Helping You Produce a Book You Will Be Proud to Hand to Others
"You should write a book!"
You've heard this phrase more times than you can count, but the process of writing feels overwhelming. Maybe you had a sudden burst of inspiration and finished the first chapter, but now you feel stuck and you're plagued with doubt.
"How will I ever write enough to fill an entire book?" "Will anyone care about what I have to say?" "Should I tell my story or write a book that outlines the key principles I've learned from decades of experience?" "How do I ever write a book when I have such a busy schedule?"
If this is where you're at, know you're not alone. Writing a book is hard work. But it's also very doable. Through using a tried and proven process that has worked for dozens of authors I've worked with, I can help you build a quality manuscript in 3-6 months.
Writing Stages
-
Step 1: Master Book PlanThe goal of this stage is to create a 10-15 page outline of your manuscript that will serve as the foundation of your book.
-
Step 2: Developmental Edit of Chapter 1This step is all about creating a strong hook for readers that will make them want to keep reading. It's establishing your tone and style that will serve as a template for future chapters.
-
Step 3: Developmental Edit of The First ThirdIf your manuscript has nine chapters, this section might include Chapters 1-3.
-
Step 4: Developmental Edit of The Second ThirdBuilding off the content created in the first third, this section is about pressing through the "marathon of the middle."
-
Step 5: Developmental Edit of The Final ThirdNow the end is in sight. At the end of this stage, you will have a full developmental edit of your manuscript.
-
Step 6: Line EditThe line edit phase weeds out needless repetition, ensures the main point is emphasized in each chapter, and eliminates most typos or grammatical errors. At the end of this stage, your manuscript will be ready to hand to a copy editor.
