I can help you break through these creative challenges with:<\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019ve helped many dozens of published authors one-on-one and through my book writing courses. My hallmarks are helping you:<\/p>\n So, here’s my method, step-by-step for writing a meaningful, impactful nonfiction book:<\/p>\n Once you’ve worked through most of the exercises in Quick Start, you’ll likely have a clearer book concept including the vision, goals, readership, features, tone, content and structure of the book. Wow! That’s HUGE\u2014and it will save you so much time later, eliminating the false starts that plague many new writers.<\/p>\n Note that the Quick Start self-study program is included in the Book Concept Consultation, so if you know you want a Book Concept Consultation, just skip to step 2!<\/p>\n 2. You may still have some questions about your book concept and structure.<\/strong>\u00a0At this point, many choose to have a Book Concept Consultation<\/strong><\/a> with me or one of my talented and experienced colleagues. In your book concept consultation, you’ll get to test your ideas with an experienced professional to confirm that it’s marketable, likely to meet your vision and goals and likely to resonate deeply with your readers. We’ll help you make sure it’s fresh and relevant.<\/p>\n In addition to being experts in the publishing industry, my colleagues and I tend to be good at helping you tap into your best creativity and we can also come up with creative ideas for you. It was in this type of consultation that the title “The Creativity Cure”<\/em> was born and we determined a large, hungry market for client Carrie Barron’s worthy book that got a 6-figure advance with a top publisher, Scribner.<\/p>\n If you’re struggling with more than one book idea, your consultation will also help you clarify which one to write first! We can guide you to:<\/p>\n *\u00a0 Build your following as an author (critical for traditional publishing)<\/p>\n *\u00a0 Choose the publishing option that would be optimal for your particular book and goals<\/p>\n *\u00a0 Develop ways to monetize your book and create the lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of.<\/p>\n And during the consultation, we’ll put together a list of questions you’re grappling with, such as:<\/p>\n In the last part of our consultation, I can lead you in a guided visualization to connect with your “inner muse” and get clarity on those questions from your own inner wisdom and creative source.<\/p>\n a) If you’re clear on the outline and know where you’re going, you may want to join me for Get Your Writing Done<\/a> membership – four 2-hour workshops each month to access a state of inspiration and creative flow and get some writing done right on the call. If you need a little push to make sure you write, this could be it.<\/p>\n b) Here’s where many people get really stuck, they need a bit more structure to complete a book. I’ve developed a step-by-step 8 week structure for getting your first draft written quickly and easily\u2014and it’s all in my home-study course\u00a0 Inspiration to Author in 8 Weeks Self-Study Program<\/a><\/strong>. So, if you’re the type who just needs some guidance and you’re off, Inspiration to Author in 8 Weeks<\/em> is your ticket to write a great how-to book, self-help book or memoir. You can also pair Inspiration to Author with the Get Your Writing Done Membership Program.<\/p>\n A warning, though: there are no cookie cutter formulas or templates for a fast-food-type book. All my programs are designed to write a unique book that fills a market need and reflects the kind of quality and excellence you’ll want to be associated with you and\/or your business\u2014a book that makes a difference.<\/p>\n In my Bring Your Book to Life\u00ae Program<\/a><\/strong>, you’ll get private instruction, consulting and editing from me or Ginger Moran directly, you’ll be part of an intimate 8-week class (by interactive teleseminar or in-person in beautiful Narragansett, RI surrounded on 3 sides by ocean).<\/p>\n If you have already purchased Quick Start, a Book Concept Consultation and\/or Inspiration to Author, you’ll be credited for these toward the cost of the Bring Your Book to Life Program. I also offer early bird discounts and a six-month version of the program for those with trickier books\u2014so feel free to contact me<\/a><\/strong> if you want to explore in more detail and see whether Bring Your Book to Life is a good fit for you. You may want to read more about the Stevie Award Winning Bring Your Book to Life\u00ae Program<\/a><\/strong> before we talk.<\/p>\n My Bring Your Book to Life\u00ae Program<\/strong><\/a> is for you if you\u2019d like to work with me personally on your book and:<\/p>\n Read all the juicy details of what comes with my Bring Your Book to Life\u00ae Program<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>here.<\/p>\n Remember, these programs are for writing a how-to book, self-help book, business book or memoir.
