Author Allies Beta Graduates: Wins, Growth, and Finding Their Power

 Author Allies Beta Graduates: Wins, Growth, and Finding Their Power

When we launched the Author Allies Beta Program, our mission was clear: help leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries write books that aren’t vanity projects—but true brand centerpieces, authority platforms, and business growth strategies.

Over six months, our first group of graduates not only made significant progress on their manuscripts but also discovered the power of writing in community, the clarity of guided coaching, and the momentum that comes from doing it the Next Page way.

Here are some of their reflections:

Finding Momentum and Belief in the Process

“I found myself a publishing company (Next Page), so I’m going to have my book published by the end of January. After my initial conversation with Larissa, I finally gained the momentum to write—that was my turning point. I highly recommend that everyone experience that kind of support. It truly shifted everything for me.”

— Lillian Iny, soon to be 2x Author.

Stepping into Thought Leadership

“The feedback I received on my last six chapters encouraged me to go back, review, and make changes. I’ve also been applying the tools I’ve learned to upcoming chapters, really stepping into that thought-leader place of learning. It feels like such an important shift.”

— Meg King, soon to be Author.

From Draft to Real-World Impact

“The feedback on my final submission was so helpful. It allowed me to reframe how my work could be used—not just for the book, but in my business right now. I shared it with a client, and it led to a much better session. To see something go from my head, through the process, and out into the world with impact… that was incredible.”

— Kerry Dobson, soon to be Author.

The Power of Being Seen and Supported

“For me, the biggest takeaway is gratitude—for allowing myself to really be seen and held in a safe way. Opening up and sharing my writing has been such a huge step, and this group gave me that space.”

— Callie Strouf, soon to be Author.

Every Word is Progress
Coach Amy Vogel often reminds authors:

“Every word written is progress. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t have to be finished. What matters is that you keep going. We believe in your message. Stand in your power. People want to hear what you have to say—because it’s you they’re reading for.”

Standing in Thought Leadership

“At first, I thought my book would be a tiny project—if I was lucky. But as I wrote and received encouragement, I realized I had so much more to say. I was challenged to stand in my power and my perspective. That was the real win: realizing I’m doing more than I ever gave myself credit for.”

— Kerry Dobson, soon to be Author.

The Power of Words to Help Others

“Having the power of a group behind me was so important. I also learned a lot about myself—that my story is worth sharing. I want to support other women who’ve struggled as I have. The feedback I received gave me the courage to realize: this is valuable. Someone will benefit from it. My words can help change lives.”

— Meg King, soon to be Author.

Making Writing Possible

“I’ve always wanted to write a book, but as an engineer, it felt daunting. This group made it easy by breaking it down step by step. The one-on-one sessions were incredibly insightful. I’m so glad I went through this process instead of putting it off again.”

— Katherine Fehily, soon to be Author.

Structure, Support, and Commitment

“Up until I joined, I hadn’t written much. After an initial call, I found momentum and just kept writing. Now I have a structure in my mind. I encourage everyone to go for it—the support system is incredible. The Next Page team will take care of your book. You cannot write a book in isolation. With this team, it will get done.”

— Lillian Iny, soon to be 2x Author, and Next Page Client.

Do It the Next Page Way

What these graduates discovered is what sets Author Allies apart: strategy, accountability, and the power of community. Writing a book isn’t just about putting words on a page—it’s about standing in your authority, building your brand centerpiece, and unlocking new opportunities for growth.

These women didn’t just write; they stepped into their thought leadership. And that’s what happens when you do it the Next Page way.
