You want to become a

published romance author …

but how?

I understand that publishing can feel intimidating, especially when you’re unsure who to trust.

Seeing talented writers overwhelmed by conflicting advice and fear of making mistakes is a real sore spot for me. It’s enough to make anyone feel like they’ll never be ready.

My mission? To help you feel informed and confident and get you to the place where you’re ready to share your work with readers who’ll love it.

If having a community of peers or an

indie publishing mentor appeals to you …

I’m Danika, your indie romance publishing mentor

I’ve supported hundreds of authors achieve their writing and publishing goals since 2018 when I co-founded a community that’s grown to over 2,500 author members. In August 2022, I decided to focus on working with the authors I most love supporting—indie romance authors, like myself. That’s when Author Ever After came to be and where I coach romance writers like you to become published authors.

here’s what I know

Success usually comes down to these four things: 

⭐️ Being with your people—romance lovers who respect the genre.

⭐️ Having accountability and buddies to encourage you when you’re second-guessing yourself.

⭐️ Having a tried-and-true publishing plan to keep you from getting lost and wasting time or money.

⭐️ Embracing a growth mindset and believing that you can do this thing called being an author!

If you’re ready to put your love story into reader’s hands, welcome! You’re exactly where you need to be.

Traditional coaching tends to focus on changing behavior, environment, and developing skills. But real transformation, which is often needed to move from years of working on your book to becoming a published romance author, requires a different level of support.

That’s why I invested in learning a coaching methodology designed specifically to support women to adopt a growth mindset, step into visibility, and unlock greater creativity.

more nice things authors say about working with me

“When I first joined Author Ever After I was flying in blind with only a first draft in hand and a pipe dream to publish. Now, after being a part of Danika’s community and learning all I can, I’ve taken her tools and worked each step to launching my first novel that hit #125 in small-town romance on Amazon within 24 hours of release!

“For a debut indie author with not a clue how to launch a book on my own a year ago, I can only attribute that success to this amazing community! Every penny, every hour spent here, has been worth it. I now have five releases planned for the coming year. I can’t thank Danika and the lovely members of AEA enough for their support, knowledge, and accountability toward my goal that was once a dream, and is now a reality.”
