FOR SOUL-LED HUMANS WITH A MESSAGE, STORY, OR VISION TO SHARE

**Become the Author You Know You're Meant to Be.**

Dream Book Academy is my complete soul-first, step-by-step course + community to help you write, self-publish, launch, and market your transformational nonfiction book — even if you have zero writing or marketing experience.

Based on the method behind my 6x bestselling books and multiple six-figure book sales. Perfect for soul-led nonfiction, memoir, self-help, wellness, business, and transformational books.

BECOME A PUBLISHED AUTHOR

You don’t need permission to write the book that keeps calling you.

And you definitely don’t need to spend three years overthinking the whole thing.

Maybe the idea has been sitting in your heart for a while. Maybe you’ve started writing. Maybe you’re halfway through. Or maybe the manuscript is technically “done” and you’re staring at it thinking...

Okay... now how do I turn this into an actual book?

Writing and publishing a book doesn’t have to be that hard. Seriously.

Yes, there are things to learn. Editing. Covers. Formatting. Amazon KDP. ISBNs. Keywords. Launching. Marketing. All the sexy publishing stuff.

But this whole process can also be fun.

Creative. Expressive. Playful.

You don’t need to force your story into some rigid formula, trend, or bro-marketing strategy that makes the whole thing feel like you want to poke your eyes out.

In my world, it's soul first. Strategy second. Always.

Your message. Your story. Your voice. Your vision. That comes first.

Then we use strategy to support it — to help you write the book, refine it, publish it, get it into your dream readers’ hands, and actually let it do the work you know it’s here to do.

Because the more you create from what’s actually true for you, the more magnetic your work becomes. That’s your magic.

I built my entire author career by figuring this stuff out — so you don't have to.

Hi, I’m Pia. I’m a 6× Amazon bestselling author, certified editor, publishing instructor, and book doula.

Over the last decade, I’ve generated multiple six figures from my own books, worked inside the publishing industry, taught publishing and book marketing at UBC, and helped thousands of authors bring their books into the world.

And I still think people make this way more complicated than it needs to be.

You don’t need to be the world’s greatest writer.

You don’t need a publisher to choose you.

You don’t need 50,000 Instagram followers.

You don’t need to spend a small fortune.

And you do not need to have every single step figured out before you start.

You just need to trust what you’re here to create — and have someone show you what to do next.

Without Dream Book Academy

You second-guess everything.

You disappear into Google, YouTube, AI, and seventeen contradictory opinions about what you're “supposed” to do.

You keep tweaking instead of finishing.

You spend money on things you may not even need.

Or you finally publish the damn thing... and realize nobody told you how to actually get readers.

2x Author of The Triple C Method & The Triple C Project

"Hi, I'm Pia, and self-publishing my books has changed my life."

I’m a 6x Amazon bestselling author, certified editor, book doula, and somatic energy worker based in Vancouver, BC, and over the last 10 years I’ve helped thousands of authors—from first-time writers and memoirists to coaches, healers, creatives, visionary entrepreneurs, and seven-figure business owners—turn their ideas into professionally published books.

In 2016, I went from burnt out in my VFX/animation career (working on films for Pixar and Marvel) with zero confidence, audience, or direction… to finally trusting the nudge to write my first book.

That decision changed everything.

Since then, I’ve:
❤️ become a 6x bestselling author
❤️ generated multiple six-figures in book sales
❤️ been featured in Elle, MindBodyGreen, Buzzfeed, and more
❤️ worked inside publishing companies and taught writers at the University of British Columbia
❤️ built a thriving, soul-aligned business
❤️ quit my stressful 9-5 and created a life of time and location freedom

Now I help authors do the same — creating from the soul first, then using strategy to bring the book into the world in a way that feels true to them.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Is Dream Book Academy only for nonfiction authors?"

Dream Book Academy is primarily designed for transformational nonfiction authors. Whether you're writing a self-help book, memoir, business book, personal development book, health and wellness book, or another nonfiction title, you'll find everything inside is tailored to helping you create a high-quality, professionally published book that truly serves your readers.

That said, all are welcome. Over the years, I've also worked with many poetry, journal, and children’s book authors, and while some of the writing lessons are geared toward nonfiction, much of the publishing, launch, marketing, and mindset guidance applies beautifully to those genres as well.

"What if I'm already halfway through my manuscript?"

Perfect. Dream Book Academy is designed so you can meet the roadmap wherever you are. If you've already started — or even finished — your manuscript, you don't need to begin at lesson one. Jump into the stage you need now, whether that's self-editing, publishing, launch, or marketing, and use the earlier curriculum whenever you need additional support with your book's foundation.

"What if I don't have much time?"

Life is busy, and I completely understand that. That's why Dream Book Academy is entirely self-paced. You'll have lifetime access (for as long as Dream Book Academy exists), so you can move through the program at a pace that works for your life without feeling rushed.

"What if I want to traditionally publish?"

Of course, that decision is completely yours. Personally, after working inside publishing companies and helping thousands of authors, I'd choose self-publishing every time because it gives you full creative control, higher royalties, and the freedom to bring your book into the world on your own timeline. I've also met many traditionally published authors who wished they'd understood all of their options before signing a contract.

"What if I haven't started writing yet?"

You can absolutely start DBA from the beginning. If you're still figuring out what your book is about, however, I recommend beginning with the Bestselling Book Compass first.

"Does Dream Book Academy teach marketing too?"

Absolutely. In fact, that's one of the biggest reasons I created it. Writing your book is only part of the journey. Inside, you'll learn how to publish, launch, and market your book in a way that feels authentic, purposeful, and aligned with your vision — without resorting to pushy or inauthentic marketing tactics. It’s your entire author ecosystem in one place.

"Can I ask you questions?"

Yes—and that's one of my favorite parts of the program!! I'm personally inside our private Facebook community answering questions, offering guidance, celebrating wins, and helping you work through the moments where you feel stuck. You won't be left to figure things out on your own.

"Do I need writing experience, a marketing background, or a big audience?"

Not at all. Many of my students start with nothing more than an idea and a desire to share it. I'll teach you everything you need to know along the way.

"How much does it cost to publish a book?"

The great thing about self-publishing is that you're in control. You can publish your book for free using a DIY approach or invest in professional services to create a polished, bookstore-quality book. Inside Dream Book Academy, I'll show you where it's worth spending money, where you can save, and give you access to my vetted roster of trusted publishing professionals whenever you're ready.

Or maybe its greatest accomplishment is simply this:

The book you knew you were meant to write exists in the world.

A year from now, you can still be thinking about your book.
