Who Author Alliance is Right For
This program is designed for business owners, thought leaders, and industry experts who want to write an excellent nonfiction book – as quickly and painlessly as possible.
You are an excellent candidate for the program if…
- You're a business owner doing $200K-$1M/year. Whether you're a founder, consultant, coach, or an industry expert, you know you have a book in you. You're just not sure which publishing path to take, who all you need to hire, or how to do this right. You're also unsure of which goals are realistic for you, and which goals are not worth pursuing (or are simply just fantasies).
- You’re successful in business, health, or relationships. You’ve achieved some outcome that people continually ask you for advice about. And you often get paid well to help others get that outcome. People might have even asked you: Do you have a book? or When are you going to write a book?
- You’re ready to permanently level up. You have a proven process, inarguable expertise, and demand that’s resulting in paying clients. You’re ready to throw gas on the fire you’ve started, all while elevating your brand, business, and career.
- You want to leave a legacy. You've accomplished a lot, and now you want to immortalize your wisdom. You know the way to do that is to put your lessons learned into a book, so you can share your contributions with humanity for decades to come.
- You want an efficient book writing process, without compromising on quality. You are busy running your business and living your life. You don’t have time to waste going through unnecessary steps and headaches. You want a clear cut path to getting your book done. You also understand that it will cost a decent chunk of change, effort, and time in order to make it great. You’re both willing and able to invest ample resources into the project.
- You need help stepping into the spotlight. It’s not easy to put yourself out there. I’ve met very few authors who weren’t doubting themselves somewhere along in the process. Even if your book is the most cut-and-dry manual for your niche, it’s still a creative act. And that requires vulnerability and courage. This program is designed to support and guide you through those challenging moments, so you can boldly step into the spotlight when your time comes.
- You suspect you have more than one book in you. While this program is still great for authors who just want to write one book, my aim is to provide you with a process that you can use for the rest of your career. That means you’re equipped with the ability — at least in theory — to churn out a book every year, if that’s what you want. So if that’s you, the program is a solid investment in your future as an author.
The Big Problems We Solve
Before we dive into the specific program details, let's talk about the big problems most nonfiction authors run into, and what we are aiming to completely solve with this program:
- Problem #1: Writing a book is f*ing hard. Less than 0.1% of people who want to publish a book will actually publish it. Less than 1% of people who starting writing a nonfiction book will finish it. There are many reasons for this, including: getting the structure wrong, underestimating the level of difficulty, overwhelmed by fear and insecurity, not knowing which things to put in and leave out, not having enough valuable content, feeling demoralized by an inability to get it done, loneliness and lack of accountability, etc.
- Problem #2: Writing a book takes a long time. The typical duration for an author to write and publish a nonfiction book is five years. I’ve met several authors who tried and failed to write their book for more than a decade. Some people naively assume that A.I. will solve this problem. This is wrong, due to “garbage in, garbage out.” If you don’t know how to strategically and surgically use these tools, you will produce garbage books that people won’t want to read.
- Problem #3: Monetization can be confusing. The majority of self-published authors make less than $1,000 per year from their books. Many of them assume that they need to sell a ton of copies and hit bestseller lists in order to make good money. This is also wrong. Not having the right monetization strategy and business model can turn your book into a liability, rather than an asset.
- Problem #4: Author marketing is confusing. Forget hitting bestseller lists; how about just having a basic funnel? A solid author website that elevates your brand, and a sales process that allows you to earn 3-10X more? The vast majority of nonfiction authors either completely neglect or botch this part.
- Problem #5: Author branding is easy to screw up. It’s hard to “read the label when you’re inside the bottle.” In other words, it’s very difficult to step up your own brand and marketing when you’re so close to it. Very often, authors are constricted or delusional about their brand. This is mostly due to the gap between how they feel about themselves and how others think of them.
- Problem #6: Publishing landmines are everywhere. There are many phases to navigate in order to successfully release a book into the world. There’s planning, writing, editing, designing, branding, publishing, marketing, monetizing, launch, and sales. That’s a LOT to learn along the way. The path is riddled with hidden landmines, many of which can turn into costly or irreversible mistakes. Watch out for “publishing gurus” who’ve been doing this for 2-5 years. Many of them will walk you directly into these landmines. Speaking of…
- Problem #7: Finding legitimate experts is challenging. I don’t like talking down on anyone, but it is frustrating to witness so many of these “experts” — with zero track record of doing anything truly noteworthy — guide naive people into programs that result in unremarkable books, bad books, or no book at all.
What Makes Author Alliance Unique?
Author Alliance is designed for busy professionals who want to get things done. You’ll be given templates and tools to help you make the process as efficient as possible. While you will have to do work, I’ll help you accelerate, delegate, and automate the hardest stuff.
My unique writing process can get your first draft done in just one month – roughly 90% faster than if you did it alone. Best of all: Your content will be in your words, in your voice. No unusable A.I-generated nonsense. This is your book.
Unlike with other book writing programs, readers will actually be impressed by your book – a 5-star read ★★★★★ that's as professional as what you'd produce with a Big-5 publishing house.
For a full year, I'll coach and guide you every step of the way to becoming an iconic author – from book idea to writing, editing, publishing, launch, marketing, and monetization. This is an end-to-end program that’s supercharged for efficiency, effectiveness, and ease.
The program is structured with the nine key phases of becoming a successful nonfiction author:

Which brings us to an important question…
Why should you listen to me?
Meet Your Coach: The Guide to Iconic Authors
My name is Charlie Hoehn. I'm a 3-time author, 3-time New York Times bestselling editor, keynote speaker, and the founder of Author Alliance.
For the last 15 years, I’ve worked with many of the world’s most iconic nonfiction authors, helping them step into the spotlight and level up their books, brands, and businesses exponentially.
Their work has changed countless lives, quite literally shaped the global culture, earned them millions (in some cases, hundreds of millions), and sealed their reputation as icons.
Below is a list of authors I’ve worked with or advised in various capacities.
Collectively, these authors have sold well over 30 million copies of their books.
Several of them hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
Four of them hit #1 on Amazon OVERALL.
One is the star of a Top 10 Netflix series (congrats Ramit!)
Not only have I coached more than 250 nonfiction authors (with many becoming millionaires and industry leaders in the process), I’ve also gotten great results for myself.
- Published multiple influential books that are selling 10+ years later
- Sold more than 40,000 copies
- Received unsolicited endorsements from the likes of Andrew Huberman, Tony Robbins, Ryan Holiday, Tim Ferriss, Chase Jarvis, Justin Mares, and Dr. Peter Gray
- Briefly hit 'Top 10 Audiobooks on Audible'
- Delivered four TEDx talks, with over 250K+ views
- Professional speaker, charging $25K for domestic keynotes
- Invited by and presented to groups at the Pentagon, Microsoft, PepsiCo, Stanford, and New Canaan Society
- Worked for six years at the top professional publishing company in the world, Scribe Media, where we published over 2,000 books
Who Should NOT Join Author Alliance
My program is definitely not for everyone. You are not ready or right for the program if…
- You cannot afford to invest money into doing your book. This program is not cheap, and it does NOT include any of the above costs associated with publishing a book (e.g. cover designer, website designer, photographer, etc.) While I will connect you with excellent service providers, and often at lower rates, you will still have these additional costs to consider. So, if you have a bunch of credit card debt, or the thought of investing 5-figures into a program like this makes you sweat, do not apply to my program. Instead, apply to Manuscripts.com. It's a more economic solution and they can help you create an excellent book.
- You have not validated your business or book concept. I understand the appeal of writing a book to generate leads for your new business venture. But if you haven’t sold your offer to at least three people, do not join the program. Same goes with ”big idea” type books. If you haven’t validated that people urgently want the information or advice you’re dispensing, do not join the program. You don’t want to dump attention onto a broken funnel. Go validate your offer / ideas first, then apply.
- You just want to tell your story. Writing a book can certainly be therapeutic, but that’s not what this program is about. If you’re wanting to write a memoir, where you focus on sharing your truth and healing yourself, check out my friend Tucker Max’s program. He’s one of the best memoir authors on the planet (both in terms of writing AND selling), and a phenomenal coach.
Two Ways to Join
There are two levels to this program, which are fundamentally different games. The simplest way to explain them is as follows:
- Level 1 is R.O.I. — For authors who want to earn $1M+ with their book
- Level 2 is Reach — For authors who want to sell 1M+ copies of their book
Again with the disclaimer: I do NOT guarantee either of these outcomes. My program is merely focused on increasing your probabilities of achieving them. Whether you hit your particular target (or not) will be determined by many factors, all of which vary based on each individual author’s situation.
If you’re still not sure which one is right for you, read on…

Frequently Asked Questions
How many coaching calls will I get?
104 calls. Yes, really. You’ll have a full year of access to our twice-weekly 60-minute group coaching calls, every Monday and Thursday. I typically charge $1,000 per hour for 60-minute private author consultations, so this is a solid deal imho.
Will you provide individual guidance on my book?
Yes. We can discuss your book, brand, and business during our twice-weekly group coaching calls. You can also ask questions and chat with me in our private Skool group. That said, requests to review your work need to be within reason. For instance: I won’t edit your book, but I will provide you with suggestions on what needs to be done.
Will you help me decide which book I should write?
Yes. Many experts have more than one book in them, so the challenge is simply choosing which one to focus on and refining its scope. I will absolutely help you with that.
Will you introduce me to pros who can edit / design my book?
Yes. Finding great publishing professionals can be tough. Fortunately, I have a process that connects you with the world's top publishing pros. I will make warm intros at key points, and they will help you get the work done.
I'm not a big influencer with a huge audience. Will I be able to join?
Of course! Author Alliance is a group coaching program designed for business owners and thought leaders who want to publish their book fast and well. There is no requirement on your audience size for joining this program. You can have a small or modest following (or even no following).
My other program, Author Ally, is exclusively for big influencers who are already established (1M+ followers). That program is invite-only, 1-on-1, and 10X more expensive. So, do not be intimidated by the "big name authors" I listed above. That's a separate program.
Apply to Join the Program
If you’re ready to go on this journey of turning your knowledge into a 5-star book, this is your opportunity to do it right.
Whether you're an established expert or an emerging thought leader, Author Alliance is your smoothest and most efficient pathway to successfully becoming an author.
