The Book Breakthrough Jam will:
- Validate and refine your Big Book Idea, giving you the clarity you need to write. We’ll hold up your idea and look at it from every angle, and make sure you’re not just writing any book, you’re writing the RIGHT BOOK, which presents your idea in phenomenal fashion.
- Bring your Big Book Idea to life. Because you know you have something special here that genuinely changes your clients’ lives, but you can’t quite see how to translate it into a book for a mass audience.
- Pinpoint your ideal reader so you have absolute clarity about what you’re writing, for whom, and why—because there are people out there who need your story and who will be grateful you’ve written it.
- Give you a roadmap + outline for your book so every time you sit down, you know exactly what you’re doing and how you’re doing it, which means your book will get done.
- Give you the power and skills to appraise your own work. This is an author and mindset session rolled into one, so when you come back to your outline you’ll know exactly how to evaluate it and improve it.
- Feel like having a personal writing coach. Because it is. You get access to my brain via Voxer for a month after our call—plus a follow-up call 2 weeks later to iron out any issues. I will not abandon you!
The Book Breakthrough Jam will not:
- Feel like a course or workshop. There is a core approach to my Breakthrough Jams but I focus on YOU and your unique story, voice, and Big Idea. There’s no blueprint or marketing-tick-box—the session is tailored to you and your goals.
- Give you templates from which you can create a cookie-cutter book—together, we’ll create your Reader Journey and book outline, so your book is uniquely yours.
- Walk you through your book launch and subsequent marketing. I can (and may) offer insights, ideas, and recommendations, but this isn’t where our time and energy is best spent.
- Involve writing according to an author blueprint or template. There are conventions we must follow and best practices, to be sure, but this isn’t about creating a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all book that could be anybody’s.
- Guarantee you a traditional publishing deal—however, I can talk to you about your publishing options and guide you in the direction that’s best for you.
- Provide you with a full book coaching service—but if you decide to work with me on one of my 1:1 or group coaching programmes, you’ll get a generous discount because of the work we do in this Jam.
- Leave you hanging. My goal for you is that you walk away excited about your book idea, and knowing exactly what you need to do when you sit down to write. Then I’ll be right there in your pocket for the next month if you need me!
It’s very reassuring to have someone tell you, ‘You can do this’ when everyone else is saying, ‘You can’t do that, you can’t write a book.’ She took the fear out of it, and broke the whole thing down into steps rather than a great big thing.
