I was a craft teacher at a local college. My income needed a boost. I was reading a magazine one day and thought: this reads like one of my teaching handouts. I write handouts all day. I can do this. So I wrote to five craft magazines. Four ignored me. One said come in. I bluffed it. Said yes before I knew if I could deliver. She gave me a monthly column and told me one thing I'd done wrong with each submission. I fixed it. Did it again. Nineteen nonfiction books later, I still use the same approach. Start before you're ready. Fix as you go. What's something you started before you felt ready?

When you started out, you probably learned from books and trusted experts who shared their knowledge. Your future clients are doing the same. They're looking for someone credible, experienced, and trustworthy. A published book does more than showcase expertise, it proves it, continuing to build trust long after it's written. The question is: are you giving potential clients a reason to trust you before they ever speak to you?

Thanks for adding the mini course. I'll download at the weekend. Hopefully it'll help me stop procrastinating.

As a writer I love words. So my top non-fiction book would be 'The Etymologicon' (A circular stroll thought the hidden connections of the English language) by Mark Forsyth. which explains things like the actual connection between disgruntled and gruntled.

Many people, including myself find it difficult to come up with the 'right' title for a book. This new mini course will help you over that hurdle. Just go into the 'classroom' and it's there waiting for you.
