Beyond the Book

Beyond the Book by Michael Evans is a 100-idea toolkit for indie fiction authors who want to build businesses around their stories — not just sell books. Through examples like a $3M/year horror letter subscription and a viral bookish cocktail brand, Evans shows how treating your fictional world as a launchpad for products, communities, films, and experiences can transform a modest author income into a lasting creative empire.

Why the Smartest Authors Don't Rely on Book Sales

Michael walks through 25 of his 100 ideas for authors who want to make money beyond just selling books. Drawing from his time at Mr. Beast and his CreatorWood platform, he covers things like Kickstarters, merch, fan communities, AI movies, and story letters. He also stresses the importance of knowing your audience before spending a dime on marketing — and wraps up with a fun live Q&A helping an attendee with their book marketing.
