So You Want to Write a Book

Your book is needed.

If a book has been stirring in you for years, it isn't an accident. Somewhere there's a reader who needs exactly what you carry: the hope in your story, the help in your message, the courage in what you've lived through. Every year it stays in your head is another year they go without it.

Most people who never finish a book aren't stopped by a lack of talent or time. They're stopped because they never quite believed the book was needed. This morning starts there. Then we give you the plan, the tools and the honest numbers to get it out of your head and onto the page, where it can start doing what it was meant to do.

How the morning runs

• Why your book matters. Who is waiting for your book, and what changes for them when they read it.
• What you need to know. The road from idea to readers' hands; three keys to writing that holds a reader; your publishing paths, honestly compared; and what it really costs and how long it really takes.
• Building your plan. With help at your elbow: your book in one sentence, where it stands, your opening line rewritten, your path, budget and timeline, and three dated next steps.
• Getting past what's stopped you. Time, fear, "who am I to write this": we name your roadblock and answer it.

Our promise to you

If you don't leave with your book underway and a clear road to finish it, we'll refund your $27. And if you later hire us for any service within 90 days, your $27 comes off the price.
