Probability Hacking for Authors: AMA with Kyle Austin Young

​Kyle Austin Young, award-winning strategy consultant and contributor to Harvard Business Review and Forbes, joins Author Insider to share how nonfiction authors can improve their odds of success—on the page and in the publishing world.

​Drawing from his upcoming book, Success Is a Numbers Game: Achieve Bigger Goals by Changing the Odds (Hay House Business, 2025), Kyle introduces his framework for “probability hacking”—a system for identifying and adjusting the factors that most influence success. He’ll explain how authors can use it to make smarter creative decisions, pitch and publish more effectively, and turn small probability shifts into big career wins.
