Hi!

I'm Laurie "LB" Best

the founder of The WPL Academy, where I help aspiring authors achieve their dreams. Many authors are surprised to meet a six-figure self-published author (all from book sales). But I’m here to tell you that if I can do it, so can you!

When I started, I had no help. I fell down a rabbit hole, trying to research every aspect of writing and self-publishing. My first book failed miserably because I didn’t understand the nuances of my genre, and no one told me how to navigate the industry. I spent countless hours sifting through advice that didn’t apply to me, and I made mistake after mistake.

That’s why I created the Author Hero Course. I’ve packaged everything I’ve learned—the hard-earned lessons, strategies, and insights that led to my success—into a program designed specifically for new authors. With clear guidance, you can cut through the noise, avoid the common pitfalls, and ensure your stories get written, published, and shared with the world.

 

Don't just take my word for it...

Jessica L.

"I encountered various vanity press companies and people trying to mislead me with hefty payment. So glad I found LB."

Kamia H.

"LB is a Godsend.I recommend it to anyone who is writing a book. Try her FIRST instead of tring to do things on your own."

What Makes Author Hero Unique...

>> This course is built on proven strategies that turned me into a six-figure author. It’s not a theoretical approach—it’s a system that delivers tangible results,

>> Many courses teach you what to do, but Author Hero also teaches what not to do. I share the hard lessons I learned the hard way—so you can avoid costly mistakes, wasted time, and endless research rabbit holes.

>> Author Hero isn’t just about writing—it’s a holistic course that integrates storytelling, professional publishing practices, and marketing strategies specifically designed for authors who want to self-publish books that sell.
