Build Your Own Newsletter
I write a daily faith-based newsletter that goes out to my paid subscribers. I can help you write a similar style of newsletter for your business.
Why should I create weekly long-form content?
Writing a book is great! It’s a terrific way to grow your business and build your brand. There’s only one problem: If no one reads what you write, your effort will go to waste.
Now more than ever, the onus is on authors to build their audience and create their platforms. This is often the determining factor between authors who get published and those who do not. Through crafting weekly long-form content, you can:
-
Build an online audience
-
Keep your content at the forefront of your target readers’ minds
-
Gauge their reaction to what you post and adjust your content accordingly
-
Create the material you will use for your next book
Using platforms like Ghost, you can build an audience that consumes your content for free or opts into a paid subscription.

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.
*Each payment will be made in monthly installments. If you have a hybrid approach to these tiers, I want to be flexible to fit your approach.
