Book Development/Writing

Maybe what you have at this stage is an idea for a book that you want to write yourself but you have no idea how to map out the steps that will bring you to publication. You don’t know where to begin, and it keeps you from beginning at all.

I can help.

I can consult with you to help draw out the story line and craft an outline for the book. Then, I can outline the steps and a timeline—called a production schedule—to get you from book idea to bookshelf.

Then I can guide you through the process of interviewing sources to gather information that will be useful—or I can do the interviews for you. Likewise, I can guide you through the book writing process, or I can write/ghostwrite the book for you.

The best way for us to get started is for you to do a Book Readiness Consult.

If you have a lot of fear about writing a book, consider starting with:
