Your story has lived inside your computer for too long. It’s time to get it into the hands of the readers who need it.

Why publish a book?
Less overwhelm, more support.
Feeling completely lost in the publishing process? I get it! I spent decades trying to figure out how to get my stories out into the world.
Then, I found a program that gave me a clear roadmap to getting my book out into the world and within six months I had an agent. Not just any agent – Barack Obama’s agent!
I’d spent DECADES dreaming and in six months of following this roadmap to success, I made that dream come true.
That’s the power of having a clear Path to Published™.

What others are saying about Lauren:
I’ve gained so much from my coaching sessions with Lauren. She has helped me move from feeling stuck to finding a way forward by offering a wealth of knowledge, actionable steps, and encouragement. Her thoughtful yet direct feedback is refreshing and it has made a world of difference in my life!
Lauren is one of the most beautifully sincere people I have ever had the gift of meeting. Her experience runs deep, her perseverance is inspiring. Whether dancing in the sunshine or weathering the storm of life, she is a friend and a mentor – her words are music to my soul.
She ignites a tiny spark inside me to fan the flames into the seldom reached corners of my mind rife with insecurity and doubt, making my uncertainties vanish as my self confidence reemerges and I begin to realize my individual potential and accept myself as I am. I am grateful to her!

Got Questions?
How long is the course? How much time will it take?
Because the course helps you create your own personal roadmap to publishing success, how long the course will take each person varies.
The course has hours of videos for you, but the goal is to not overwhelm you with information but instead provide you with the exact support you need depending on your writing goals.
So, for example, if you plan to self-publish, your roadmap will have you skip over the section on how to get a literary agent.
Think of it like a Choose Your Own Adventure program designed specifically for your and your book’s specific needs.
Do you offer scholarships?
Because we know writers have been hit hard financially due to COVID, we have a special COVID pricing available here.
I also reserve 10% of the spots in my programs for scholarship to people from marginalized communities who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford it. You can find out more about scholarships by emailing courses@laurenmariefleming.com with “Path to Published Scholarship” in the subject line.
How long do I have access to the course?
Once you enroll, you have lifetime access to the course material, including any additional content, bonuses, interviews, or coaching calls we add.
Take yourself through the course with each book you write, over and over again until you have a shelf lined with your stories!
All of this means that the sooner you sign up, the better the value for you! So enroll today!
Do I have to have a completed manuscript to be in Path to Published™?
Path to Published™ focuses on publishing, not writing, so if you’re looking for writing help, check out our Write Your Friggin’ Book Already™ program, or our upcoming Write More Challenge.
However, you do not have to have a fully written book to be in Path to Published™.
In fact, I highly encourage people to think about their publishing goals while they’re writing their book. Knowing how you’ll publish your book now will help you focus your writing to fit that goal.
