The regular price of BookCamp is $49/month, but if you choose a $97 quarterly subscription you save 34% and get 3 months of BookCamp for the cost of 2.  That's $50 back in your pocket and locks in your savings for future renewals. 

There are no hidden fees or extra charges for special “VIP” sections. Your subscription gives you 100 percent access to all the features of BookCamp, including all previous trainings, expert interviews, and coaching sessions.

Plus, you get to keep the three bonuses forever, regardless of how long you stay in BookCamp!

Please note: there is no minimum time commitment when you join BookCamp.

Your subscription will automatically renew based on the plan you choose unless you tell us otherwise.  But don't worry we remind you.

You can cancel your subscription anytime.

We hope you'll want to stay with us until you get your book (or books!) into the world, but it's up to you.

Sometimes when you have book ideas, it's helpful to have some coaching around which idea is the best or how to strengthen a particular idea. Sometimes it's also helpful to be in a group of other writers with whom you can bounce ideas and trade encouragement. If you already have the coaching you need and a writing community or you don't need them at this time, no problem! But if you need either or both of these, we hope you'll give BookCamp a try. We'd love to support you!

BookCamp uses a success trail map as a visual reference for where you are and where you should go next. Here's the map: 

At the beginning of your experience inside BookCamp, we ask you to identify where you are on the map, where you need to go next, and what part of the members' area will help you get there. It's a really effective tool!

Chad also hosts a live Fireside Chat at the beginning of each month. He presents a S'MORE (Something to Know, Maxim to Live By, Opportunity, Resource, and Encouragement), and then opens the floor for a LIVE Q&A.

You can also ask questions anytime in the BookCamp Facebook group. He regularly visits the Facebook group and responds individually to questions.

Chad also hosts at least one other live event per month. Examples include virtual writing retreats, expert interviews, “ask me anything” sessions, and multi-session master classes.

Finally, you can comment with questions on any of the trainings in the Members Area. Those comments go directly to Chad's email inbox, and he responds promptly to all of them.

It sure is! Each month we host a new Fireside Chat call and upload the replay to the Members Area.
We also record at least one new training or expert interview each month.

We understand that circumstances change and life happens. Use our convenient subscription update page or email us. We’re easy to work with. We’ll cancel you right away and still be your friend! Promise! 

Chad's primary expertise is with nonfiction, but several writers of fiction are longtime members of BookCamp and receive a lot of value from it. Whether you're writing fiction or nonfiction, some parts of the writing-to-publication process are the same. For example, increasingly novelists need to have a platform to be successful. BookCamp can help any writer grow a significant platform.

No worries! If you know how to click on a video and watch it, you know everything you need to get started in BookCamp.

It's difficult to think of a successful modern-day author who does not have a website and at least one social media channel they engage (Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, for example). You may be able to think of one, but suffice to say, such authors are very (and increasingly) rare.

With that as background, if you're allergic to all technology, BookCamp's effectiveness will be limited for you. The good news is creating a website and using at least one social media channel has never been easier or more accessible than it is today. If you have a computer, access to WIFI, and the willingness to roll up your sleeves and learn, you can figure this out, we promise, and we'll help you!

Or if you're willing to invest a modest amount of money, we can point you to some tech pros who will help you get set up quickly and painlessly.

As with all significant achievements, getting a book into the world requires sustained focus and hard work. The time to publication varies depending on how much you have in place when you begin as well as your commitment to the process. If you want to self-publish and you already have a website and a compelling book concept, it can take as little as three to six months. If you want to pursue a traditional publisher and you're just getting started, plan on at least 12 to 18 months.

We don't provide direct introductions to agents and publishers for liability and other reasons. What we will do is help you develop a short list of agents and publishers who would be a great fit for your book.

Making contact with relevant agents and publishers is not the hard part. The hard part is developing a great concept, a solid platform, and enough writing skill to wow those to whom you pitch your book. And that is what BookCamp is all about!

Yes! Whether you self-publish or pursue a traditional publisher, you need a strong concept, a platform, and a marketing plan so that however your book is published, it finds an audience and sells enough copies to make the biggest impact possible. BookCamp helps you with all of those things. You also need to be a great writer so that people have a good experience with your book and tell their friends about it. BookCamp will help you become the best writer you can be.

Yes! In fact, we hosted a live event in Chicago, called Midwest Muse, not too long ago, and are looking forward to more live in-person events! Also, as Chad travels around, he has a habit of hosting meetups for BookCampers. So far he’s hosted these in the Denver area and in West Michigan (where he lives). More to come! Plus we’d really like to host a camp-style event in the future. Think writing during the day and readings by firelight (with a s’more or two) in the evening!  !

I can't guarantee success because I don't know how you define success, but even if I did, so much of success depends on the writer. Are you willing to work hard? Are you willing to take the guidance I'm offering? BookCamp is not a silver bullet; you still have to do the work. But it does provide expert guidance and a strong supportive community. If you're willing to work on your book within the BookCamp community, your book and your sales will be so much better than they would be otherwise. That's a guarantee!

We want to offer you a 100% risk-free guarantee.

When you join, you’ve got 30 days to decide if BookCamp is right for you. If within those 30 days you give BookCamp a go and still feel like it’s not right for you, we will refund 100% of your payment.

Just send an email to [email protected] to let me and my team know. 

That’s just the right thing to do.

We’d love to hear from you! Hit us up at [email protected].
