I’m Frankie — USA Today bestselling author, 24 books in print, 25 years in publishing, and one spectacular burnout that taught me everything the productivity gurus won’t. Real Indie Author is built on one idea: your writing career should run on YOUR wiring, not someone else’s system. Wherever you are right now, there’s a door below that fits. Pick the one that sounds like you today.
Building A System Based On My Own Experience
“I don’t know what my wiring even is.”
Start with the free diagnostic. Five minutes, and you’ll know your Author House — the creative wiring that explains why ‘write every day’ works for your friend and wrecks you. Everything else here builds on this.
“I want to learn, but I’m not ready to spend anything.”
Good — don’t. Watch the free workshop on your writing rhythm (why daily word counts damage some writers, and the burnout early-warning signs that show up weeks before the wall). Then subscribe to the podcast and field notes — they’re sorted by House, so you can read only what’s written for how YOU work.
“My brand is mush and I don’t know how to talk about my books.”
Start with the Brand Ignition Statement mini-course. It’s the $97 self-guided version of the exact brand work I do with private clients — you’ll leave with the one sentence that tells readers exactly whose author you are.
“I want to learn to write on my wiring — a real course, not a call.”
Write Like You’re Wired is the eight-week course that teaches exactly that: brainstorming, outlining, drafting, editing, scheduling, and burnout-proofing — each one tuned to your House. Async videos you watch anytime, because a course about your rhythm shouldn’t dictate your schedule.
“I want the whole business built — not just the writing.”
Write Like You’re Wired is the eight-week course that teaches exactly that: brainstorming, outlining, drafting, editing, scheduling, and burnout-proofing — each one tuned to your House. Async videos you watch anytime, because a course about your rhythm shouldn’t dictate your schedule.
“I honestly don’t know which of these I need.”
Then don’t guess — book the free Unstuck Author Call. Twenty minutes, I tell you exactly what’s broken and what to fix first. No pressure, no script. If one of my programs fits, I’ll say so. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you that too
One more thing, because somebody needs to hear it: you are not behind, and you are not broken. You’ve been running on a system built for a different writer. Every door on this page leads to the same place — a career that runs on your chaos instead of fighting it. Pick a door. I’ll meet you on the other side.
