The truth is that very few people achieve big dreams in isolation: in fact career expert and international author Barbara Sher calls isolation a ‘dream killer’. Have you ever found yourself giving up on a dream – or worse still, not even starting – because it seemed too hard on your own?

Publishing a book is one of those big dreams – it will at times feel like a solitary gig, so you will need all the help you can find to keep you on track and reaching monthly goals along the way. Too many people try it alone, and without a cheer squad, support and accountability they find the going tough, giving up before they have their book in their hands.

I love assisting people with their non-fiction books, and have just managed the production and launch of a fantastic book for women in business – Women on Top. I also work with authors as a coach and a supplier of publishing services – see testimonials page.

Now I am about to commence a six-month book mastermind program with a small group of business owners or career focussed people who fully understand the advantages of publishing their own book.

This program is perfect for you if you:

• are serious about publishing your book as soon as possible
• are able to devote regular time to your book over the next months
• need to know more about the publishing process
• want to clarify your ideas and gain structure and purpose
• work best with regular mini-deadlines which push you to achieve
• enjoy tapping into a like-minded group
• want to benefit fully from publishing your book.

This six-month Book Publishing Mastermind Program offers a combination of ‘how to’ instruction, publishing information and regular deadlines to keep you moving from concept to publication as the group meets monthly and you complete set steps between meetings. Email support is included. Individual coaching (extra) is also available when motivation lapses or extra help is needed. This small mastermind group program blends instruction and accountability, and will keep you on track towards your publishing goals.

This Book Publishing Mastermind Program includes:

• big-picture planning and business considerations
• six group meetings which are a mix of instruction, discussion and practical work, including writing
• set writing deadlines and other ‘homework’ between each meeting, to progress your book
• informal and optional group support between meetings
• email support from me during the program. Lengthy or detailed individual support is available as an extra service.
• access to publishing services such as editing, design, websites etc, should you require recommendations
• access through me to my vast network of contacts if appropriate, for the benefit of your book.

Designed for first-time authors of non-fiction who have identified that a book will truly boost your profile and your business or career. You could have your book in your hands by the end of the year!
