The 14-Month Publishing Journey

What We Do For You During Your Publishing Journey

H.O.P.E. Publishing House guides you through every step of our proven 27-Step process — taking you from a book idea to published author and your very own Barnes & Noble book signing. Here is everything that happens along the way.

Personalized Coaching

You don't have to figure out how to write a book on your own. You'll meet bi-weekly with your dedicated Writing Coach, who will personally guide you through our proven 27-Step Process—helping you stay focused, accountable, confident, and steadily moving toward your finished manuscript.

Editorial Package

You write. We help make your writing shine. Professional editors support you throughout the writing process, providing the feedback and expertise you need without expecting you to become an editor yourself. Once your manuscript is complete, it receives an extensive final edit to polish your message, strengthen your writing, and prepare your book for professional publication.

Writing Retreats

Your journey begins with your first in-person Writing Retreat, January 17–18, 2027, in Newport Beach, California. Together, we turn your book idea into a clear, compelling book concept. Using the HPH templates, you'll create your book blueprint, a defined message, and even write the first three chapters of your book before the retreat is over!

You'll also have the opportunity to attend two additional Writing Retreats. Both are optional—attend the ones that fit your schedule—and for each one, the location is chosen as a group: the coast in Newport Beach, California, or the mountains of Golden, Colorado. Either setting gives you dedicated time, space, and expert guidance to maintain your writing momentum and make meaningful progress on your manuscript.

Author Mastermind

You may be writing your book, but you won't be doing it alone. You'll join an exclusive Author Mastermind of no more than four authors. Lisa J hosts monthly group coaching Zoom meetings to share ideas, celebrate milestones, and support one another on the writing journey.

And you'll come together in person at your exclusive Writing Retreats—immersing yourself in your book, your message, and your vision alongside your fellow authors. These retreats, monthly group coaching sessions, and bi-weekly writing session with your writing coach gives you the focus and inspiration to make meaningful progress while deepening the relationships within your Authors Program.

You'll gain more than accountability—you'll build lifelong friendships, powerful professional connections, and a community of authors who understand exactly what it takes to bring your book to life.

Cover Design

Your book deserves a cover that looks as powerful as the message inside. Our professional designers create a compelling book cover designed to capture attention, communicate your message, and position your book professionally in the marketplace.

Amazon Author Presence

We help you look and feel like the professional author you've become. The HPH team creates your book description, author bio, and marketing copy and sets up your Amazon Author Page—building the credibility, visibility, and professional presence you need to introduce your book to the world.

Publishing + 50 Books

We handle the publishing details so you can focus on being the author. HPH manages the entire professional publishing process, including typesetting, interior design, print setup, and preparation of your book for publication.

And when your book is complete, you'll receive 50 beautiful copies of your published book to sell, sign, share, and celebrate—with additional copies available to you at author cost.

Barnes & Noble Book Signing

This is the moment you've been working toward.

After 14 months of writing, coaching, editing, designing, and publishing, you'll celebrate your accomplishment as a published author at your very own Barnes & Noble book signing.

And you won't have to arrange it yourself. HPH handles the details and sets up your Barnes & Noble book signing, so you can focus on what matters most: celebrating your accomplishment, sharing your book, and enjoying this extraordinary moment with the people who matter most.

Hold your hardcover book in your hands. See your name on the cover. Share your message with the people who matter most. And celebrate the moment when an idea that once lived only in your head becomes a real book in the world.

You didn't just write a book. You became an author.
