Welcome to The Book Academy!
Where Stories Become Bestsellers
You have a powerful story inside you; one that could inspire, challenge, and change lives. But the journey from blank page to bookshelves can feel daunting. Where do you start? How do you navigate the complex world of publishing? And most importantly, how do you ensure your message reaches those who need it most?
At The Book Academy (TBA), we believe your story deserves to be told. We understand the frustration of having a burning desire to write, but feeling lost in the process. That’s why we’re here: to be your guide on this transformative journey.
Founded by four-time New York Times bestselling author and 20-year marketing veteran Luvvie Ajayi Jones, TBA is a premier platform dedicated to educating, empowering, and enabling authors to publish impactful, high-selling books.
The Book Academy is more than just a writing or marketing program; it’s a community, a launchpad, and a powerhouse of resources designed to guide you on every step of your literary journey. It’s a movement to democratize the publishing world and amplify diverse voices. We believe that when more people share their unique perspectives, everyone benefits.
Our Mission
At The Book Academy, our mission is simple: to empower more people to become authors, and authors to become bestsellers. We believe that stories have the power to change lives, challenge norms, and leave a lasting legacy. Our goal is to help you bring your unique voice to the world, with the tools, guidance, and support you need to do it.
