Founders is an accessible community membership for indie authors who want peer support and structured learning. Unlike the Mastermind, Founders is open to authors at any stage and focuses on foundational business skills, accountability, and community connection. Members get monthly group calls, resource libraries, and a private community space.

What You Get

Social Media Scheduler — Included

A full subscription to authorautomations.social — our social media scheduling platform that posts to Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, TikTok, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and Bluesky from one dashboard. Normally $299/year. Yours as a founding member? Included.

Monthly Webinars — Included

Each month we host a deep-dive webinar on topics like Claude Code for Non-Developers, WordPress Updates with AI, Airtable for Authors, and more from Indie Author Training. These are $39 each for everyone else — founding members attend free. That’s $468/year in webinars alone on a $210 membership.

Weekly Tuesday Calls

Live automation calls with Chelle every Tuesday at 10 AM Central. Bring your questions, get real-time answers, and learn from what other members are building. Every call is recorded so you never miss a thing — watch the replays anytime in the Hub.

Full Hub Access

Complete access to the Author Automations Hub — tutorials, templates, workflow recipes, and a growing library of automation resources built for authors.

$150 Off Custom-Built Automations & Apps

Need something built for you? Founding members get $150 off any custom automation or app from our Done-For-You services. Your membership pays for itself the first time you use it.

Founding Member Pricing — Locked In

Your early support earns you permanent insider pricing on everything we launch — including StorytellerOS, intensives, courses, and Mastermind upgrades. This pricing is exclusive to founding members and won’t be available later.

Early Access to New Content

Get first look at new tutorials, templates, and resources before they go public. Founding members always see it first.

Quarterly Insider Updates

A behind-the-scenes look at what’s coming next for Author Automations — new tools, new content, new features. You’ll know what’s in the pipeline before anyone else.

Prompt & Template Library

Access a growing collection of tested prompts and workflow templates in the Hub — for newsletters, social media, marketing copy, and more. Grab them, tweak them for your voice, and put them to work.

Community Support

Connect with other authors who are actively building automations. Share wins, troubleshoot issues, and learn from each other between calls.
