Book Development/Writing - Janice Beetle Books

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.

Flight of Integrity
By Peter Cichon with Janice Beetle

Peter Cichon spent countless hours daydreaming about leaving his trucking job behind to transition into a career at an airline. He worked sixty-five hours a week, living in his car on weekends, to make the transition in the early 1990s. His new career as a ramp agent exhilarated Peter and made him proud. He became a leader at his airline, where sexual harassment and racism were rampant. In addition to doing his job, Peter became a defender for colleagues who were beleaguered victims of a trio of aggressors. Standing against them was ultimately a major sacrifice. This novel, based on fact, tells Peter’s story.

Seasoned: A Memoir of Grief and Grace
By Tom Zink

This memoir is the story of Tom Zink’s unwitting grief journey of five decades that began when his older brother Steve was hit by a car and killed while on the paper route the two boys shared. But this is not merely a story of grief and recovery; it is also a poignant and, at times, humorous look at laughter and lightheartedness, winning and losing, and doubt and faith. Edited by Janice Beetle.
