PATH TO PUBLISHING
6-MONTH LITERARY MENTORSHIP WITH OUR CEO AND THE AMAZING LITERARY PROFESSIONALS AND INDUSTRY EXPERTS HERE AT PATH TO PUBLISHING!!!
For a consecutive six months, the Path To Publishing team will become your team, committed and dedicated to helping you achieve writing and publishing success! With combined experience of almost 75 years, the Path To Publishing Verified Literary Consultants and Certified Instructors and Publishing Coaches have taught thousands of authors how to successfully write, publish, distribute, market, promote, and sell books.
What makes our program stand out from similar author mentorships, cohorts, and accelerator programs is that our systems, strategies, information, resources, and techniques can be used by both fiction and non-fiction authors, regardless of genre. You'll find that most other programs are geared toward non-fiction authors, but our program is the exception. Fiction authors are welcome!
At Path To Publishing, our team, who are 90% award-winning and national best-selling authors themselves, know how to help you make an impact with your book and turn it into a movement even if it's fiction. We practice what we teach and did it with our very own book, The Price We Pay by Nikki T. Anthony, published on our traditional publishing imprint, PTP Press. We created a course, companion workbook, a study guide, a training program, and entire movement around this single title, that has been nominated for five awards and has won three!
And when it comes to teaching you how to use your book as the foundation of your literary and publishing business, we have the business experience that most literary gurus, experts, and professionals don't. We are business subject matter experts, through our sister branch of business, Path To Connections, partnering with national organizations such as SCORE and our local SBDC (powered by the SBA) to help business owners across the map grow and scale their business. Our very own CEO, Joylynn M. Ross, is a SCORE Media Spokesperson. We marry our business savviness and expertise with our literary savviness and expertise to serve you at a level some other literary industry professionals simply can't.
Your 6-Month Literary Mentorship includes feedback and professional advice on your literary project as well as:
-Peer critiques on your literary project from your fellow Pathfinders in your 6-month cohort
-Systems, techniques, and proven strategies on how to position your book for both literary and financial literary success
-How to make money from your book before it's written or published
-How to make new money from an old book
-How to do a book review campaign and maximize and monetize your reviews
-How to create multiple streams of cohesive literary income
-How to turn your book into a business (something our team has been teaching for years at our annual "Act Like an Author, Think Like a Business" conference and companion book and curriculum)
-Helping you determine your literary goals and map out a plan to achieve them
This Literary Mentorship program is for you even if you don't yet have a published book. Don't wait for your book to get ready, get ready for your book!
Even if you have dozens of published books, this program will teach you how to increase your book sales and accelerate your career as an author.
Not many company CEOs will make time or take time to work inside the company, as most business coaches and gurus are shouting from the mountain tops to "work on your business, not in it". Well, Joylynn didn't build a six-figure business (on its way to seven) doing what everybody else does. As a matter of fact, Joylynn is known for doing exactly what everybody else doesn't do. That's what makes both her and the Path To Publishing team stand out.

And that is why Joylynn made the time, found the time, and used the time she has to design, develop, and commit to a 6-month literary mentorship program where she will work directly with Path To Publishing clients, aka Pathfinders.

"I am doing something I have NEVER done," Joylynn stated right before the inaugural Literary Mentorship program began. "I've been asked to do it on several occasions but have always declined. ​I'm offering a group literary mentorship program with me personally—the CEO and Founder of Path To Publishing—that will run from July to December of each year."
This will be you working with Joylynn M. Ross, the Master Literary Educator and Storytelling Expert. The person who—in the last 25 years—has helped sell over twenty-five million dollars in books (multiple formats), rights, and licensing as an acquisitions editor pitching/selling imprint titles to major retailers and bookstores such as Walmart, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, etc., as a literary agent landing clients book deals with Simon & Schuster, Random House, Urban Books, etc., and as a traditional/self-published author.
​
But what's better than working with Joylynn? Working with the phenomenal team at Path To Publishing who are experts in various areas of the writing, literary, publishing, and business arena.
​
The final six months of each year can be life-changing for you with the transformation you can make as an author, writer, creative, business owner, executive, leader, change-agent, and messenger. Or just simply understanding and leveraging the power of your story; the power of telling your story. Even if you haven't started penning your story, are having a hard time getting it out, or don't even know what your story is, this literary mentorship program will be of great value and service in helping you to do so.
Don't wait for the New Year to position yourself and your business for success. Because storytelling is a huge part of business success. As a matter of fact - as taught in our B.O.S.S. Business of Strategic Storytelling workshop - your story should be your first product and marketing asset as a business owner/entrepreneur.

What Else to Expect in the 6-Month Literary Mentorship Program
Will there be some one-on-one drive-by calls or emails from Joylynn to you, as well as opportunities to breakout from the online group sessions and receive one-on-one guidance and counsel with Joylynn? Yes.
Will other Path To Publishing team members, aka Literary Companions, show up - or even reach out to you one-on-one - to share valuable tips, information, insights, and resources? Yes.
But for the most part, we are going to move and operate and travel toward our personal measure of literary and financial literary success as a tribe...a community. A literary force to be reckoned with.

Why are we doing this - and why now, after over 25 years of being in business?
​
"This is 100% spirit led," says Joylynn. "I'm doing this not only out of obedience, but with a willing spirit. I want to do this. My heart desires to do this. I'm on a mission to help writers, authors, and creatives win. That is my assignment that I love doing each and every day of the week. And thank you, Pathfinder Toya Raylonn Vickers, for reminding me of this back in early 2023. For reminding me to get back to the core of why I got into and started my business in the first place. I foresee some amazing literary breakthroughs taking place during this program, and I'm excited to get started on this journey with you."
