Live online workshops
‘From idea to book’
Millions of people are playing with the idea of writing a book, or are already working on a manuscript. Are you one of the few who will actually finish and publish their book?
During this live online workshop, I will share the secrets, experiences, and practical tips on writing a book, from my own experience of publishing 30 books. I will also answer any questions you have relating to your book.
When?
Wednesday, Nov 6th, 12 – 1.30 PM (CET/Amsterdam time)
*Last workshop, ever!
Investment
€59- p.p. This includes the PDFs of my book ‘Reverse Writing’ and the workbook with a value of €24.95!
What will we do?
During the ‘From idea to book’ workshop you will get tools to start, improve and finish your book. We do this using my ‘Reverse Writing’ method, which revolutionizes the process of writing a book by turning it around and starting at the end.
Avoid the mistakes most writers make! With this book writing program you start with the back cover of your book, which includes a good synopsis, and only then start writing a book outline. This prevents you from getting stuck or having to go back to restructure or rewrite entire chapters.
The bonus? You can start promoting your book before you even finish writing!
This book writing workshop also covers:
- How do you go from idea to implementation?
- How do you ensure that your book gets attention?
Free book and workbook!
When you participate in this Book Writing workshop, you will receive all the book writing tools you need, which include the ‘Reverse Writing’ book and a workbook with practical exercises.
During the 1.5 hours, as your book-writing helper, I will explain everything, answer your questions and help you on your way. The workshop is a live, online workshop and Q&A session.
Want to follow more workshops?
Remain ahead of the game. Each monthly ‘from idea to book’ workshop deals with a different theme, so that you always learn something new and remain inspired. There are also other workshops on (book) promotion, hiring assistants, boosting your business through a book, and much more. See all Online business workshops.
