of impact: The importance of being strategic so your various books and offerings feel integrated rather than scattered.
- The giver mindset: How a focus on service and community alignment can naturally drive business growth without the need for predatory sales tactics.
- Leading from your values: Navigating organizational accountability and keeping the people you serve at the center of every decision.

This conversation is an invitation to rethink how you position your expertise. Whether you are a newer author or a seasoned leader, you will walk away with clarity on how to turn your big idea into a powerful tool for change.

About Daniel
At 18, Daniel pioneered the first youth-led America’s Promise effort in Pittsburgh, PA under Retired General Colin Powell, landing him a seat on the national board of directors and recognition from President George W. Bush. Daniel has 25+ years of experience working in the business and nonprofit sectors, fueled by his commitment to increasing others’ access to relationships and growth opportunities.

At CoLabL, Daniel is working at the intersection of talent development and community building, cultivating relationship-centered spaces. His team at CoLabL is focused on partnering with early career talent and people managers to expand their networks, skills, and experiences to achieve their definition of success.

Named one of Pittsburgh’s 40 Under 40 Honorees, Daniel has facilitated hundreds of training experiences, keynoted conferences, published articles on Forbes.com, and authored Tell Me I Can’t…and I Will. His second book, We Got This: A Pocket Guide to Thriving in Our Careers and Life, was released in January 2025.
