Luvvie's Books

Your journey to being a successful author starts here.

At The Book Academy, we believe everyone has a story worth telling, and we’re here to help you tell it in the most powerful way possible. Whether you’re just starting out (and don’t know where to start) or already published but looking to make a greater impact, our programs, workshops, and resources are designed to guide you to success.

Holding your ideas back isn’t humility, it’s hoarding. The world needs the book you haven’t written yet: Your expertise, wisdom, and hard-won lessons could change people’s lives.

You don’t need permission to write your book.
But you do need clarity, confidence, and the right tools (and maybe a little tough love).

We’ve got you.

Write and publish the story you’ve waited too long to tell.

This process isn’t about creativity. It’s about commitment.

If you’re waiting for a chorus-of-angels burst of inspiration, you won’t get it. Because you’ve already lived your inspiration.

And now it’s time to write it down.

The Book Academy will give you all the tools to navigate the publishing process: We’ll teach you how to clarify your idea, craft a proposal, and understand your publishing options.

Then it’s up to you to make your book a reality. Stop holding yourself back… The world is waiting to hear your story.

I’m Luvvie.

Today, I’m a 4x New York Times bestselling author. But for years, I wouldn’t even call myself a writer.

Becoming an author was a long road: I wasn’t even sure I had a solid concept, and once I did, 11 editors turned me down before I got a deal. And that was just the beginning.

I had to figure it all out on my own, but you don’t have to. I created The Book Academy to help make writing and publishing a book easier for you than it was for me — and show you that if I can do it, so can you.

About Luvvie

What Members and Alums of The Book Academy are Saying…

Gray speech bubble with testimonial text that says "I was expecting a wealth of information but WOW. The ability to give such incredible information, but in a way that's clear and inspires immediate action and confidence is an ability that only Luvvie Ajayi Jones has. I have wanted to write a book for YEARS and always pushed it aside for the right time. There will never be the perfect time to do it, it's time to get out of my way to do it and when the overwhelming process is made clear, where are the excuses? Luvvie's dedication to educating about the book writing process and lifting people up is unmatched and I cannot wait to continue with such an incredible group in the book proposal course."Gray speech bubble with testimonial text that says "The course ended yesterday and it was worth the time and investment. The course raised so many valuable issues that I never seriously considered, issues like my audience and it size, why the world/Liberia needs this book right now, what qualifies me to write this book, the importance of my network for marketing purposes, etc. I have thought about several of these issues but not sufficiently to have written my ideas on these issues on paper. I am reviewing the material this morning and will perhaps spend the next few days doing so. Following the course materials puts structure to the whole book-writing effort. VERY VALUABLE! Thanks!"
Gray speech bubble with testimonial text that says "Finally caught up this afternoon... oh man, y'all. I'm so inspired and after years of responding to "So, when are you writing your book?" with an external eye roll and an internal prayer, I finally feel like I have actual STEPS to take. Thankful for this group - followed everyone on Instagram that signed up on the list posted in here and I am so ready to promote y'all to the ends of the earth, too!" Gray speech bubble with testimonial text that says "This has been such an unexpected and rewarding experience. I am so happy I got to be a part of this amazing group. Thank you Luvvie Ajayi Jones and Team for energizing us and opening the gates to show us around bit. This has been so meaningful for me. You won't ever understand how much. I finally did this big thing for me. And it was more than worth it."

Published isn’t a pipe dream.
