Are you an aspiring or emerging author who feels stuck?

  • Have you dreamed of writing a book but have no idea where to start?
  • Do you have a manuscript but feel lost about what to do next?
  • Are you feeling overwhelmed with how to publish and promote your book?

Wherever you are on your writing journey, the Idea to Author Club is here to help.

This is for you if:

  • You’re staring at a blank page and need inspiration, structure and support
  • You’ve got a finished manuscript and need clarity on the next steps
  • You’ve published a book and want strategies and ideas to promote it
  • You’re craving expert guidance, accountability and a writing community

 “The existence of my book owes much to my publisher, Sarah Houldcroft of Goldcrest Books, who showed me that it was possible for me to write my first book, and who kept me on track with her knowledge and experience.”

You bring the dream, the Idea to Author Club makes it real.

I’ve helped hundreds of authors go from idea to finished book and beyond since 2010. Whether you’re writing fiction or non-fiction, starting fresh or stuck in the middle, I’ll guide you with practical advice, honest feedback and the support you need to keep going.

This isn’t just another course, it’s a community and a mentorship experience designed to grow with you and support you on your author journey.

What You’ll Get as a Member

Kicking off the Club

This is the first group session where all founder members have a chance to meet each other and share their thoughts on what would be useful for them and what they would like to see in the club. It will also be a chance for Sarah to share information about planned future resources and sessions.

Live Q&A Group Calls with Sarah
Get direct answers to your questions once a month during these group calls so that everyone can benefit from the answer you receive. These calls will be recorded so they build into a resource bank for you to refer back to and for future members to utilise.

Accountability & Motivational Group Sessions twice a month

Each 90 mins session begins with a few moments to get you into the frame of mind to write. Then follows 1 hour of writing time where we keep our videos on so that we can see each other, just as we would if we were all sitting around a table together.

We finish the session with each person briefing sharing what they want to achieve in the following two weeks before the next session, giving you the all-important accountability and time to be successful in your writing journey.

Each month new material will be added

As the club grows and develops more resources will be added each month. There will be group sessions if you need:

  • Help and resources if you are at the beginning of your writing journey
  • Feedback and help taking steps towards publishing your book
  • Advice and ideas if you need help promoting your newly published book

I came to Sarah as a complete novice in this field and she guided and nurtured my writing and publishing ambitions with professionalism and calmness.

My book, Work Your Quirks, would not have seen the light of day without Goldcrest Books and of course Sarah at the helm. If you are looking for someone who has the patience of a saint, yet a strong will to coach you to focus on getting your book published, Sarah is the go-to person.
