Have you ever considered writing a non-fiction book to share your expertise or vision? Do you want to write your story? We can help you make it happen. Go for it!
Writing a book opens doors. Not only does it generate income, it also:
Writing a book is a long-term project, but one with lasting results. It puts you out there and gives you exposure and status. It is an effective way to share your expertise.
As an expert, you have all the information in your head, but you can’t always find the right words, the right tone or the right structure to formulate it. Does this sound familiar? You’re not alone. But don’t be discouraged. Writing is a process of trial and error. AIcan help you reach the first step in your writing goal. However, your text will always need your personal touch and the objective eye of an editor. That’s where we come in. We help you take your book to the next level.
Your style, our expertise
If you decide to engage Paula as a writing or editing coach, it is best to do so as early as possible in the process. Paula begins by making a ‘diagnosis’ of your writing, identifying your style, and pinpointing what needs to be changed and how much work that will entail. After that, she gives you advice right away on how to proceed with the rest of the writing process.
Improve your style
Paula’s advice is like a private writing course, enabling you to develop and improve your unique style as you progress. How you incorporate the writing advice is up to you. Anything is possible, from a complete rewrite to a simple polish. Receiving feedback may mean deleting or changing some elements. However, your unique style remains intact.
From the idea for a book to publication and marketing, many elements must be taken into account. Each stage requires you to make decisions. To help with that process, we work with Carin Wormsbecher. She has been running a printing & publishing company for 35 years and manages book projects from start to finish.
What publisher is right for your book? What should your book look like? How will you reach potential readers? These are just some of the questions she will discuss with you.
Carin’s advice can help you avoid mistakes, problems and unnecessary costs. It’s up to you to decide what to do yourself and what to leave to experts.
Consider whether your idea warrants writing a book about it. How unique or different is it? Is a book the right way to achieve your goal? If you decide to go ahead, the next step is to draw up a concrete plan.
Or are you driven by a commercial goal? There are many good reasons for writing a book. Identify what they are; be sure they are clear for you.
Do you see potential obstacles? Do you have doubts about your writing talent? Do you wonder if there is an audience for your book? Are your time and budget limited? Let us help you put these uncertainties into perspective.
Your story must be compelling and readable. Paula will guide you through every stage of the writing process, so it is both fun and educational. Together you will take your writing talent to the next level.
There are a wide range of format, form and print run options to choose from. This is where it’s wise to call in the relevant expertise and experience. Make sure you are well informed, so you avoid unnecessary costs.
Promote your book on major platforms like Amazon, Apple Books and Google Books. Or choose a niche market with a targeted approach.
Grow your success. Develop a series, manual or workshops. Translate your book for international markets. Dare to think big!
Now that you have a better idea of the whole process, you also know where your strengths lie and where you might need help. Your book is your calling card, so if you’re going to do it, do it right. To get started, join our free webinar (in Dutch).
