Welcome to the self-help books writing course!
I am your coach – Kate Koronis, and I have taught dozens of people book writing, and, hopefully by the time you are watching this lesson, hundreds of people will be writing Life Transforming books . Now it is your turn!
v What to expect of the Course?
By the end of the course, you will write minimum of one Self-help books. But for those who want to get the maximum of the course you will learn how to
- Write
- Publish
- Promote
.. more than one book.
If you work with me for a long time, you know that I respect productivity. And one of the productivity tools is batch production. So the system is built in a way that you will have potentially up to 3 books in your mind to be able to release them as series.
Sometimes self-help books come with additional materials like Workbook or Journal. So I will also give you an insight on how to work with this.
Therefore, the Maximum goal is to give you a system of writing 5 books in batch including
- Self-help books
- Workbooks
- Journals
The combination of quantity of Self-help books vs Workbooks and Journals will totally depend on the depth of the topic you will be able to develop.
By the end of the course, you will be an Author.
Most Importantly: By the end of this course, you will be able to totally transform any area of your life you will choose. Your life will never be the same. You will become a designer of your life.
v What the Book Production Includes
Now let’s discuss what do you need to learn to achieve the course objectives.
The Book Publishing can be divided to 5 stages:
- Idea Conception
- Research & Drafting
- Proofreading & Source Listing
- Content Formatting & Design
- Cover & Title Design
- Publishing & Marketing
I am sure each stage name speaks for itself, but it is good to know what exactly you will do. Because there are many approaches to each of the stages. Believe it or not 5 of those Stages you can outsource. Only one you can’t outsource: The idea conception
§ Idea Conception
On this stage you become an author, an originator of the idea. The concept that will be at the core of your book, for which all the content will work to make reader accept your concept and apply it in their life.
§ Research & Drafting
After you understand the concept and what you want to influence you will plan your book and write its content, developing core points and ideas. Research will help you to have evidence and arguments to prove your point. Or maybe research will help you improve your concept and correct it if the initial idea is incomplete.
We are going to use AI for research and initial drafting.
§ Proof Reading & Source Listing
Many ideas that will be concepted by you might have already surfaced in other people’s publications. To avoid any legal issues or damage to your brand as an author we need to ensure we reference the originator of the ideas we will use.
§ Content Formatting & Design
There are specific requirements to a book format for publishing the electronic and hard copy of the book. You can also extend this work to making the internal content of the hard copy esthetically pleasing.
§ Cover & Title Design
We will work on attractiveness of your book here. Cover and Title Design are already part of marketing strategy as you might know from the YouTube Start course where Title and Cover is the key for the viewer to click on your book in the first place.
§ Publishing & Marketing
Publishing to Amazon and Marketing Strategy. There are many strategies how to make your book known, we will practically work with few options to push your Book Release.
v All this doesn’t matter if
All this does not matter if you don’t find the author’s voice! Learn to share your unique personality! Make people recognize that they are reading your unique text every time they will open your book.
If you want write boring books, cliché and copycat books the most write, just skip the whole “Finding your voice” section.
