Get help to write your book.
Do you have a book in you?
That idea's been rattling around in your head for months or years. You've jotted notes, dreamed scenarios, perhaps even written a few pages, but it just never seems to go anywhere further. It’s always stuck being an idea. A ‘one day’ thing.
Ultimately, there’s the worm of self-doubt that is asking for some external perspective on the big question: do you really have a book in you?
Spoiler alert: You probably do. But knowing it's there, figuring out the structure, and getting it onto the page are very different things.
Over six weeks, I'll help you answer that question and set you up with everything you need to move forward confidently.
No more staring at blank pages wondering where to start. No more questioning if your idea has legs. Just clarity, direction, and a solid roadmap to make it happen.
Workshop:
Find your book
Is this you?
You're a professional, very experienced and skilled at what you do.
You have knowledge, but you also have wisdom that you have gained over many years doing what you do, not only very well and very professionally, but in a very unique way.
You have experience in life that shapes how you view your career, your profession, and the advice you give others.
You have something to say, you just need a little help figuring out how to say it, how to package it, and how to turn it into a book.
How?
There will be a maximum of six selected members. It's a small group workshop with one-to-one sessions combined with group coaching.
This is a high calibre, six-week intensive for aspiring authors. No bullshit. No time wasting. Just quality structures that are proven to work and outcomes that ensure progress.
If you’re motivated and commit, you will be well on the road to writing and completing your manuscript. Meander your way through the six weeks and you will end up right back where you started.
Your choice.
