Write Your Book in 8 Weeks
This program will walk you through the book writing process from conception to finished first draft*. You will come away with an understanding of not only the different pieces of a book, but how to first create them, and then compile them into a single complete manuscript ready for professional editing.
What That Looks Like
This course will be taught in a private Facebook group and will also include a weekly zoom call where I will walk you through each of the modules.
You will have the opportunity to ask questions and will have access to me both in the group and through email for a total of 8 weeks.
I will be taking you through the exact process I have used with every author I have worked with in the last 4 years, including Sean Whalen – Best Selling Author of “How To Make Shit Happen” which has sold over 300,000 copies.

-Final questions/debriefing
Writing a book for many is a bucket list item that seems like a “pipe dream“.
It may seem as though we don’t have any knowledge or any story that would entertain, educate, inspire, or motivate others.
The time and writing skill we may believe it requires at the outset seems daunting and makes some people perceive this as an unrealistic endeavor.
However, in working with Kathryn, we realize that all of these limiting beliefs are not true.
With the clever strategies for structure and format, Kathryn was able to help me organize my flow of ideas into a cohesive work with great flow. She provided good constructive feedback along the way in order to ensure that what was written was going to convey the message and be received by the public in the way that it was intended.
She also asked the questions at the outset of the course that every author needs to answer when putting ink to paper for a self development books such as mine.
In answering these questions, all of us realized just how much value that we possessed and could share.
Along the way, I gained a lot of knowledge not just about the writing and editing process, but Kathryn also shares a lot of her expertise with regards to marketing, which is an extremely important step both before and after the editing process is complete.
Nowadays, your book is your business card. Link up with Kathryn if you want to put your best foot forward!
