WHAT THE PROGRAMME COVERS.
This is a complete, start-to-finish coaching programme that supports you through every key stage of writing, publishing and launching your book.
The journey typically includes:
Step 1 – Clarify your business goals and objectives
We begin by looking at the bigger picture. Why are you writing this book, what do you want it to achieve, and how can it support your brand, business and long-term goals?
Step 2 – Work on your book strategy
Together, we shape the strategic foundation of your book, including the concept, positioning, reader focus, core message and overall direction, so you are writing with clarity and purpose.
Step 3 – Develop your writing plan
We create a practical writing plan that suits your schedule, your working style and the reality of your life, so you can make steady progress and keep momentum.
Step 4 – Get your cover designed
Your cover matters more than most authors realise. I guide you through the process of developing a cover that is professional, relevant and aligned with the message and market for your book.
Step 5 – Announce your book to the world
We look at how and when to start talking about your book, so you can begin building awareness, interest and momentum well before publication.
Step 6 – Finish your first draft
This is where the real writing work happens. I support you through the process of getting the manuscript written, staying focused, overcoming self-doubt and reaching the all-important milestone of a completed first draft.
Step 7 – Review your first draft and make it better
Once the first draft is done, we step back and assess it strategically. We identify what is working, what needs improvement and how to strengthen the manuscript before it moves forward.
Step 8 – Determine your publishing pathway
We work through the publishing options available to you and choose the pathway that best suits your goals, budget, timeline and the kind of book you want to create.
Step 9 – Start the publishing process
With the pathway chosen, we begin moving the manuscript into production. I help guide you through the key stages and decisions so the process feels far less overwhelming.
Step 10 – Plan your book launch
A successful launch needs thought and preparation. Together, we map out how you will launch the book, build momentum and create the strongest possible start.
Step 11 – Printing, Amazon and bookshop distribution
We navigate the practical side of getting your book into the world, including printing, Amazon, distribution options and broader availability.
Step 12 – Launch your book, celebrate
This is the moment where all of your effort becomes real. Your book is launched, your work is out in the world, and you have something extraordinary to celebrate and build from.
