Are you an expert?
Do you want to establish yourself
as an expert in your field?


Experts can command speaking fees in the tens of thousands of dollars—for an hour’s work! Experts sign lucrative publishing deals—both domestically and in foreign territories—and extend the reach of their words.

Experts are regularly interviewed by the media, and appear on television as guests and moderators. Finally, experts make A LOT more money than people who simply write a book, list it on Amazon, and hope for the best.

Saying you’re an expert is one thing.

But in order to prove it to people, you will need a book.

Have you tried to write a book in the past? Have you started and stopped a few times over, not being able to make much progress? Or have you completed a rough draft, and need help in getting it out into the world?

Many people have these problems. There’s nothing to be ashamed of, if it’s happened to you.

My name is Alyson Mead. I have been in the publishing business for over 18 years, and have helped dozens of people achieve their dreams of writing books, and getting their words out to a larger (and often very appreciative) audience.


I’ve worked for most of the top New York publishing houses, including Scholastic, Macmillan, McGraw-Hill, Prentice-Hall, Silver, Burdett & Ginn, Glencoe, and many others. As well, I have published hundreds of articles in over 30 publications worldwide!

The good news is -- I can help you, too!

"Alyson's guidance had helped me win 2nd place in a literary contest, and be published in three online magazines. Her help has also been directly responsible for my gaining literary representation. With Alyson’s assistance, I am now able to call myself a writer. Just like Dragnet, those are the facts.”

-- Allan Wasserman, Actor, Sex and the City, Curb Your Enthusiasm & Seinfeld


"Alyson Mead was sent from above. I couldn't have wished for a more talented, punctual, creative and kind partner. She ‘got’ me and helped me mold and create a masterpiece! I am truly grateful!"

-- Hilary Momberger, Author of Peanuts to Percocet: Scenes from a Hollywood Childhood

According to the Wall Street Journal, there are currently 2.8 million books in print ( as of April 24, 2004). But that does little to stem the tide of books written each year. This year alone, over 195,000 new titles will be released.

According to recent statistics:

• 81% of people feel they have a book inside them.

• 27% would write fiction.

• 28% would write personal development.

• 27% would write history, biography, etc.

• 20% would do a picture book, cookbook, etc.

• 6 million have written a manuscript.

• 6 million manuscripts are making the rounds.

Out of every 10,000 children's books, 3 get published.

That’s a lot of competition.

But it doesn’t have to be disheartening.

Every day, I help new authors get published, so it is possible to get attention for your book, product or service. It just requires careful planning, and realistic expectations of what can be expected at each step of the publishing process.

How do I do it? By helping my clients build a platform from which to launch their books.

"Alyson's work exceeded all expectations. Not only was she incredibly fast and efficient, she was an excellent tour guide through the intricacies of the ever-evolving book world. Her helpful suggestions ultimately found my book an agent!"


-- Melissa Anderson, author of Veiled Remarks: A Curious Compendium for the Nuptially Inclined

These days, it’s no longer good enough to write a brilliant book and put it out. As you have seen from the statistic above, 194,999 other people do the same thing each year.

Instead, agents and editorial at publishing companies will be looking for people who have already built a solid platform from which to launch their book, and other related products, into the marketplace.

But how do I do that, you may ask. It’s hard enough to write the book!

Yes, it is hard to write a book. But it’s even harder, emotionally, if you’ve made the effort to write a book, only to have it not live up to your expectations when you try to put it out.

Wouldn’t you like to ...

Have your book reviewed by newspapers and magazines?

Be interviewed on television and radio?

Give readings in bookstores all over the world?

Enjoy the added benefits of having a published book?


I'm sure I don't need to tell you that those
benefits include:

• Being able to call yourself a bestselling author.

• Having agents contact you.

• Having publishing companies contact you.

• Being asked to speak in public.

• Making more money than ever before.

“I had no idea what I was doing when I started this process of writing a book. All I had was trust, that it would work out and someday be finished. I was often scared of what I was getting myself into, but Alyson has a calming presence that has been amazing.”

-- Irina Mutzski, Minneapolis, MN


“When I first met Alyson, I had no idea what a ‘platform’ was, or how it related to writing my first book. But she showed me how important this step was. I’m about three months from finishing, and I can’t wait to get my work out into the world, using her method.”

-- Dave Bunston, Los Angeles, CA

My program has been developed after 19 years of working with fiction writers, essayists, and non-fiction authors. I have ghostwritten books that have been on bestseller lists all over the country, and worked for many celebrity clients. But all my clients get the same great treatment. And now, so can you.


What do I get in return, you ask?

Two things, actually. The knowledge that I've helped someone achieve a lifelong dream, and that I've assisted a reader somewhere in finding the perfect solution to their problem.

Let’s face it, though. My hourly rate isn’t cheap. I have a lot of experience, gained over years of working in publishing, and many insider contacts. I may never have made it to law school like my family wanted, but I make as much, and sometimes more, than most lawyers I know.

I want to help people. And very few lawyers get to do that.

One day, I realized I could help a lot more people
if I turned to the Internet.


In response, I’ve developed an online coaching program suitable for everyone. How to Write a Book, Build a Platform & Become an Expert is an exclusive membership program. For a very low monthly fee, you can access all the information I normally provide to my clients, for a fraction of the cost!

Oh yeah, I can hear you thinking. But what’s in it for me?

Each week, you’ll receive 3-4 emails providing:

• Concrete steps to help develop your idea into a book.

• Ongoing encouragement and motivation.

• Simple instructions for building your platform.

And as an absolutely FREE bonus, you will receive:

• Personalized answers about your project!

• Personalized online chats!

• Access to group teleseminars, for even more helpful info!

WOW! That’s more than I gave the clients
who paid my full hourly rate!


Each step of my system has been carefully honed over 19 years in the publishing business. I’ve factored in the positive experiences my clients have enjoyed, and created ways to avoid all their pitfalls, so you won’t have to repeat any of their mistakes.




My life has been wonderful so far, and I have been blessed with a fabulous career. I read a quote once, in New York magazine, and keep it taped to my computer to remind me of what I have been given. It reads, “Our responsibility as privileged human beings is to pay back for the opportunities we’ve received.”

This program is my attempt to pay back what I have been given in my life:

• A wonderful husband, who encourages my entrepreneurial spirit,

• A comfortable home and career,

• A loving family and group of friends,

• Excellent spiritual and physical health,

• And much more!

As you may already know, publishing is a calling, and some have no choice but to heed the call. I believe there is a way to get your words and your ideas out to a larger audience, without losing your shirt or your dignity in the process.

You could go out and spend thousands of dollars on books, tapes and online courses you’ll never finish. That takes a lot of time and energy, and it won’t get you published happily. In my system, the information comes to you, in a way you can manage on a day-to-day basis.

Publishing happily entails building a platform while you’re writing your book, to make the process faster and more efficient. You will have to do this step anyway, so why not take small actions each week that will accumulate into something greater over time?

By the time you finish the first draft of your book, you can have an audience primed and ready to buy whatever you have to offer. This will not only impress agents and editors, but will make it much easier for you to field offers from major publishing companies. After all, who wouldn’t want an author who has a built-in audience of eager readers?

Don’t forget that publishing a book is also a great way to expand the “brand” of whatever you’re trying to sell. Books can provide an excellent platform to sell other items, or generate sponsorships from large companies. Jennifer Lopez doesn’t just act in films. She releases records, sells perfume, clothing, shoes, handbags and other consumer products. You can do this, too.




If you have a great idea, why leave money on the table?

Many people may want to rush through the writing of their first book, believing that it will bring them the fame and fortune they will need to have others take care of the marketing. But this just doesn’t happen in this day and age, or I should say, very, very rarely.

Remember, 194,999 people have the same idea you do, right at this moment. Why not give yourself a real competitive edge, the kind that will knock your competition out of the water for good?

My system, How to Write a Book, Build a Platform & Become an Expert, is jam-packed with excellent information that can help you become an unstoppable force in the world of publishing.
