The 6-Week Mastermind for Authors with a Novel & no Audience to Become an Author People Want to Follow!
Legend Hearth from LegendFiction helps you start your blog, launch your email list, and build a habit of sharing your voice online (and keep writing!)
You’ve done the hard part: your book exists. And now… you don’t know how to do the next part.
The marketing, the branding, the outreach. You see other authors cringe dancing and the clamoring desperately that you ‘buy my book!.’
No one wants the cringe. Or to be pushy, or a double-spray or Eau de Desperation before thumbing the camera. But these amazing authors with dreams and epic stories are holding back from sharing their work with the world, because they don’t know any other way.
As a novelist who’s been writing novels and studying fiction since I was 13, I completely get you. In fact, I spent 25+ years in marketing and branding (and wrote a book), and then started the LegendFiction community, because I didn’t know how to market my own novel.
Today, I help introvert creators like me find their freedom and make their impact, and have fun becoming an author folk want to follow. Because that’s what I want for myself too.
We’re going to follow my S.A.G.A. framework to build your brand in 42 days, a plan that works even when no one knows you and you don’t have any budget. All you need is the enthusiasm you already have. I have a gift for getting people unstuck and back action, and feeling good doing it (see real testimonials here).
That’s why this program is not called the Legendary Author Buster Super Sales Machine 3000.
I call it Legend Hearth, because marketing is a love letter to future friends. We gather them round your hearth of friendship and fellowship.
Plus, we’re going to use the tools that I use myself, and they’re all free.
I’m assuming this about you: you do have grit. You do have opinions and things to say. In fact, if you and I go out for coffee, we’d probably chat for an hour straight, and just be getting started.
That’s who Legend Hearth is for.
You want to feel proud of showing up online again. So let’s turn your interests into content you can share, so that you can own your audience, and stop being at the mercy of algorithms and middlemen.
How the Legend Hearth Masterclass Works
Every Wednesday for 6 weeks, probably around 6pm ET for 60 minutes, we gather online round the Hearth, a half mastermind, half creative lab. Over six weeks, you’ll build your author brand together, test ideas, and integrate feedback. Or you can refresh what you have and build it better.
Apart from our lively group meetups (where everyone swaps wins, asks questions, and shares behind-the-scenes progress) here’s our 6-meeting journey:
1. Introduction: Spark & Strategy
Meet your cohort, review key resources, and set clear creative goals. Identify your core content themes and unlock an endless list of ideas for your first three blog posts.
2. Story: Your Origin Myth
Workshop your unique author story and the novel behind it. Craft a lead magnet your readers may love, launch or refresh your blog, and draft your next three posts.
3. Action: Build & Broadcast
Share what you’re building, such as content, audience, and habits that fit your strengths. Workshop your personal content program and develop three more posts.
4. Growth: Visibility Magic
Explore outreach strategies that feel authentic: guest spots, collabs, or picking a social platform to start testing. Use these tactics to inspire your next three posts.
5. Adventure: Worlds & Next Steps
Explore how you can share pieces of your world with your fans. Experiment with secondary media (podcasts, video, or something wild) and shape three more posts.
6. Review: The Round Table
Bring everything full circle. Get feedback on your website, lead magnet, and full content plan. Celebrate your progress, and leave with nine weeks of future posts mapped out.
Here’s what you’ll get:
Write together 3 short blog posts per week (around 300-500 words) that build your brand, and get feedback from other.
Get a step-by-step content blueprint that connects your fiction to your message, so you attract your ideal readers naturally.
Build your author website step-by-step using free tools, guided by a pro branding and marketing designer with 25+ years of experience.
Learn how to repurpose your writing into short YouTube videos or podcast clips.
Create your foundation for audience ownership: your email list, your home base, your voice.
Find out how tools like ChatGPT can help you boost your creativity, and not replace you
At the end of 6 weeks, you’ll have:
A functional website you’ll be proud of.
A batch of 18+ strong posts you’ll love.
A lead magnet to invite people to subscribe
A clear, simple marketing workflow that doesn’t steal time from your writing.
Real momentum and clarity to keep going
PLUS: You’ll also have ten companions on the same quest, each building their own world, each cheering the others on. Over six weeks, you’ll trade stories, swap encouragement, and offer each other honest feedback. You’ll have a circle of allies who’ve seen you grow, and grown with you!
Your investment
Normally, I charge between $3,200–$5,600 for full consulting and design services, where I handle it for you. LegendHearth is a done-with-you program.
That’s why I’m only charging $650 total for the entire six-week program, and only 10 people can participate. In the future, this price will increase.
Join the waitlist right now, and once we have 10 people, I’ll announce the program launch.

Now the next challenge is to share it without burnout.
Most authors think the answer is louder shouting. More posts. More cringe. It’s not. The answer is having a plan, and friendship to carry you through. Let’s take what you already believe and build a brand that people will want to follow!
