LEARN HOW

I offer several online group programs for up-and-coming authors who want help writing a short, highly professional and stylish business book.

Write

My most popular program is Beta Author Boost. Registration for the March 7, 2013 – May 2, 2013 is closed as the program (limited to 10 writers) is now underway. There will not be another session until Fall 2013.

As an example of what Beta Authors can accomplish, here is the cover of Beta Author Robert Phelan’s newly-published book: THE COST OF IGNORANCE.

It’s a riveting business novella that punctures confusing insurance jargon and introduces a powerful new form of insurance for middle-market companies: Performance-Based Insurance™.

Promote

I’m developing a new online program that will show you how to promote and sell a short eBook. It’s called ATTENTION! Get Your eBook Noticed, Loved and Shared. To be the first to hear when this new program launches, click here.

COACHING

I offer one-on-one book coaching for highly-motivated authors who want to write short, nonfiction manuscripts (100 pages or less) on a business topic.

We dig deep

Together, we refine the business goal of your book, dig deep to identify your most compelling book idea and bake the marketing of your book into the manuscript .

We schedule non-negotiable writing blocks into your calendar and build a customized arsenal of writing tactics to defeat procrastination, lack of clarity and other common roadblocks.

Feedback on your writing

My role? To be your professional editor (full disclosure: I am very tough) and your muse. I support, inspire and prod so you can ship a completed eBook within the timeframe you set.

Also included is my high-level feedback on your writing. This means pointing out what works, what sings, what questions are raised, what is missing and how to create the most value for your readers.

Note: a typical client is already writing and producing content via a blog, articles, white papers or presentations. He or she may already have written a book.

1-on-1 support

We work together via Skype video, typically meeting twice a month for 60-minute sessions. In between sessions, we communicate via email so that you are always supported.

Also included

Access to the course materials provided to Beta Author Boost participants, including my essays on the writing process, action step handouts, edited transcripts with guest experts and more.

Monthly retainer for book coaching is $2,500.
