Want to Get Your Book into the World but Don't Know How?

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.

I believe in making it easy to connect with your readers with authenticity and heart. I know that if you’re going to invest your time and energy in writing a book, it has to be successful as well as meaningful. With the right focus, the right training, and the right tools, you can implement a step-by-step plan to write, publish and promote your book in a short amount of time. You can move from wanting to publish a book “some day” to seeing your book gain traction, generate income AND make a difference in people’s lives. And you can use your book to open the door to a whole new set of opportunities, from interviews to speaking engagements. I’ll show you how to claim your expert status so that you can increase your media exposure and grow your ideal clientele, freeing up the time and resources to focus on what’s most important to you. And I’ll show you how to do it while maintaining your integrity, without selling your soul.

Ready to get your book into the world, but aren’t sure what to do or where to start? In today’s rapidly-changing world, it can be tricky to figure out whether to pursue traditional publishing or publish it yourself. And what the heck are you supposed to do first—write your book, contact publishers, create a website, start blogging? What?
