NEXT MENTORSHIP STARTS 1 FEBRUARY 2019
Are you ready to finally write your book and get it out into the world? This is a unique, high-level and personalized mentorship.
It is an extraordinary, supported process that will get you to create, plan, write and COMPLETE your book as you join a community of writers from all over the world - together we will travel this exciting journey.
This is our first level mentorship, and it is a very tightly-held course that holds you to your promise to write your book. We set the targets and deadlines and show you how to write with clear focus and intent. This is the first step all writers must take down the path to publication.
This is not a generic online course. We work intimately with writers over the entire first draft process. We do not use pre-recorded video lessons via Teachable or Infusionsoft. Over and above structured lessons via emails, you get LIVE mentorship calls, a closed accountability group and highly sought after one-on-one sessions.
.
That means you get to see our faces and really become part of a small group that is going to start, and more importantly finish, together. The small and personal nature of this is why we have close to 100 published authors come through our mentorships - and that is pretty remarkable.
This intense mentorship programme will prompt, push and hold you to your promise to write your book. Are you IN? We have limited spaces for each mentorship because of the high level of support we offer. This is not a mass online programme where you feel four like a number, or do not get the support to complete your book.
This is about a COMMITMENT TO WRITE YOUR BOOK no matter what.

Why is this mentorship so successful?
Sarah has fifteen years of getting writers to produce the most publishable version of their books and selling these to publishers. She is a literary agent and editor and really will support you to write your book. Kate is on her 4th book and is an international author, speaker and brand expert. She will lovingly hold you accountable to your OWN promise to make this dream a reality.
This is truly a remarkable, hand-held process that will get your book out there and start to walk you down the road to getting your book published.
So what happens?
In a nutshell, you will plan, write and produce your first draft over four months. Writers choosing the Platinum option will have a further two months where your book will be assessed by a professional editor and you will start to build your author brand
This mentorship is honestly a massive juggernaut. Once we start, you are going to be coached, cajoled, loved and pushed to get to the end of your book. We would like to take you all the way to publication with our more advanced mentorship, but we can chat about that later. Nothing happens without your first draft completed!
- We start with a live call explaining the process and a lesson in how to write a book, what publishers are looking for and how to begin to structure your thoughts into a contents list.
- In the second week, we will stream writers into fiction and non-fiction depending on your chosen genre.
- The core of the communication happens via structured email lessons you will receive twice a week. Novelists will be on a fast-track to plot, plan and write and will receive an email instruction every day to get your plot points adequate and your words flowing.
- There are monthly live video conference calls on book structure, plotting and technique. These also form the backbone of support, as writing can be a very lonely journey.
- Each writer has four personal sessions. The two with Sarah will work directly on your book structure, positioning, plot, and concept. One will happen early in the course to get your book on the right track from the start. The others will happen later to resolve and refine the book.
- The sessions with Kate will cover target-setting, emotional and confidence blocks, how to move forward and set accountability challenges. The second session will be a focused look at your author brand and how to build and leverage this.
During the first four months, the entire focus will be on your word count and getting your draft down (aka writing your book).
THE MEMOIR / NON-FICTION PLATINUM VERSION INCLUDES MORE!
EVERYTHING as included in the 4 Month Complete Your Book Mentorship – see above
PLUS the additional two-month’s journey will fast-track your book with:
A full professional assessment of your first draft with written feedback from an international book editor (we will match editor with your book)
1 month to refine your book and implement your feedback from the editor.
2 months to start building your author brand (what all publishers need)
Additional 2 live mentorship calls with Kate and Sarah and invited guests for platinum tier only
During month five your focus changes: while you get an appraisal on your working draft from a professional editor, you shift gears to start thinking about your author brand and getting a head start on being “publisher ready”. Your manuscript will receive a thorough professional read-through and a detailed assessment and reader report. These are high-level structural assessments to help you refine and improve your first draft. Please note this is not a full edit of your book but an assessment and report. This is invaluable for an author!
The last month is a hard push and opportunity to implement and rework your book using the advice and feedback.
At the end of 6 months you will have a highly workable draft of your book. Now you can kick into the next phase of getting ready to be published / self-published. We have a 10-week bootcamp called PITCH TO PUBLISHED designed for this phase.
