Take your readers on a heroine's journey

Would you and I work well together? 

LET'S FIND OUT

You are:

Already an expert in your field, and an educator.

You're an academic, teacher, researcher, journalist, filmmaker and/or speaker. 

An avid reader, and a writer in some form.

You are a writer, though you may not have published a full-length non-fiction book yet. 

Both intellectual and mystical.

You see these as rich fields of exploration that complement rather than contradict one another. 

Passionate about your subject.

Your mythic theme is or will be a key part of your thought leadership platform.

Offering beautiful, positive ideas.

Your message is not divisive or polemic. It may be disruptive, but it's driven by compassion and unity consciousness.

Committed to meeting deadlines.

You're prepared to give this book project your all, even when things feel hard - as they inevitably will at some point.

Aware that creativity thrives inside boundaries.

It comes in the doing. Discipline births inspiration, and beauty can arrive when you least expect it.

Highly motivated and ready for a challenge.

You have adequate time to devote to this, and can afford high touch coaching without financial stress.

You know this book is yours to write, because...

  • You've gathered your materials for years (in the case of non-fiction), amassing research, case studies, insights and depth of understanding. You've tested and course-corrected your ideas on large numbers of people. (10 is not enough!)
  • You know your life experiences can be of real value for others (in the case of memoir); you are writing for a distinct readership to spark their own transformation, not just your own therapeutic purposes.
  • The idea for this book won't leave you alone. You know it's yours to write. It lives inside you in your blood, breath and bones. It is rooted in your felt experience and direct knowing.
  • You may be feeling resistant or vulnerable, especially if this project will break new ground for you or take you to your edge, but you are being strongly called, and you won't feel as if you've completed your mission until it's written.
Professionally speaking, your goals are...
  • To write a high calibre book - fired by passion, purpose and commitment - that becomes a vital part of your professional ecosystem and shares your core message and/or teachings. 
  • To be a thought leader on this subject. You know books don't necessarily make money, but this will enhance your expertise, opening up new income streams for you such as public speaking, trainings, retreats, coaching or consulting.
  • To take a long-term public stand for your book, whether it has a big publisher behind it, fills a small but targeted niche and is picked up by an independent or academic press, or you go for a hybrid option. 
You understand...
  • The value of coaching with a high personal touch, of having someone put their full attention into your work. You welcome open communication, embrace feedback, like to be challenged, and enjoy creative brainstorming.
  • The usefulness of project management, accountability and deadlines, even if at times this may feel as if it runs counter to your creative flow. You accept that inspiration comes in the doing, rather than in waiting for the perfect moment.
  • That writing a book is hard - it requires love, sweat and dedication - and that success with a book is unpredictable. It involves timing and luck as well as skill. The publishing industry is changing at dizzying speed, and there are no guarantees.
