Publisher's Synopsis
You keep saying you want to write a book...
But for some reason, you can't pull the trigger.- Is it because you don't know what to write about?
- You don't know if it'll be any good?
- You don't have a plan?
FEAR. NO. MORE. When I self-published my memoir, Atlas Personality, I had an enviable amount of relief and proud wash over me. I did not care how much I made, I did not care who read it or what they thought, all that mattered was I did it. I received the typical praise one might get from close family and friends when I announced my book was on sale: "I'm so proud of you!"
"Congratulations!"
"Wow! I could never do that!" Once that ended, the most common question came up: "How did you do it?" When I wrote the book, I came up with my own process. I borrowed from different writing teachers and books I've ready over my 31 years on earth, as well as my own proprietary methods, and came up with this book: JUST WRITE YOUR DAMN BOOK ALREADY! What does this book contain?
- A method for forming the central message of your book
- Worksheets to sketch out characters, story beats, and more
- A worksheet to help you come up with your book's logline, or, central story
- A 30-day journaling/writing challenge
- A step-by-step guide to preparing your book for release -- From a marketing plan to tips on cover designs (even a page to draw your own, perhaps with crayon or water colors, whatever you want) and more!
Will this book help you get a real publisher? Hell no.
Will this book help you fulfill that dream of actually sitting down and finishing that memoir, collection of short stories, or hard-boiled detective novel you've always wanted to write but weren't sure how? HELL. YES. This is about happiness. Your happiness. I want to give you tips to doing things cheaply, effectively. Can't afford an editor? Great! Can't afford a designer? Fine! For the cost of this book, I hope I can help you do it all yourself in a way that will still make you proud at the end of the day. (For example, the cover was designed and formatted using Canva and I used three different, affordable programs to design the inside.) SIT BACK, RELAX, AND THEN WHEN YOU'RE DONE RELAXING, GRAB THIS BOOK AND GET TO WORK. You'll thank me, I promise.
