TEACH ME HOW TO PUBLISH MY FIRST BOOKYOU DON'T NEED...
We're making simple books with pages people use every day.
You can stay behind the scenes.
You can publish under a pen name.
You don't have to post videos or build an audience to get started.
I'll teach you how to do this from the beginning.
You'll get templates for your pages and covers.
Your books go up for sale on Amazon.
You don't have to buy books before someone orders them.
Amazon handles that.
My course is $37, and you can open an Amazon publishing account for free.
Nobody needs to know what you're doing.
You don't have to tell your husband, your ex, your boss, or your friends.
You don't have to announce that you're starting something.
And you don't have to put yourself on social media and hope people like what you're making.
You can choose a pen name for your books. You can even use more than one.
You can learn in private, make mistakes in private, and decide what you want to share.
Nobody needs to watch you learn something new.
You make the book. Amazon takes care of the rest.
When someone orders your book, Amazon prints it, packs it, and ships it to the customer.
You never have to touch a copy.
You don't need a printer, packing supplies, or shelves full of books.
Your paperbacks can also be available to Amazon Prime customers with Prime shipping.
And Amazon pays you a share of each sale after its printing cost.
So what are you making?
Think about the notebooks and planners people use every day.
A lined notebook with a pretty cover.
A daily planner with the same pages repeated throughout.
A gratitude journal with little questions to answer.
Or a coloring book filled with pictures people can color.
I'll show you how to choose an idea, make your pages and cover, and get your book ready for Amazon.
Then you can use what you've learned to make another one.
Publish dozens of books each year in a couple hours per month.
What would having your own money mean to you?
Maybe it's...
- Taking your kids on summer vacation without worrying about every dollar.
- Being generous at Christmas because you can afford to be.
- Having money in your own account that nobody gets to question.
- Knowing you have another way to earn if your life changes.
- Making plans because they're what you want.
Those are the things worth working toward.
Making books won't promise you any of them. But learning how to create something you can sell gives you a place to start.
And you can start right where you are.
Still thinking you can't do this?
"I'm not creative."
You don't have to design everything yourself. My course includes ready-made page and cover templates you can change to make your own books.
"I'm not good with computers."
I'll show you where to click and what to do. My course has 52 short lessons and a checklist to help you keep track of each step.
You can learn one thing at a time.
"What if nobody buys my books?"
Some books don't sell. That's why I'll teach you how to check what people are searching for on Amazon before you make anything.
You'll learn how to look at similar books, check whether they're selling, and decide which ideas are worth trying.
There are no guaranteed sales. But you'll know how to do the research instead of guessing.
You don't have to know how to make a book before you start. That's what I'm going to teach you.
You've spent enough of your life depending on other people.
Maybe you stayed home to raise your children, and now you're trying to work out how to support yourself.
Maybe you're still married, but you've started thinking about what would happen if you had to pay every bill on your own.
Or maybe you have a job, and you're sick of spending your days making money for someone else while they decide what your time is worth.
Whatever brought you here, you want money that belongs to you.
You want to buy something without explaining yourself. You dream of birthday parties, summer vacations and Christmas mornings without having to check your bank balance. You want to know you can take care of yourself, even if your life changes.
And you've probably spent more time than you'd like to admit looking for a way to make that happen.
You've watched the videos. You've saved the posts. You've looked at ideas that sounded great until someone started talking about building a website, finding clients, or spending half your life on social media.
That's what I teach inside Alias Author.
You can sell journals and notebooks on Amazon without putting your real name on them.
You don't have to become an influencer. You don't need to talk about your personal life online. And you don't have to announce your plans to your husband, your ex, your boss, or anyone else.
You can learn how to create something of your own and decide for yourself when you want to talk about it.
And you don't have to deal with printing or shipping, either.
Amazon prints each journal or coloring book when someone buys it, ships it to the customer, and pays you a share of the sale.
You don't need boxes of notebooks or planners in your house. You don't have to pack orders or make trips to the post office.
Your job is to learn how to choose a journal or notebook people want, make it, and publish it.
What exactly are you making?
Not novels. Not books full of chapters. Not something you have to spend months writing.
I'm talking about the simple journals, planners, notebooks, and coloring books people buy and use every day.
Lined notebooks. Gratitude journals. Daily planners. Habit trackers. Journals with prompts to answer.
Think about a journal with a pretty cover and the same simple pages repeated throughout. Maybe it's lines for writing, spaces to plan your week, or a question at the top of each page.
That's exactly what you will learn to make.
You don't have to be a writer. You don't have to be an artist. And you don't have to come up with something nobody has ever seen before.
I'll show you how to find out what people are already looking for, choose a journal or planner to make, and use my templates to create the pages and cover.
Then you publish it on Amazon under your pen name.
When someone orders your journal, Amazon prints it and ships it. You get paid 60% of the list price, minus the printing cost.
You can make something people can hold in their hands without ever printing, packing, or shipping a copy yourself.
Hi, I'm Jenn.
I'm separated, I have two teenage girls, and I spent years out of the workforce raising them.
I understand why having your own money matters.
When you've been out of the workforce for awhile, it's easy to start questioning what you can do. You know how to work hard (you've spent years doing exactly that). But when you start looking at ways to earn a comfortable living, it can feel like everything requires experience you don't have.
And the last thing you need is someone talking to you like you're stupid because you don't know what a keyword is or how to use a spreadsheet.
That's why I made Alias Author.
I didn't know anything about publishing when I started. I opened my Amazon account and figured out how to do all of the little steps along the way.
I'll show you where to click, what to type, how to make your journal or notebook, and how to put it on Amazon.
You don't have to print or ship anything. You don't even need to WRITE anything! People buy blank notebooks and journals every day... why not yours?
I'll show you how to do it under a pen name too, because I know that sometimes you want to work on something without having to explain it to everyone around you.
The really crazy part? How brave and bold and independent it feels when you click 'Publish.'
I want that for you.
You can learn this. Even if you've never made a journal or coloring book in your life.
You don't need another idea sitting in your saved posts.
You've already spent time looking for ways to make money from home.
You may have considered selling things online, starting a business, going back to work, or learning something new.
But every time you look into an idea, there's another thing you need to learn.
You need a website. You need followers. You need to find customers. You need to post videos. You need to spend money before you've made anything.
And suddenly, the simple idea you were excited about looks like another full-time job.
With Alias Author, you're learning one process.
You find a journal idea that passes the research checks.
You make the inside pages and the cover using templates.
You upload the finished files to Amazon.
Then you can use what you've learned to make another journal or try making a planner.
You don't have to start a new business from scratch every time you want to create something.
Here's what can keep you stuck if you don't learn how to do this.
You keep searching for ways to earn money without finding one thing to work on.
You talk yourself out of good ideas because you think you're not creative enough.
You decide publishing must be too hard because you don't understand the words people use to explain it.
You spend time making something without checking whether anyone is looking for it.
You make a journal or notebook, but you don't know how to prepare the files or what Amazon needs before it can go on sale.
You worry about making mistakes with your account, your pen name, or your tax details.
And you keep putting your own plans off because everyone else's needs come first.
I'd rather show you exactly what to do.
Alias Author takes you from opening your publishing account to creating your first journal, checking your files, and putting it up for sale. You'll also learn steps you can use to make notebooks and planners.
I've broken the work into 52 itty bitty bite sized lessons with a clear checklist to keep you focused, so you can learn one thing at a time.
Here's what you'll get:
- Journal page templates: Four styles to choose from, in three sizes.

That's what we're going to do.

I WANT THE COURSE AND THE CALENDAR, JENN!Questions you might have before you start
Do I have to use my real name?
You choose a pen name to put on your journal and its Amazon listing.
Amazon still needs your real name for your private account, taxes, and payments, but your pen name is the author name people see.
I'll show you how to set it up and where to use it.
I've never made a journal or planner. Can I really do this?
Yes.
That's exactly who I made the course for.
You don't need to know how publishing works before you start. You'll learn how to choose an idea, make your pages, create a cover, and upload everything.
I've broken it into short lessons with clear steps because I want you to spend your time learning the skill, not trying to work out what I'm talking about.
What if I'm not creative?
You don't have to start with a blank page.
I've included ready-made layouts for your journal pages and covers. You choose the ones you like and follow the lessons to make them your own.
I'll also show you how to find ideas people are searching for, so you have a way to decide what to make.
What if I'm not good with computers?
You can still learn how to do this.
The lessons use plain English and explain where to click and what to enter.
You can print the record sheets and Idea Sheet, so you don't have to manage everything in a spreadsheet.
And you can go through the lessons one at a time.
Do I need to pay for software or anything else?
Opening an Amazon KDP account and publishing a paperback is free.
Amazon takes its printing cost from each sale, so you don't have to buy inventory.
My course templates use Canva Pro, which is a paid plan. Canva also offers a free plan, but the templates are made for Pro.
You can order a printed proof of your journal if you want to check it before it goes on sale. That costs the printing price plus shipping.
I'll explain the costs as we go, so you know what you're paying for.
How does Amazon pay me?
When someone buys your journal, Amazon prints it and ships it.
Amazon keeps its printing cost and pays you a royalty based on the journal's price.
I'll show you how to work out the amount before you publish.
Amazon pays royalties to your bank account each month, generally about 60 days after the end of the month in which the sale was recorded.
What if nobody buys my journal?
Some journals don't sell.
That's why I teach you to research your idea before making it.
You'll learn how to check whether people are searching for that type of journal and whether similar ones are selling.
Research helps you make a more informed choice, but it cannot promise sales.
If a journal doesn't sell, you won't have a pile of printed copies sitting in your house. You can review what you've made, use what you've learned, and research your next idea.
Can I do this without a social media following?
Yes.
My course teaches you how to research journal and notebook ideas and put them up for sale on Amazon.
You don't need to start by growing an Instagram or TikTok account, and you don't have to post videos of yourself.
You'll learn how to use keywords and categories so your journal is listed for the searches that fit it.
Can I take the course on my phone?
You can read the lessons on your phone.
For making your journal and uploading it to Amazon, you'll need a computer. Those lessons use computer tools and keyboard steps.
Do I have to tell anyone I'm doing this?
You can choose who you tell.
Your journal can carry your pen name rather than your real name, and you don't need to make a public announcement about your plans.
You do need to give Amazon your real details for your account and payments.
What if I haven't worked in years?
You can still learn how to make and publish journals and notebooks.
You don't need a recent work history to follow the lessons.
If you've spent years raising children, caring for your family, or doing work that never came with a paycheque, that doesn't mean you've forgotten how to learn.
You can start with the first lesson and work through the steps.
You don't have to wait for your life to change before you start doing something for yourself.
You might be looking for a way out of a job you hate.
You might be trying to work out how to support yourself after a separation.
You might want your own money even though you're happy where you are.
Or you might simply be tired of putting every idea you have at the bottom of your list.
I understand why you want something that belongs to you.
And I know how easy it is to tell yourself you'll do something about it when you have more time, when things settle down, or when you feel more confident.
But you don't need to know how to publish a journal or coloring book before you start learning.
That's what Alias Author is for.
I'll teach you how to choose an idea, make a journal, publish it on Amazon, and do it under a name you choose.
You can learn from home, follow the short lessons, and keep your plans to yourself.
You can do this. And I'd love to show you how.
