Welcome to our World!
Together We Can Awaken Possibilities, One Book at a Time

If you feel that will resonate with your community members, then we invite you to review this page to find the programs, courses, events, and gifts you can share with them. Choose whichever ones that resonate — one quick registration form covers them all.

Who We Are and Who We Serve

Bridging Spirituality and Practicality.

The Awakening Author was founded by Susan Crossman, a traditionally published author of five fiction and non-fiction books who works as an author coach and editor for mission-oriented coaches, healers, and entrepreneurs. Susan is a winner of the prestigious Gold Award for Literature from the Women Changing the World organization and although she and her team have a highly professional background, they view every book as an act of sacred stewardship.

We create an environment where profound reflection meets genuine craft and respect for excellence embraces divine guidance. Our ideal clients include people who:

  • Live and work in the realm of personal or spiritual evolution
  • Feel called to write a book of deep transformational change — a legacy, not just a lead magnet or a calling card
  • Carry truths they embody but have not yet fully articulated
  • Seek a guide who honours both soul and craft, from first insight to final edit

To support transformational leaders in their evolution to greater visibility as authors — so together we can create greater peace on Earth.

Our Mission · The Awakening Author

Stewardship in Practice

We Care About Community

We recognize that the trust you've built with your community has likely taken years of tending — so every person you send our way is received with an authentic commitment to excellence and support, and we honour the transfer of trust your referrals represent.

A traditional publisher's verdict: manuscripts that come through Susan arrive so well structured and polished they're virtually guaranteed publication.

Michael Davie · Publisher & CEO, Manor House Publishing

"I am so glad to have found Susan for my book project ... She supported my ideas and my vision throughout the whole writing process and encouraged me every step of the way. It's through her questioning and discerning that shaped my book into what it is. She is thorough and diligent in her work and I really appreciated that."

Meena Puri · Author, Healing Your Relationship to Food: The Ayurveda Answer

She has offered me incredible insight and good counsel at critical points. I encourage anyone who is feeling overwhelmed in their journey or in their creative process to work with Susan.

Affiliate FAQs

Questions New Affiliates Ask Us

Commissions on our programs are paid automatically via PayPal approximately 30 days after each sale — the waiting period simply allows any refunds to clear first. Each program's card above shows its specific commission amount.

Absolutely — many of our partners do. Just tick every program you'd like in the registration form and you'll receive a personal referral link and materials for each one.

Not typically, since they're free for your community — but commission arrangements can be made, and gifts are a wonderful way to introduce your audience to Susan's work before sharing the paid programs. They're evergreen, so you can share them anytime.

Our promotional window for our events is typically three weeks ahead of an event but we recognize you might need some "wiggle room" to make sure you can fit us into your mailing schedule. We can chat about that!

Yes! We actively look for aligned speakers for the Conscious Leader's Book Writing Summit, and guest hosts join our Build-a-Book Community Events on an affiliate basis. Email us or raise it on a follow-up call — we love collaborations that go beyond links.

We bridge spirituality and practicality. A transformational book isn't written to transfer information — it's written to transform consciousness: first in the author, then in the reader. So we pair disciplined reflection with real craft, we resist shortcuts, and we help authors name truths they understand but haven't yet fully articulated. Feel free to borrow this language in your own promotions — it's the heart of what your community will experience.

The same way we care for all our clients and partners: sincerely, professionally, and personally. Everyone you send us is welcomed into a supportive and compassionate community and will be guided with one eye on excellence and the other on spiritual alignment. We treat your trust as sacred.

Email [email protected] anytime, or book a follow-up call with Susan. We're a small, warm team and we answer personally.
