What this Toolkit Can Do for You...

This Kit is Made for Anyone Who Wants to Write a Better Book

 

  • It means writers who have started and stopped more times than they can count (and they have the drafts to prove it!)
  • It means entrepreneurs, experts, teachers and soccer moms who are afraid to call themselves writers but know they have something to say.
  • It means people who have been haunted by an idea for years and have never found the courage to start.
  • It means writers who have been taking workshops for years but never dared to commit to a project.
  • It means writers whose first books fizzled out.
  • In other words....

It Means You

Jennie has helped hundreds of authors start and finish their books with her proven process. It’s all inside The Book Startup Toolkit. You’ll start by defining your goals, getting to know your ideal reader and what she wants, and understanding the marketplace. (And YES, fiction writers need to do this work, too!) You’ll work on giving your book a shape or structure that serves your story, deciding where it should start and where it should end, and sketching out the entire book using a simple tool that can capture the shape of even the most complex books. Jennie walks you through the writing of the first and last chapters of your book, giving tips and tricks for how to write with clarity and confidence, how to avoid rookie mistakes in every genre, and how to make sure you engage your reader from sentence one to “the end.” The final section of the Toolkit includes key lessons for how to make room in your life for writing – including actionable steps for building excellent habits, combating doubt, and making sure that you do what it takes not just to start your book, but to finish.

Examples and Tips for Every Genre

Jennie has written and coached writers in all three major genres – fiction, memoir and non-fiction. She offers examples, exercises, tips and tricks for each of them.

If you have written in one genre and want to switch to another, this Toolkit will show you the way.

If you have ideas in multiple genres, you can find your way forward for each of them.

Writing a book that resonates with readers starts and ends exactly the same way – with the writers intention and commitment. Jennie helps you make a plan for success.
