ABOUT SARAH BULLEN
Sarah Bullen is a top writing coach and literary agent. She has worked with writers, authors and publishers since 2003 supporting writers to finally get that book written, and get published. She is known as a mentor who gets results, and publishing deals.
"I believe that writing a book is both a deeply creative journey, and an investment in your future. It is a big, brave and bold move to share yourself with the world, to gather all your thoughts, lessons and expertise in one place - a book. It can be an madcap writing adventure, or a slow and steady build to create your brand. I like writers to understand the market into which they are writing, to position their book in a niche and to deliver a world class product."

WRITE YOUR BOOK IN 100 DAYS
"Writing is a journey. Writing a book is a deep dive into a process of creativity and structure. I totally believe in planning your book and writing with intent. Sometimes it just takes some clear direction, and an understanding on how to structure a book to take you from having a dream of writing to becoming a published author. Let's walk that journey together. The writing is your job, my job is to show you how, to hold you accountable and to find your best book."
