Idea Audit & Book Roadmap
Have a great book idea?
Your time is valuable. Get clear what you need to write, before you write it, and save time and misguided effort writing a book that doesn’t work.
Over a series of interviews, we’ll clarify your key concept and ideal market. I’ll give you honest feedback on if your idea has the depth needed to anchor a book, and suggest additional steps or research to make your concept work. If you have more than one idea, our work will clarify which to tackle first.
You’ll leave with your book’s blueprint that includes a detailed outline that you can use to start writing with clarity, focus, and confidence. This plan saves you untold hours spent writing down the wrong path. It’s the single best investment you could make to ensure an outcome you want.
