How this course was created
Hi, I'm Dale, your guide and course facilitator. I wrote my first book in 2012 and, since then, have gone on to publish many more. I have also coached a lot of people with a great message through the same process. Everything in the course is a result of my experience with my clients.
The key thing to know is that all good books start with a plan. If you want to write a book - plan it first!
This course takes you from having no idea to the right idea, to creating an outline and a chapter framework, and on to writing your first draft and self-publishing your book.

A Little About Me
In my free time, I’m an avid reader, a deep thinker, and an explorer of all things soulful and strategic. I love long walks with my furries, deep conversations over cake, and a good laugh (despite my dad’s lifelong disapproval of my quirky humour).
I believe learning never stops and reinvention is always possible—no matter where you are in life. If you’re ready to step into your next chapter, I’d love to help guide you.
Let’s turn ideas into action and create something truly meaningful
