The Luminary Author Mentorship
For those who know this author life is just part of their greater impact and purpose and no longer want to play small.
The program for authors desiring to make the most inspiring impact with their story, message, book, & life.
The power of collaboration and energy of a small group of impact-driven peers led by the experience and success of innovative authors paving life-changing journeys and making a living doing what they love the most: writing and sharing their stories.
When you know your book can be more than just a book, you want to do everything "right" to make it successful. But the journey to get there contains many steps and options, and sometimes it feels impossible for one person to know how to do everything perfectly—especially if it's your first time.
The Luminary Author Mentorship was designed for the authors and aspiring authors who know their message and story goes deeper than just a book–it's part of their purpose here in this world. They want to write as much as they want to take action, lifting their mission to a new level to inspire and empower as many people as possible.
As a Luminary, you'll join a creatively-inspired space to write, receive feedback on your writing, learn about publishing tactics that achieve success, gain insights on strategies to connect with your audience, and turn your passion into profit. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. You'll be more confident in each decision you make, trusting you are gearing up to make the impact you've dreamt of, and being presented with innovative solutions and exciting, new possibilities in your author path that never crossed your mind before.
Many authors will spend hours falling into rabbit holes of research, attempting to mirror the results of other authors that post their wins in Facebook groups, or losing money in trial and error methods that won't work for them. (We've been there!) Every author path is different, and there is not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Besides, you didn't start writing to have to worry about the hidden components that compose successful authors; you wrote because you had a story to share with the world, and you knew it was time. (It is time!)
In the Luminary Author Mentorship program, you have your very own team of book mentors who truly care about you and your book's success to help you every step of the way. Pair that with a supportive and encouraging small group brainstorming and collaborating with you throughout the program, and you will feel unstoppable as you progress toward your goals. Authors in the Luminary Mentorship can rest assured knowing every moment they spend with their book is productive and impactful, so they can do it right the first time, enjoy the ride, and the fruits of their work.
If you are seriously committed to making a difference in this world through your book and want to protect your energy so you can focus on what you love doing the most, this program is for you. Our goal is to simply make it easier by providing the support and guidance you need as you launch this incredible venture and chase your dreams.

“Lauren Eckhardt and Burning Soul Press made the journey of writing my memoir possible. She is a wonderful coach and encourager. The hundreds of hours we’ve spent crying and laughing together over the past year will always be some of my favorite memories.”
-Gina Defa, Best-Selling Author of "The Parakeet Drawing"
“I’ve never felt so supported and taken care of in going all in chasing my dreams. Every single member of the Burning Soul Press team has made an impact. I want to thank Burning Soul Press for the support in helping me find avenues to reach out with this message. I appreciate you all very much.”
-Jennifer Hobbs, #1 Best Selling Author of "Calmed."
"As I look back I see so much I would never have thought of doing, and so much I would not have known how to do, were I publishing this book independently. I am extremely grateful that Lauren Eckhardt came into my life when and as she did, and helped me to feel the confidence that I could and should share this book with others. When a publisher can be businesslike and still leave no doubt that you are also a friend, you know you are in the right place. And I have been floored by the advocacy and support I have received from each one of Lauren's team. To everyone who contributed to this launch, my thanks."
-Marcia Nathai-Balkissoon, Author of "Lighting the Path"

Lauren's editing skills and one on one coaching conversations have been nothing short of amazing. She helped me to develop my book in ways that I hadn't even considered - her guidance and input were invaluable. Our conversations were gloriously 75% randomness, 10% sarcasm, and 15% about my book, and yet she still managed to show me a whole new outlook. Lauren has become like family to me, so she is stuck with me lol. I'm so grateful for the help she has given me with my book. Thank you Lauren - you are truly amazing!
