Next Level Authors' & Writers' Mastermind: On the Sea

The Next Level Authors' & Writers' Mastermind

Your book was never the finish line.

A private, in-person mastermind for authors ready to become the brand, the story, and the strategy the industry can't ignore — four nights at sea, February 22–26, 2027.

Fewer than 20 seats. Aboard Royal Caribbean.

You didn't build a book. You built a body of work. So why does it still feel like you're doing this alone?

You've done what most people only talk about. You wrote the book. You published it. You have the reviews, the reader messages, the proof that your words move people.

And still — the growth has plateaued. The next deal hasn't materialized. The people who should be your peers are still strangers, scattered across timelines you don't have time to scroll. You're the smartest person in your own inbox, making six-figure decisions with no one in the room to pressure-test them.

Somewhere, a copy of your book is collecting dust on a shelf it deserves to be optioned off of.

Now imagine the version of your career backed by a room full of people who are already where you're trying to go.

Where your next chapter isn't just written — it's produced. Where "I have an idea for a film adaptation" is met with a producer's phone number, not a Google search. Where your brand has the visibility of an award-winning author, because you're finally standing next to award-winning authors.

This is what happens when ambition meets proximity. When strategy meets community. When the water is the only thing that's quiet.

The core philosophy

We didn't build a course. We built a room.

Courses teach information. Masterminds transform trajectories. You don't have an information problem. You have a proximity problem — to the strategy, the connections, and the caliber of thinking that turns a good book into a franchise, a name into an institution, a writer into an industry.

You can't Google your way into the right room. You have to be in it. This is that room.

Four pillars. One transformation.

Elite Strategy

The rooms most authors never get invited into

Sit shoulder-to-shoulder with award-winning authors in live, in-person strategy sessions built around one goal: positioning you as a high-visibility, award-worthy author in your category. Includes The Chosen Framework — simple, effective marketing strategy built for authors, not marketers.

Beyond the Book

Where your story goes next

Your story doesn't have to stay on the page. Get a one-hour consultation with a film producer from Dream Empire Films to explore adaptation opportunities, plus guided next-level conversations on turning your book into stage, screen, and sound.

Your Brand, Amplified

Visibility most authors chase for years

Leave with assets most authors spend years and thousands of dollars chasing: a featured placement in Conversation Magazine, an Amazon Live interview, and a full month of PR and marketing service.

The Room Itself

Four nights, one caliber of company

Four nights aboard Royal Caribbean with a small, curated group of serious authors and writers. No panels of hundreds. No hallway small talk. Just real conversations, real connections, and the kind of peer accountability that changes what you believe is possible for your career.

  • In-Person Live Sessions with Award-Winning Authors
  • Port to Purpose International Opportunity

This room is small on purpose.

This is for you if

  • You've already written and published — this isn't where you start, it's where you scale
  • You're a fiction or non-fiction author ready to think bigger than your next book launch
  • You want real strategy and real relationships, not another course sitting unfinished
  • You're willing to invest in yourself at the level you want your career to reach
  • You show up ready to contribute to the room, not just consume from it

This is not for you if

  • You're looking for a shortcut, a hack, or a magic pill for sales
  • You're not open to feedback, collaboration, or being challenged
  • You want a passive retreat with no strategic work involved
  • Ego is louder than ambition

The room is small. The water doesn't wait.

Fewer than 20 seats are available for Port to Purpose — February 22–26, 2027, aboard Royal Caribbean. This isn't for every author. It's for the ones ready to stop building alone.
