From Pitch Slapped to Publishing Pro: Juliet Clark’s Author Journey

How do you go from writing revenge-fueled mystery novels to coaching authors through one of the most misunderstood parts of the publishing process—marketing? Juliet Clark, founder of Author Traffic School and Superbrand Publishing, shares her personal journey from publishing her own novels like Pitch Slapped and Dead by Dawn, to helping other authors find their footing in the often murky world of platform building. In this candid and practical conversation, Juliet breaks down why writing the book is just the beginning. She opens up about the frustrations of early self-publishing, how she realized traditional models didn’t support authors or their readers, and why she created her own path to empower writers with real tools—from Author Alchemy journals to innovative book ad strategies across thousands of mobile apps. We also get into her philosophy on gratitude and manifestation, how she sees author success as a long-term journey, and why becoming a successful author also means embracing entrepreneurship. Whether you're about to publish your first book or looking to scale your author brand, Juliet’s insights are both inspiring and actionable. #AuthorMarketing #SelfPublishing #JulietClark #BookPromotion #IndieAuthors #PlatformBuilding #SuperbrandPublishing #AuthorTrafficSchool
