Most aspiring authors are asking the same questions.

  • What kind of book should I write?
  • Is my idea strong enough?
  • What publishing path makes the most sense?
  • How does my book connect to my brand?
  • How do I market my book?
  • What do I need to do now so this book helps my business later? 

THAT IS WHERE THIS BOOK COMES IN

A clear path for aspiring nonfiction authors.

At the center of Trust Me, I'm an Author are three kinds of trust every author needs to build:

  • Trust in yourself — creates the confidence to keep going
  • Trust in your team — builds the momentum to produce your best work
  • Trust with your audience — generates the impact that makes the book matter

 

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

  • Get clear on the book you should write and why it matters
  • Choose a publishing path that fits your goals, timeline, and resources
  • Build the right support around your book
  • Connect your book to your brand so it works long after it's published
  • Earn trust with the audience you want to reach — before, during, and after the launch.

Praise for Trust Me, I'm an Author

 "In Trust Me, I’m an Author, he brings clarity, confidence, and credibility to the often-overwhelming world of writing and publishing. More than a guide to getting a book done, it is a practical roadmap for building trust with yourself, your team, and your audience." 

- Stephen M. R. Covey
The New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust and Trust & Inspire.

 "If you’ve ever felt called to write a book but didn’t know where to start, Trust Me, I’m an Author is the guide you’ve been waiting for. Zach’s voice is honest, encouraging, and deeply practical, reminding every reader that their story matters." 

- Denise M. Thomas
The Effective Communication Coach and Author of The Only One in the Room

 "Zach Kristensen has written a clear, practical guide for anyone serious about becoming an author. Trust Me, I’m an Author gives readers the roadmap to build a book, a brand, and lasting credibility. A smart, valuable resource for aspiring authors everywhere.." 

- Scott Jeffrey Miller
Founder and Owner, The Gray + Miller Agency, and Co-Founder of Maison Vero

 "I work with authors for a living, and many follow the wrong instinct: they lead with their framework, and the reader never gets to inhabit the problem. Zach Kristensen does the opposite in Trust Me, I'm an Author." 

- Platte Clark
Author of Author Unknown: Why Some Stories Change People and Most Don't

 "As a researcher, I look for two things in any book that claims to help people: rigor and lived experience. Trust Me, I'm an Author has both. Zach grounds his Author Trust Framework in genuine cognitive and behavioral science, then layers on insights from more than a decade of working with over a hundred authors—including me." 

- Jill Schulman
Best-Selling Author of The Bravery Effect, Keynote Speaker, USMC Veteran

 "Zach has put into words what many authors only learn through trial and error. If you’re serious about becoming an author, this book gives you a clear and practical path forward." 

- Todd Musig
Co-Author of Juggling Elephants and 5 Simple Habits for Successful Change
