Rock Your Author Year: 2026
Create a plan for 2026 to get strategic about publishing, write books readers CRAVE, market them effectively without going crazy, have a blast, and make MONEY from your books.
Are you self-publishing your books but feel like you aren't making progress?
Are you doing ALL THE THINGS - social media, ads, promo - but aren't seeing the success you crave?
Do you struggle to find ways to market your books?
Do you want to earn more royalties, write books readers love, and build an army of superfans?
Why is all of this so stressful and confusing? Why does every author expert tell you that you have to be on a million social media sites and try every marketing technique under the sun and use a certain cover designer and have a catchy tagline and an elevator pitch and and and?
Why can’t self-publishing and marketing just be simple and fun?
Good question. That’s why I’m here.
Hi, I’m Steff Green (pen name Steffanie Holmes), a USA Today bestselling and seven-figure romance author, and I'm here to help you get down and dirty with your publishing strategy.
Before the new year hits, we are clearing away all the bollocks that’s holding you back and stressing you out, so you can on what gets YOUR books into the hands of YOUR readers.
In October 2025, I delivered two strategy calls. On the first, I walked you through creating an author strategy for the coming year, using my strategy as an example. I demonstrated the techniques I use to keep myself on track and ensure I'm only spending my time on things that WORK and LIGHT ME UP.
On the second call, I gave you more info to help you refine your strategy with an in-depth Q&A. The authors in the live call got the chance to have a veteran in the business answer questions and give specific, actionable tips that apply to the publishing world now.
We talked about EVERYTHING – Kickstarter, building fandom, launching books, what's working (and not working) right now, indie to trad, special editions, video content, mindset, fulfillment, pen names, backlist...EVERYTHING.
I won't be repeating the calls live, BUT you can get the recordings of both calls - over 7 hours of content to help you plan your 2026 strategy.
I'll also be giving you access to my Rock Your Author Brand course – this shows you how to define your author brand (something we'll be talking about a lot on the calls) and apply it to the research, writing, publishing, and marketing of your books, using a specific method that I use to streamline my decision-making and cut out the guff that isn’t working.
All of this to achieve our ultimate goal for the year – sell more books. Turn readers into superfans. Take over the world.
We focus on who really matters – your readers, and the stories you're desperate to tell.
I want you to have the best year ever. I want self-publishing to be fun again.

GOT QUESTIONS? I'VE GOT ANSWERS
Click on the questions below. If yours isn't answered here, then please contact me and I'll help.
Q. So there are no live calls?
A. Correct. I did the live calls with an initial group in October 2026. This package includes the video and transcripts of those two calls (the Strategy Call and the Q&A). In total, the calls are over 7 hours of content.
Q. What if I’ve published lots of books/am an experienced indie author. Is this right for me or is it for beginners?
A. Publishing strategy is for everyone. We deal with some beginner strategies but remember I use my 2026 strategy as an example, and I’m a 7-figure author. We get into some more advanced strategies.
Q. I’m traditionally published or pursuing traditional publishing. Is this for me, or only for indies?
A. It’s for both indie and trad! You may not know this, but I’ve recently signed a traditional publishing contract. My 2026 and 2027 will be heavily trad-pub focused, but with a lot of indie in the mix as well. I speak to trad pub and will give you lots of ideas for strategy and book marketing.
Q. How will Rock Your Author Year be conducted?
Rock Your Author Year consists of two elements: The strategy calls, and the Rock Your Author Brand course, which I'm offering as a fun bonus.
The strategy calls were recorded over zoom. You download the recordings and transcripts and you can enjoy them later when you're free.
The course consists of 9 videos, plus transcripts, strategy templates, and branding examples from successful indie authors.
You'll get instant access to the calls, the strategy sheet, and my online course portal, where you'll find the course waiting for you.
Q. What if I haven’t published a book yet?
A. If you’re intending to finish and publish your book in 2026, then Rock Your Author Year does include some awesome ideas for your first book launch. If you are primarily looking for advice on finishing your novel, then this probably isn’t right for you, as we deal more with publishing strategy and marketing over craft.
What if I'm not satisfied/don't find the course useful?
If you change your mind for any reason, I offer a 7-day money-back guarantee.
What if I have questions or need extra help?
All you have to do is ask! Hit me up on steff@rageagainstthemanuscript.com.
