📚 What Do I Have Authority On?

When I first asked myself this question, I froze. After all, authority is a big word. It carries weight. It implies mastery, expertise, or accolades that make you the “go-to” in your field.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably wondered the same thing. Maybe you’ve spent nights staring at your book sales dashboard, your cursor blinking on a blank page, or your confidence eroding with every unread blog post, unliked tweet, or lukewarm review.

So, what do I have authority on?

For a long time, I thought the answer was “nothing.” But I’ve learned that authority isn’t always about being the world’s best expert — it’s about having the courage to share your lived truth, the generosity to teach what you’ve learned, and the empathy to hold space for others navigating the same storm.

🎙️ My Real Authority: The Lived Experience of the Struggling Author

Here’s what I know for certain: I have authority on what it feels like to pour your soul into a book — only to wonder Why is nobody buying my book?

I have authority on staying up late wrestling with price points, rewriting blurbs that never feel “good enough,” and learning the subtle art of talking about your book without feeling like a used-car salesperson.

I have authority on the heartbreak of rejection and the strange healing that comes when you realise you can’t tie your self-worth to the numbers on your sales dashboard.

Most importantly, I have authority on what does work — because I stayed in the ring. I tested what resonates with readers, what makes them trust your words enough to exchange their money (and time) for your story.

✨ Where Authority Meets Empathy

My authority isn’t about telling you how to become a millionaire overnight. It’s about helping you see that your book is more than a product — it’s an energy exchange. Readers buy stories that meet them where they are. They buy honesty, vulnerability, and transformation.

This is exactly what I explore in my book, Why Is Nobody Buying My Book? — a practical and deeply personal look at how money mindset, storytelling, and emotional resonance shape your success as an author.

I share lessons from my first book, Diary of Clichés, the moments when I almost gave up, and the gentle breakthroughs that showed me how marketing can be more like healing than hustling.

🌱 What I Want You to Know

If you’ve ever felt unqualified, unworthy, or unseen, remember this: authority doesn’t come from a perfect publishing track record or bestseller badges. It comes from your willingness to share your real, unpolished journey so that someone else feels less alone.

So what do I have authority on?
I have authority on the messy, honest, and healing reality of being an author who wants to matter — and the practical tools to help you do it too.

If you’re ready to claim your own story and finally answer that haunting question — Why is nobody buying my book? — I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you.

After all, your words deserve to be read. And you deserve to trust that your voice matters — because it does.
