Stop Guessing. Start Building.
Real support for Texas authors who want more than random social media advice.
You do not need more noise.
You do not need more opinions from people who have never built real author infrastructure.
You need trusted guidance, practical tools, and clear next steps that help you grow as an author and sell more books.
The Texas Authors Success Center (TASC) was built for that.
As the working-lab division of the Texas Authors Museum, TASC helps Texas authors move from scattered effort to structured progress with support designed for real-world author growth. Your current page already presents TASC this way, and this rewrite sharpens that promise so the value is easier to understand quickly.
Why authors join TASC
- Because social media is full of advice, but not enough real direction
- Because visibility without strategy wastes time
- Because bad marketing information can cost authors years
- Because serious authors need more than encouragement
- Because building a writing career takes structure
What makes TASC different
- 15 years supporting Texas authors
- Built by a Texas author organization focused on long-term success
- Structured support, not guesswork
- A clear first step into the larger Texas Authors support system
Your current page already highlights these trust points, especially the 15-year support message and TASC’s role as a starting point into the larger Texas Authors system.

Your current page already includes a financial-aid note and a grant link; keeping that visible is smart because it reduces price resistance for some prospects.
Choose the Level That Fits Your Next Step
Level 1 — Free Author Membership
Best for authors who need a place to begin
This is your entry point into the Texas Authors community.
If you are not ready for a paid level yet, Level 1 gives you a simple way to get listed, get connected, and take a first step forward.
What you get
- Author listing with your photo, short bio, and website link in the museum directory

Why it matters
Level 1 helps you stop standing outside the system. It gives you a visible starting point and a connection to future opportunities.
How to join
Email your author photo and short bio to:
Secondary note
Low-income grant information is also available.
[Review Low-Income Grant Info]
Your current Level 1 offer includes a directory listing, a bio, a website link, and access to select announcements and updates, but the existing page makes the join path manual through email and currently displays the address through spam protection. This rewrite keeps the structure but makes the benefit clearer.
Level 2 — Author & Success Center Supporter — $75/year
Best for authors who want practical visibility and support
This is the right level for authors who want more than a basic listing, but are not looking for an overwhelming or expensive program.
Level 2 is about getting visible, getting connected, and getting real promotional support.
What you get
- Upgraded author listing with book covers linked to the retailer or site of your choice
- One 30-minute video interview for your media kit

Why it matters
Level 2 helps you look more professional, gives your books stronger visibility, and adds promotional assets you can actually use.
Who should choose this level
Choose Level 2 if you want:
- more than just a directory listing
- support promoting your book without hiring a full marketing team
- a stronger public author presence
- an affordable next step that still gives you real value
Your current Level 2 includes the upgraded listing, linked book covers, a 30-minute interview, quarterly social posts, complimentary books and audiobook access, and a monthly featured-book promotion. This rewrite reframes those features around one core outcome: practical visibility.
Level 3 — Authorpreneur Membership — $150/year
Best for authors ready to build momentum
Level 3 is for authors who are serious about growth and want more consistent visibility, stronger credibility, and more useful promotional support throughout the year.
This is where you move from “having a book” to building real momentum around your author brand.

Why it matters
Level 3 is built for authors who need more than occasional attention. It gives you repeat visibility, stronger positioning, and more ways to stay in front of readers.
Who should choose this level
Choose Level 3 if you:
- have at least one book already available
- want steady promotion, not one-time exposure
- want added credibility through reviews, articles, and interviews
- are actively trying to grow your audience
Your current Level 3 already bundles a magazine feature, more social promotion, a review, discounts, and year-round visibility. The problem is not the offer itself; it is that the current wording describes features more than it sells the outcome. This rewrite fixes that.
Level 4 — Elite Author Membership — $250/year
Best for authors who want premium visibility and stronger marketing support
Level 4 is your top support tier.
It is for authors who want to be taken seriously, show up more powerfully in the marketplace, and receive stronger promotional assets, better placement, and more personalized support.

Additional Access for Paid Level 4 Members
At no additional cost, Level 4 members also gain access to:
- VTAP — Verified Texas Author Program
- ReadSafe Ratings
- Texas Authors Press priority submission windows
- additional Texas Authors Magazine opportunities tied to membership level
Who should choose this level
Choose Level 4 if you:
- want premium visibility instead of basic exposure
- need stronger marketing tools you can actually use
- want personal strategy support
- are actively building your brand, releases, and long-term market position
Your current Level 4 page is the most detailed section and already includes the homepage spotlight, social campaigns, trailer, review package, event support, ad credit, consultation, discounts, networking, premium listing, and extra access to VTAP, ReadSafe Ratings, Texas Authors Press, and magazine opportunities. This rewrite keeps that structure but makes the payoff more obvious and easier to scan.
Why Join TASC?
Because authors do not fail only from lack of talent.
They fail from confusion.
They fail from wasting time.
They fail from following scattered advice with no real structure behind it.
TASC was built to change that.
We help Texas authors move:
- from confusion to clarity
- from scattered effort to structured growth
- from weak visibility to stronger positioning
- from guesswork to real next steps
You can keep collecting random opinions online.
Or you can choose support built to help you move forward with more purpose.
Your current closing section already says authors need more than encouragement and that TASC helps move them from confusion to clarity and from guesswork to guided progress. This rewrite simply makes that argument hit harder.
