Welcome to the Author Stack. This publication sits at the intersection of craft and commerce, helping writers build more sustainable businesses that allow them to thrive.
We believe in what we call the HAPI Compass to building a successful author career, which revolves around four points. Point it at your work and your direction comse into view:
H – Heart: the projects and inspiration that give you goosebumps and will resonate deeply with your readers.
A – Audience: the people orbiting those ideas, ready to championing them, amplify your reach, and fall deeply in love with what you create.
P – Prioritization: Deep focus on one high-leverage move at a time, letting it pay off, then reinvesting the space and cash it creates to widen your runway and buy yourself time for what matters.
I – Income: Generating the money that sustains your ideal life while fueling the creative work that lights you up.
Plot those four points, and you have more than a framework. You have a living compass. When you start to drift in one of the four points, you can use our resources to help center yourself and get back in alignment.
We have a quick start guide for Hapitalist members.
