10 Steps when thinking about writing a book - eBook
I know about what it takes to create a book. Starting with your goals in mind is critical to know how to leverage your book for your life - and what kind of investment you want to make in it.
I’ve created this resource for those who desire to write a book. Perhaps you have an idea, a powerful experience to communicate or a vision that will help others. Maybe you already have started writing. Writing a book could be something you’ve always wanted to do. Regardless of where you are in the process of writing, I want to affirm that you have a story inside you. My goal is to offer tips I’ve learned on my journey to becoming an author.
Is there much more to this? Yes! There is a whole process of the business of publishing but that’s a conversation for another time. For now, consider these tips not from an expert but someone who has been where you are and wants to see you shine!
