“The EAC was a blessing in that I learnt so much about how to write a book, the different publishing avenues and agreements. The community fuels a continuous sense of growth.”
“Writing a book is extremely daunting. Being part of a network like the Expert Author Community means that you have the practical and moral support to get it done.”
“Our writers community is where ideas, small and big, are percolated, shared, revised, outgrown, thrown out, revisited, challenged, nurtured, loved, turned into words and eventually published.”
“Finding and joining Kelly’s tribe was vital to my entire writing journey and the ultimate success of Running Deep.”
“I have a fantastic book coach, Kelly Irving who told me my initial idea needed work and pushed me to reconsider whom I was writing for and what they needed to know. Expert Author Community was a bit like my pump class and my pod people support, challenge and celebrate with me.”
“Bringing a book into the world is best done in good company – and that’s exactly what the EAC has given me.”

“It was one of my best business decision to join the Expert Author Community. Without this ‘skeleton structure’, I would NOT have written so focused, to the point and efficiently. It was an enormous help!”
“I am not sure Career Unstuck would have finished without the help and support from this community.”
“A safe and supportive place where all authors support each other throughout the process and sometimes the fear of writing a book. Empowering most of us to do something we have never done before.”

Crafted for aspiring authors to turn their dreams into reality, the EAC provides the perfect blend of support, guidance, and resources to help you write, publish, and continue marketing a book that elevates your impact.
Dr. Shyam Barr
Shyam Barr didn’t just write a book; he filled a critical gap in education.
After years of supporting teachers in self-regulated learning, he saw there was no single resource he could recommend, so he created one.
Educate to Self-Regulate sold 1,200+ copies in just 3 months and has become a catalyst for change in classrooms.
With the support of the EAC community, book sprints, publishing advice, and expert guidance, Shyam shaped his message, stayed accountable, and negotiated a deal with Amba Press. Because writing doesn’t have to be a solo mission.
It’s better when you do it together.

We meet you where you’re at. We've had people join the EAC with absolutely no idea of what their book would be about; others with the makings of a draft book, and even those looking for specific marketing help on a book they already have. As long as you want all the opportunities that come with writing a non-fiction book, you’re in the right place.
We have about 100 members and have over 100 books published. Expect around 30-40 community members on the live coaching sessions, with opportunities for smaller breakout rooms. Our sessions are dynamic and interactive, so no one gets lost or feels overwhelmed. You also can opt-in to additional small group Focus Friends for even more intimate conversation and support, and member-led cowriting sessions. You are important to us.
Yes! We have exclusive Industry Coaches offered to community members for an additional fee. Our coaches are seasoned publishing pros! We recommend aspiring authors join the EAC and complete some of the curriculum first to maximise your investment of working with one of our coaches next.
Yes. You will need to consider costs like hiring an editor, designer, printer, publisher, and marketer. Every author’s writing and publishing choices are different. We discuss this in the group and our members save thousands of dollars from getting their manuscript into great shape from the program. Plus, you will have access to our Trusted People & Perks, which are vetted suppliers and providers who offer special discounts for our members. As an EAC member you get special access to EAC Edit-only packages and our new publishing imprint, EAC Books.
At first, you'll only need a couple of hours a week to work on materials, then when you start writing, you’ll get best results if you can allocate 5-7 hours per week. The Expert Author Community is designed for busy professionals who are delivering client work, but still keeps the pressure on to ensure you do the work. You do not need to come to every live session.
You have the flexibility to make progress as quickly as you like, according to your own schedule. We’ve had people picked up by a publisher in a few weeks from joining, people who have written their books in just 8 weeks and those who like to take much longer and enjoy the ride! If you get your book written quicker, then you have more time to focus on and get support with your launch. In our experience, it’ll take 4-6 dedicated months at the recommended 5-7 hours a week to get a book from initial idea to final edit. Our members love our new option to sign up to 2 intakes to ensure they have adequate time for the whole publishing process.
Why write alone when you can write alongside.
Join the Expert Author Community — and publish the book that builds your business, your brand, and your legacy.
