APS Author Mastery ELITE

APS Author Mastery ELITE

A 6-month anthology experience for authors ready to fully step into their voice, contribute a powerful chapter, and become a published APS author — with education, support, and celebration along the way.

6-Month Anthology Experience

Collaborative Publishing + Author Education

Group-based program · Each participant contributes one chapter · Includes publishing & recognition

APS Author Mastery ELITE is for aspiring and emerging authors who are ready to stop waiting and finally become published. In this collaborative anthology experience, each participant writes and refines one chapter, receives structured author education, and is guided through the publishing process — from concept to celebration.

Over six months, you’ll be supported in:

  • Clarifying your chapter focus and connecting it to the overall theme.
  • Developing your content with guidance, feedback, and accountability.
  • Learning core author skills around branding, marketing, and platform-building.
  • Preparing for your role as a co-author — not just for this book, but for future opportunities.

The final anthology is published under APS Publishing, and the author group is honored at the Awards Gala, celebrating your accomplishment as a published author.

Is APS Author Mastery ELITE Right for You?

ELITE is ideal if you:

  • Have a message, story, or lesson you know you’re called to share.
  • Want to become a published author, but prefer a guided, collaborative experience rather than doing it all alone.
  • Are willing to commit to the writing, deadlines, and teamwork required to complete a strong chapter.
  • Desire education around being an author — not just getting your name on a cover.

Many authors choose to:

  • Start with APS Author Mastery PLUS to complete a chapter draft, then
  • Move into APS Author Mastery ELITE to publish that chapter as part of an anthology and receive deeper author education and recognition.

If you are further along and want to publish a full, individual book instead of an anthology chapter, Published & Powerful may be a better fit. We’re happy to help you decide.
