“Working with Tracie was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in my work and my calling. Not only did she equip me for the project I was working on at the time, she was intentional to offer wise counsel for my writing career as a whole. Having Tracie on your team is a game changer for your writing goals and career!”
— Rachel S.
You have a message burning in your heart.
But you don’t know how to turn it into a career.
You've been feeling the nudge to write for months—maybe even years. You know God has given you experiences, insights, and wisdom that could help others. You can picture your book on shelves, imagine the emails from readers whose lives were changed by your words.
Yet here’s what keeps you stuck:
- You're not sure if you're "writer material" or if your story really matters
- You don't know where to start or how to structure a book-length manuscript
- The publishing world feels like a mysterious, impossible maze
- You've heard that most authors barely make any money from their books
- You're tired of piecing together random advice from free blog posts and YouTube videos
- You're bombarded by ads from countless writing coaches and courses telling you they can help you write a book in record time, but you don't know who to trust and no one is giving you a roadmap to building a long-term career.
What if we told you there’s a better way?
Introducing...
AuthorRise Academy
The complete training program for Christian authors who want to build a career, not just a hobby
This isn’t just a writing course. It’s a launchpad. You’ll leave with a clear, strategic roadmap to complete, publish, and monetize your book.

Hi, we’re Becky Kopitzke and Tracie Miles—and we've been exactly where you are.
Becky is a traditionally published author of multiple books in the Christian living genre who has built a thriving online business that supports her family.

Becky is passionate about helping women earn an income from their creative work.
Tracie is a traditionally published author of eight books, and a popular author coach who has led many authors from book dream to book deal. She is also a literary agent helping aspiring authors achieve their writing dreams, and spent nearly nine years training thousands of writers as Director of COMPEL Pro Writer's Training at Proverbs 31 Ministries. Tracie knows exactly what publishers are looking for—and what mistakes to avoid.

“This program was the best investment of time and money I have made in my business since I started in 2012. I have participated in several coaching programs, but none have helped my business thrive like the coaching from Becky. I tripled my business profit in 3 months after finishing the program. My e-mail marketing went from little to none to learning how to make an effective nurture sequence to drive engagement and sales. I cannot recommend Becky’s practical help enough!!
