I want to write a book, but where do I start?
Right here. We have an e-kit that guides you through the entire process (Write Your Nonfiction or How-to Book in 60 Days). The kit helps you through all the technical details of writing a great book, but it doesn’t stop there. It coaches you through all the stumbling blocks that prevent aspiring authors from completing their books. Following our guidelines, you can have a first draft in two months.
If you know you’re the kind of person who needs support and accountability to get things done, the Support Program is a perfect place to start—you’ll take part in weekly teleseminars (classes by conference call) to get specific coaching and help with whatever challenges you face that week, as well as an opportunity to work chapter by chapter through the e-kit, being accountable to the group to set goals and accomplish them.
If you also want feedback on your book as you write, you’ll want to become part of the Gold Circle Mentoring Program. In this program, you’ll get feedback, chapter by chapter, so that you learn to write like an expert. I’ve seen people come into this class writing amateurish prose and come out of this program writing like a true professional.
How do I get over writer’s block?
First, if you work from a comprehensive outline, you’re much less likely to get stuck. We also provide “block-busting” tools to help you get in the groove and write from an inspired frame of mind. You can try our audio: Writing in the Zone: Tap into Your Full Creative Power, A Visualization for Writers or sign up for a block-buster coaching session. In an hour and a half, I’ll teach you the tools you need to un-block—and you’ll receive the audio as my gift to you.
What if I don’t get my book written? Do you offer any guarantees?
Yes. All our products and programs come with a guarantee. With the e-kit, you can peek into Chapter 1. Don’t like it; you don’t have to buy it. Next, if you buy the e-kit or and follow our instructions for two months—doing as the e-kit instructs—and you’re not satisfied that it helped you to write your book , you can get your full money back. And you get to keep our bonus items.
The Success Program comes with a money-back guarantee if you feel we did not fulfill on our obligation.
Because the Gold Circle Mentoring Program is highly interactive, we offer your money back in a pro-rated fashion—if you find the program does not live up to its promise, you may end the program and receive a refund for any coaching sessions or editing you have paid for but not yet received.
How do I know I have something worthwhile to say?
If you feel passionate enough to consider writing a book, I’m sure you do. It is always a good idea to see what books are out there already and to see how your book fits into the niche. Does it address the problem in a new way? Does it add to the body of knowledge? Is it more accessible, funnier or full of entertaining stories? There are lots of reasons your book will add to what’s out there, but the research helps you be more certain that it will.
I’m not a great writer and I don’t know all the rules of grammar. Should I even try?
Absolutely. You can get coaching and hire an editor to fix grammar mistakes. You can also learn the most common mistakes and basic rules in our e-kit. Don’t let grammar stop you. Just make sure you have a plan to have the book well edited (and don’t depend upon a “self-publishing” company—in order to give you a competitive price, they’ll skimp on the editing—hire someone independent). I can recommend an excellent editor if you want.
Most people do experience self-doubt. The thing is, you can let that cripple you, or you can get support to make sure you write a great book—it’s your choice.
