Karla is top notch! She knows her 'stuff', the pricing is fair, and the coaches also know what they're doing.
Everything I needed to know was on the videos. If I had questions, there was always a coach to answer my questions. Everyone I dealt with was amazing and went beyond to be helpful and the customer service was the best ever!
Thank you everyone!

Using a one-to-one coaching call with Tara was just what I needed!!! I came to the call with confusion and frustration. And within a very short period of time, she helped to prioritize my tasks, gain clarity with the situations I'm facing and best of all, her warmth and understanding made a significant positive difference.
Yay FPA! Thanks Tara!!!!!!!!!

Daniel was incredibly helpful in perfecting my blurb! Writing blurbs is no easy task, so I was grateful for his assistance and guidance. He was clear, direct, and ensured I didn't settle for an "okay" blurb. Thanks to his help, we made it great!

I was having a hard time coming up with my first blurb and it took Daniel to steer me in the right direction! Several revisions later, he finally gave me the go-ahead. Thank you so much for your guidance and patience!

Daniel is an honest and tough coach and very patient. Well worth it. I had to put my ego aside and be coachable. He's committed to my success and it felt really good to finally get his approval on my blurb.

I can't say enough about all the FPA coaches and what seems to be a magical amount of patience they all demonstrate. Daniel’s guidance on my blurbs is indispensable. Every time I hit a wall with my blurbs, Daniel is there, offering his wisdom with endless patience and kindness. He also doesn’t let the small things slide, and helps you until it is 100% ready. Thank you, Daniel!

Tara is so helpful. I am still having problems getting mailerlite going but it's in the works. Tara saw the problem may be two emails@mydomain. com. We were disconnected when I lost power on my end. She used Telegram to let me know she was aware.

The one-on-one coaching call I had with Tara was fantastic!! I was having a lot of trouble writing my blurb and she was so great with putting me on the right track FINALLY!! I was completely stuck on it for quite some time but she provided some very valuable constructive criticism to the ‘several’ blurbs I had written, that made so much sense and helped me understand the process a lot better! Tara is a very kind, patient and personable coach and has a very good approach giving feedback & suggestions, which is very respectful and constructive, instead of just simply saying that it’s not working, which is not helpful at all! Thank-you Tara, I really appreciate all your help!! 🙏❤️

My one-on-one zoom call with Tara went great!! Tara was able to explain to me what I needed to move forward when I felt stuck. In addition, she wrote out for me a step-by-step plan to resolve the issue I had.
I always enjoy working with Tara. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

I've completed the entire coursework with FPA and have published 8 books, 1 boxset, and 1 Lead Magnet following all their guidelines. I have diligently sent newsletters with swaps with other authors, joined group promos, run facebook ads that hit the bench mark numbers, created an ARC team to increase reviews, edit and re-edit my blurbs, redo my covers with newest trends, use top tropes, watch group coaching calls, ask for help in the facebook group, and all the other steps that they teach.
Between the cost of ghostwriters, editors, all the programs (like mailerlite, bookfunnel, bookclicker, etc.), and ads, I have invested over $8,000 (not including the $2,000 cost of the program). I have made less than $500 back on all my books.
I think the program does teach you about publishing, but it is not easy. It takes up a ton of time and effort (and luck probably), and very very few students actually succeed. The costs are way more than the $350 per book or whatever they claim is possible. The coaches are nice and can help with specific issues but there is not enough support or guidance to actually help you create a successful business. I think the advertising and assurances that anyone can do this are deeply misleading.
I really regret wasting so much time and money on this program and being a publisher, and I hope if you're considering it because like me, you're desperate for a better life with more income and not afraid of hard work to get there, DON'T fall for their marketing.
For me, the combination of lack of support, how they constantly push their 1-on-1 bookcamp of $10,000, lack of transparency on how much time and effort it actually entails, and weird emotional manipulation they use in the advertising makes this a really unprofessional and rather predatory business.
Let's just say, the Fiction Profit Academy actually does tell you the truth. The incredible profit they promise is all just fiction.

My coach Tara, was so nice and kind and really listened to me and helped me out tremendously. She took her time and listened to what I needed help with and gave great feedback!

I love FPA, everyone has been super helpful and the way they have created the classes it’s super easy to follow and get everything done on your own. You get a lot support from Facebook to group couching, to one on one coaching, and etc. I had my first one on one with Tara was obsoletely amazing, she was super detailed on where and how I should improve in my work before I get it published and ready to sell. Also, Kaief has been guiding and supporting through all my up and downs and I can’t thank both of them enough and everyone else in FPA and it’s so worth ur time and effort! Thank you!

I'm so glad FPA has Tara Hill! She is an enormous help and recognizes the type of learning is best for each student. She figured out what I needed right away. I so appreciate it!

Great teaching, very lovely and patient company by the coaches.
Having few 1 on 1 coaching calls even in the "non bootcamp"-version can really boost you.
Try it out and enjoy the family which helps you in anything you need :)

Daniel was intrical in the development of my blurb writing skills. I was given so much help.

Bootcamp is so much help!

There a lot of information that is delivered as a step by step guide that makes sense if you follow the instructions. I had a problem doing that (my own problems) but I'm still trying and now that I have the course one day I may just get it right.
