Have you ever thought of writing your own book?
This course is for those of you wanting to create non-fiction books - to successfully share your story or knowledge with the world...
Do you have something that you really want to share that you know will help others – but you feel overwhelmed about the process, the cost, or you are just not sure where to begin?
I remember when I wrote my first book (15 years ago) - staring at a blank page on my computer while negative thoughts flooded my mind – reminding me of all the reasons why I couldn't write. Maybe you have had those thoughts too...
I am happy to say that 15 years later I am so glad I didn't listen to those voices, and I am now a best selling author of many hard copy books and ebooks.
Some of them much to my delight are even No. 1 best sellers on Amazon. More importantly, I have discovered much joy and satisfaction in sharing my knowledge and story with others.
I want to show you the exact steps I have used over and over again to create, write and market my own books.
In this course, you will discover my 8 phase book writing formula which includes:
Foundations – Nailing your purpose and core idea;
The writing phase – which includes simple tips to write well, and also includes how to overcome writers' block;
