Introducing Author Insider: A New Community and Learning Platform for Writers
Accelerate your writing career with strategies from the world's leading thinkers.
Do you have a big idea that the world needs to hear? Whether you're just starting to put pen to paper or already have a few bestsellers under your belt, you probably know that breaking through the noise these days takes more than great ideas—it requires creativity, strategy, and entrepreneurial savvy. Should you launch a newsletter? Start a podcast? Find an agent? Self-publish? What’s your social media strategy?

Daniel Pink on adapting to our rapidly changing media landscape
Susan Cain on building thriving communities on Substack
Steven Johnson on how to use AI to write more efficiently
Mark Fortier on what it takes to successfully launch a book in 2025

Rufus and the Next Big Idea Team
It strikes me that business and writing have converged in interesting ways in recent years. Every successful writer is today an entrepreneur, engaged in marketing, subscription funnels, and direct marketing. Meanwhile, most successful business people aspire to become thought leaders, sharing their learnings and growing their personal brand. So writing leads to business ... business leads to writing :)
