			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you weren&#8217;t able to make it to the Authors University teleclass, no worries! We&#8217;ve put together the recordings for you here.</p>
<p>During the teleclass, John covered his top tips and recommendations in EACH of the three main phases of becoming a successful published author:</p>
<ol>
<li>Writing Your Book</li>
<li>Publishing Your Book</li>
<li>Promoting &amp; Marketing Your Book</li>
</ol>
<p>He also covered the specifics of Authors University: how it will work, exactly what is included with your Authors University membership, and how you can get started.</p>
<p>For your convenience, we&#8217;ve broken the audio recording into two parts:</p>
<ol>
<li>Teleclass Content</li>
<li>Authors University Options Overview, followed by Q&amp;A</li>
</ol>
<p>You can listen to the teleclass below right now.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://authorsuniversity.com/options.html" target="_blank">Also, if you&#8217;re ready to become a member of Authors University, CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED.</a></strong></p>
<h4>Important:</h4>
<p>Note that Authors University is only opening for a <strong>LIMITED TIME</strong> during this first phase. John is adamant about ensuring that our initial members are 100% taken care of before we accept anyone new. For that reason, <strong>we will only be able to accept members from now until Midnight Eastern Time on Saturday the 29th of August</strong>.</p>
<p>After that date, we will open again at some point in the future, but it is possible that we won&#8217;t be offering the Gold or Platinum memberships in the same format, or the Silver Charter Member pricing.</p>
<p>So, if you dream of becoming a successful author and believe you can benefit from the rich training offered within Authors University, then <strong><a href="http://authorsuniversity.com/options.html" target="_blank">Become A Member Today</a></strong>. <em>(60 Day Money-Back Guarantee if for any reason you are not satisfied with your membership.)</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-543" style="margin: 10px;" title="john-harricharan-speaking" src="http://authorsuniversity.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/john-harricharan-speaking1.jpg" alt="john-harricharan-speaking" width="234" height="331" />Hello there! I hope that this message finds you well.</p>
<p>Personally, I could not be doing better.</p>
<p>You see, I am more excited than I’ve been in a good, long while about a project that I’ve been working on over the past few months – a project that is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>FINALLY</strong></span> almost completed.</p>
<p><span id="more-532"></span></p>
<p>I’ll get to that in a minute, but first I need to back up a step or two to explain WHY this project has me so worked up.</p>
<p>You may have heard me say before that I believe that&#8230;</p>
<h4>&#8220;Becoming a successful author is one of the most transformative, life-changing things a person can do.&#8221;</h4>
<p>Well, you might not know this, but for nearly the past decade, I have been offering a course to aspiring authors, showing them how to get their books written, published, and effectively promoted.</p>
<p>Teaching this course has truly been one of the highlights of my career, as I’ve had the privilege of taking <strong>HUNDREDS</strong> of students through my course.</p>
<p>I’ve been able to help guide them through the confusing options and contradictory advice of the publishing industry, and have seen <strong>MANY</strong> of them attain wonderful success.</p>
<p>Seeing many of my students complete their books and achieve this kind of success in their lives has been <strong>HUMBLING</strong>, to say the least.</p>
<h4>But in spite of the wonderful successes that I’ve seen my students have, there IS a part of me that has been troubled about my course these past years…</h4>
<p>You see, my book writing and publishing course was offered at various times for <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500 US Dollars.</span></strong></p>
<p><em>(Frankly, because of how the course was structured and the amount of personal time and involvement it required from me, I couldn’t offer it for less than that.)</em></p>
<p>While the information in the course was <strong>WELL</strong> worth what my past students have invested, I have been troubled that I could not offer the course to a wider audience, and at a price that more people could afford.</p>
<p>I <strong>KNEW</strong> that if I could get the information in my course out to a larger number of people, then I could help not just hundreds, but <strong>THOUSANDS</strong> of people farther along the path to becoming successful authors.</p>
<h4>And that brings me back to my project…</h4>
<p>You might have already figured out that something <strong>VERY</strong> significant is coming to this very website – Authors University.</p>
<p>I’ve been working for months now on a unique way to share my expertise and knowledge of book writing, publishing, and promotion with you.</p>
<p>I don’t have time right now to go into detail on everything that Authors University is going to include, but I CAN tell you this:</p>
<p>Authors University is going to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>take you by the hand</strong></span> and guide you step-by-step <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>from wherever you are right now to becoming extremely successful as a published author</strong></span>.</p>
<h4>Can I Ask A Quick Favor Of You?</h4>
<p>As I put the finishing touches on the course, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>I have a favor to ask of you</em></span>.</p>
<p>I want this course to be as valuable as possible to <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>YOU</strong></span>, and to make sure that it answers your most important questions.</p>
<p>To be sure that it does, I would like for you to give me a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>brief</strong></span> answer to the following two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li>In which one of the following areas do you have the most questions about becoming a successful published author: Writing, Publishing, or Book Promotion?</li>
<li> What are your two biggest questions about that part of becoming an author?</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Please post your answers to these two questions below</strong></span>, and I will be sure to take <em>every question </em>into consideration as I complete all of the plans for the new course.</p>
<p><em>I know that many of you have also been posting comments and questions on other parts of the site. </em><em>Rest assured that I am reading every question and even though I may not be able to individually respond to each one, I will be addressing all questions as Authors University officially kicks off.</em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br />
</span><br />
Thank you in advance for your comments and questions, as <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>I’m confident that they will help Authors University to become the #1 most useful course on becoming a successful, published author</strong></span>.</p>
<p>Keep your eyes open for more information on the opening of Authors University in the next two weeks!</p>
<p>Best Wishes,</p>
<p>John Harricharan</p>

<p>I get a lot of questions from people about how exactly I was able to get my own books published and on the best-seller lists.</p>
<p>Many assume that there’s some kind of “magic” involved, or that I had to start with something special in order to achieve the success I’ve been fortunate enough to have.</p>
<p>Well, I’ve actually got a bit of a confession to make here&#8230;</p>
<p>The truth is that, in spite of all the success I&#8217;ve had, back in my college days as a physics and chemistry major, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>I got a “D” in Creative Writing 361!</strong></span></p>
<p>On top of THAT, my professor told me that I should stick with physics and chemistry and for the sake of humanity I should NEVER write again…</p>
<p>This presentation I did many years ago tells the rest of the story.</p>
<p>In sharing this with you, I hope that you will see that no matter where you’re at right now in the process of becoming an author, YOU CAN DO THIS!</p>
<p>Don’t ever let anyone, including yourself, tell you otherwise…</p>
<p>I’m here to help you see it through.</p>
<p>Will be in touch again soon,</p>
<p>John</p>
<p><strong>P.S. – There’s also a bigger life-lesson in this story that I hope you can pick up on as well. Watch for it and post any comments that you have down below.</strong></p>
