Why? Because they keep putting it off, waiting for that magical day down the road, when they’ll finally have the time to write their book, much less figure out how to publish it.  

For almost 20 years, I helped people with their stories—teaching creative writing and business writing to university students, showing businesses how to quickly and easily improve their written documents and leading small, intimate workshops using the power of writing for personal clarity. 

Getting my own book into the world, though, was a different story. My background was in traditional publishing, so I knew from first-hand experience that that was the slow route and there were no guarantees. For years, I stopped and started different projects, trying to figure out what my publishers wanted. Underlying everything was the nagging fear of how my book would be received. And then there was the very real challenge of finding the time to write.  

One day, I discovered a fast, easy way to write and publish a book that had a built-in demand. In three months, I wrote my book (from start to finish) as well as published it. Instead of waiting years for my book to be published with a traditional publisher, I published my book in weeks. I used the same system that I’d refined with my clients over the years, and I’m going to share that system with you.  

Publishing that first book taught me how easy it was to get a book into the world. Not only did my book free up time and resources, but it continues to generate a steady stream of income, and has opened up doors I never would have imagined. From there, it was a natural transition to my second book and a whole new set of opportunities.  

I want the same for you. I want to show you how easy it can be to get your book into the world, and create your own doors of possibility. Publishing your book doesn’t have to be slow and difficult, and you don’t need to wait for someone else to “discover” you.  

We’ll cover the exact steps it’ll take to get your book into the world, whether you choose to self-publish or go the route of traditional publishing. You’ll leave this course with a clear plan for moving forward, with a comprehensive knowledge of what it takes to write, publish and market your book in today’s rapidly changing publishing landscape. So let’s get your book into the world already. Let’s make this your year to shine! Lots of love, Tanja
