If you’ve ever aspired to write a book, this presents a wonderful opportunity to take your first steps into the realms of writing and publishing. And here’s the best part: if writing isn’t your forte, fret not. We’ve got your back every step of the way. Plus, as a contributing author, you only need to whip up one chapter for the book.

You might just discover a love for it and decide to continue your journey as an author. 🚀
15 WEEK VIRTUAL COACHING
This personalized coaching experience goes beyond refining your writing skills as an author; it’s a collaborative venture where we consider the whole person—your identity as an artist, intellectual, and professional. As your creative partners in this transformative journey, our team of professional writers will serve as your guides, imparting invaluable insights to ensure that your chapter not only captivates but also authentically mirrors your distinctive vision and brand. Together, we can elevate your writing to new heights, making your story a true reflection of your creative essence and professional aspirations.
1-ON-1 STORY DEVELOPMENT
As creative partners, we’ll collaboratively breathe life into your chapter’s narrative. Through our one-on-one brainstorming session, we’ll meticulously develop a story arc that not only captivates and resonates with your audience but also aligns seamlessly with your unique voice and vision. This personalized approach creates an intimate space to freely explore your story, enabling us to extract its essence and expertly mold it into a compelling narrative. Additionally, we’ll focus on enhancing character development, refining plot intricacies, and ensuring a cohesive flow that keeps readers immersed. Our storytelling journey aims not just to produce a chapter for a book series but to create an experience that resonates deeply and lingers in the minds of your audience, making your chapter an unforgettable contribution to the collective narrative.
COPYEDITING & PUBLISHING
Rest assured, each author in our program will receive meticulous copyediting and proofreading for their chapter, ensuring that every contribution is published with the utmost excellence. Our dedicated editorial team will carefully review your work, addressing grammatical nuances, refining sentence structures, and polishing prose to guarantee clarity and coherence. This meticulous process aims to elevate the overall quality of each chapter, presenting a cohesive and refined anthology that resonates with readers. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond storytelling, ensuring that your words are not only impactful but also impeccably presented on the page. Join us in creating a collection where every chapter shines with literary brilliance.
BOOK PREMIERE LAUNCH EVENT
Once the book is done, it’s time to celebrate what we’ve created with our in-person book bash! This isn’t just a celebration of our hard work—it’s also an opportunity for a book signing and a talk back in front of an audience. But hey, it’s not all business—we’ll curate a fantastic event for you to network, swap stories, sell some books, and just have a good time. This is just the beginning of our marketing efforts to promote the book. We’re spreading the word with a cool press release and hitting up social media to ensure your story gets the spotlight it deserves. So, let’s not just tell your tale; let’s party it up and show it off to the world in a big, unforgettable celebration!
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
To ensure a seamless and well-structured experience for our authors, we’ve got you covered with cutting-edge project management tools and a meticulously designed course curriculum. Our project management tools are tailored to streamline communication, track progress, and facilitate collaboration throughout the entire co-authoring journey. Additionally, our thoughtfully crafted course curriculum serves as a guide, providing authors with a clear roadmap for the various stages of the project, from story development to the final touches.

All that goodness wrapped up in one affordable package – talk about a win-win!
We set up this low-cost collaboration fee because creating a top-notch book involves some serious behind-the-scenes magic – editors, proofreaders, cover designers, formatters, marketing maestros, you name it! We’ve kept the fee super affordable to cover the expenses and pay our fantastic expert team, without making a profit on the collaboration fee. Our aim is to keep things accessible for all the amazing authors who share our mission. We’re all about flexibility too, so if you need a payment plan or anything else, we’re here to make it work and partner with you on your storytelling journey.
While many co-authors are entrepreneurs or small business owners, it’s important to note that the book’s concept is not centered around promoting your business. Instead, the focus is on promoting your personal story and transformation. Your chapter should not be geared towards self-promotion. The primary goal of the book is to enhance your personal brand awareness, visibility, and authority by collectively achieving best-seller status.
Your chapter will be a maximum of 5,000 words and should be submitted through a Google Document. Don’t worry; we’ve got your back every step of the way. After your topic gets the green light, you’ll receive an outline to draft your initial version, ensuring consistency across all chapters. Once that’s approved, it’s time to flesh out your complete chapter, and we’ll be there to guide and coach you throughout the process.
But wait, there’s more! You’ll also be the wordsmith behind three different bios of varying lengths. These bios will be used for all things promotional and marketing related to the book. We’re in this together, and we’ll make sure you shine at every step!
New co-authors are welcome to join our book collaboration until early March. Come March, we’ll kick off with our first virtual coaching and mastermind session, and don’t stress if you can’t make it – we’ll have it recorded for you. All draft chapters should be in and delivered to the project lead by mid-April (week 6), with final chapters due at the end of April (week 9). Fast forward to the end of May, and we’ll have the finishing touches on the book. Brace yourselves for the big launch happening in mid-June. Just a heads up, this timeline might see a tweak depending on when we fill up all the co-author slots. Exciting times ahead – let’s make it happen together!
