Hello! I’m John David Mann,
I’ve written and published over 30 books, both fiction and nonfiction, from thrillers and parables to memoirs and business books. My books have sold over 3 million copies in 38 languages and won multiple awards, including two Axiom awards, a Nautilus award, an Innovation Award from Taiwan, a Living Now Evergreen Medal for “positive global impact,” and a Barry nomination. Four of my titles have been New York Times bestsellers, and five others have hit other national bestseller lists, such as USA Today, Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, LA Times, Publishers Weekly, and the American Booksellers Association.
But here’s the thing: I never went to college. I have no degrees. As a writer, I’m mostly self-taught. I didn’t start out a New York Times bestselling author. I became one over decades of learning the hard way, through trial and error. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, suffered setbacks and heartaches.
I did all that so you don’t have to.
In this program, I’ll cut years off your learning curve.
I started Writing Mastery Mentorship for two reasons. The first, speaking frankly, is selfish. I’ve noticed that the more I teach and mentor, the more I learn. Which means, when I help you become a better writer, it makes me a better writer, too.
And the second reason? I have this fundamental belief that the world needs your book. Everyone’s life experience is different, so everyone’s perspective is unique. Nobody can write what you write. Nobody.
But simply getting your book written and pushed through the publishing pipeline is not enough. Because I’ve seen too many books (especially self-published books) start out with fantastic ideas, but arrive at the marketplace without having first been finished to anywhere near their full potential. And here’s the saddest part: Most of those books sink without a ripple. It’s as if they never even existed.
That’s a tragedy — and I don’t want it to happen to you.
To have maximum impact, to make its true mark on the world, your book needs to be as powerful, as authentic, as masterful as it can possibly be.
That’s why I created Writing Mastery Mentorship.
