Workshops & Sessions

On-demand conversations about modern authorship, publishing, and leverage

Rather than running frequent live events, we make selected sessions available on-demand when they offer lasting value.

These recordings reflect real conversations with authors navigating actual decisions, not promotional webinars or generic presentations.

Modern Publishing Masterclass (On-Demand)

How serious nonfiction books are written, announced, published, and leveraged today.

This session covers:

  • How modern publishing actually works
  • Why audience building now happens during writing
  • How presales, early readers, and launch strategy fit together
  • The difference between publishing a book and building leverage from one

This is a foundational overview of our publishing philosophy and process.

Author OS Working Sessions (Selected Recordings)

Real questions. Real constraints. Real decisions.

These recordings come from live office hours inside Modern Author OS and cover topics like:

  • Positioning and category decisions
  • Structuring complex nonfiction ideas
  • Editorial readiness and revision planning
  • Launch timing and reader engagement

They are practical, candid, and occasionally messy, in the best way.

A Note on Availability

Not all sessions remain public forever.

We rotate recordings based on relevance and clarity, and keep this page intentionally focused rather than exhaustive.
