Crafting Your Nonfiction Idea: A mini-blueprint for those wanting to author a book

Writing a book is an excellent way to grow your reputation as an industry expert or thought leader. But it is as complex as building a house, and many overlook the foundational steps of gaining clarity on their idea before digging into the outline and content.

This 3-hour session offers the foundational steps, helping you to hone the key elements of your idea. Using the mini-blueprint from Jennie Nash’s popular Blueprint for a Nonfiction Book process, you will identify:

• why you’re writing this book,
• who it’s for,
• and the red-hot thread that supports each chapter, tool and strategy.

 
This session will include:

• An interview with author and book coach Alex Van Tol, to gain insights into the writing process, the current publishing landscape, the different paths to publishing, and how to organize a learning journey that inspires and educates.
• Workshoping and iterating your core idea with hot-seat and peer feedback.
• A Q+A session at the end.
