Join James Van Praagh and You’ll Be on Your
Way to Becoming a Published Author
Decades ago, a well-known medium told me that my destiny was to raise the consciousness of the planet by sharing evidence of the afterlife.
My groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestseller, hailed as a “miracle of the publishing world”, was my first step in fulfilling that destiny, touching millions of lives and proving that the spirit world is only a thought away. And that first book, Talking to Heaven, was just the beginning.
Today, I’ve written and published 14 books in over 100 languages worldwide, making me one of the most widely read spiritual teachers of our time.
For over 30 years, I’ve been a pioneer in the field of mediumship, bringing messages of love and healing to audiences across the globe. My career has included collaborations with international leaders, spiritual icons, and beloved entertainers like Cher, Goldie Hawn, Shirley MacLaine, Ellen DeGeneres, Joan Rivers, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and more.
My work has reached millions through appearances on shows like Oprah, Dr. Phil, Larry King Live, The View, and The Today Show.
Now, through my course, Awaken the Writer Within, I’m bringing together my deep spiritual wisdom and publishing expertise to help you write the book that’s been waiting inside you and share it with the world.
Every book you feel called to write is already alive within you, waiting for you to give it form. Your story matters, and the world is ready to receive it.
