Finally Write and Publish the Book of Your Dreams
In 1 Year to Publish, you will get the tools and training you need to write and publish the book you've been dreaming about. Tell me moreYes, I want to apply nowI know how hard it is to write a book because I’ve been there.
My name is Joe Bunting, and I’ve written over a dozen books. I’ve also trained thousands of people on how to write books of their own.
But writing didn’t come to me naturally. In fact, I have always struggled to write. In high school, I decided I wanted to become a professional writer, but I couldn’t even finish writing one chapter of a book.
In college, I even studied creative writing, but that just made it harder since I knew how bad my own writing was compared to the writers I loved.
After college, I worked as a journalist and then traveled the world to write, but every time I tried to write a book, I failed miserably.
It went on like this for years.
Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever had a great book idea, tried to write a book, and then failed?
If you've tried and failed to write a book before, you're not alone.
In fact, I talk to writers every day who are struggling with things like:
- Fear that everything you write is terrible
- Writer's block
- Lack of time to write
- Not enough discipline to finish
- Running out of ideas
- Worry that you will never finish your book
And that doesn't even include all the problems the publishing process brings.
Sound familiar?
It's a wonder anyone publishes their books at all! That's where I was in 2009, wanting to write a book, desperate to get published, but afraid I would never actually do it.
Then something happened:
I got a mentor who showed me the process.
As luck would have it, I met a New York Times best-selling author who agreed to teach me to write a book. Then my book was edited by someone who is now a Wall Street Journal best-selling author.
After that first book, I wrote more books, more than a dozen now. But if I hadn't first found a mentor who could teach me the process, I would still be stuck today.
If you think you can write a book on your own, you're destined to continue to fail at finishing your book.
But once you have the right mentor who can guide you through a proven process, you can finally experience what it's like to hold your published book in your hands. (It's an amazing feeling. Trust me.)
We've helped thousands of writers in our community to experience holding their finished book in their hands, and I want to help you have that experience, too.
Now, I want to guide you through the writing and publishing process that changed my life.

We call it our Finish Your Book Guarantee, and we offer it because we know how stressful and confusing it is to try to write and publish a book and fail, often for years.

I have a book in progress. Is this course open only to people who are starting from scratch?
If you're in the middle of a book—or even rewriting a previously finished draft—that's great! You are the perfect person to join this program and get the focus and accountability you need to finish.
I have a finished draft of my book and need to edit it. Will this course help me?
Yes! One Year to Publish includes professional editing, so you'll get the feedback you need to make the most impactful changes to your book. Then, we'll walk you through the editing process in 100 Day Book. By the end of the program, you'll turn that rough draft into a final draft that's ready to publish.
What if I write nonfiction?
What if don't live in the United States?
This course is open to all authors and aspiring authors, whether in the United States, Europe, Australia, India, or elsewhere. If you want to write a book, this course is for you. Keep in mind that you'll gather live on Zoom several times a month with your mastermind cohort, and let us know in your application which of our available time slots works best for you.
When do the payments end?
You can continue to receive coaching, access to the masterminds, and membership to your critique group indefinitely. However, you must continue payments for a full year (a minimum of 12 payments) to receive professional editing.
What will we do at the virtual retreat?
At our virtual retreat, a group of writers will gather together live for a three-day writing experience. We’ll create our book plans and prepare to write. By the end of the weekend, you will leave ready to write!
Retreat tickets are available only to writers who join One Year to Publish or 100 Day Book. You can get all the details about the retreat here.
Do I get $100 back if I finish my book on time?
YES! As part of 100 Day Book, you will also get $100 back if you complete your book in 100 days and get less than three strikes. This is true for both rounds of 100 Day Book, so you could receive $200! The payments will be sent out about a month after the finish of the 100 days, or after 5 payments have been completed.
The book I want to write or am editing is more than 100,000 words.
If the book you work on in 1 Year to Publish is more than 100,000 words, you may need to pay a “reading fee” in addition to the cost of your program because of the extra time it will take your editor to read and critique your manuscript. If you believe your book will be longer than 100,000 words, and you'd like an estimate, please let us know in your application. Thanks!
