WRITE A BOOK IN A YEAR

A Guided Author Coaching Program for Writers Ready to Finish, Publish, and Sell Their Book All in One Year

Most writers don’t fail because they can’t write.
They fail because they don’t have a clear system.

​

They start with an idea.
They stall halfway through the draft.
They publish without a plan.
And their book never reaches the readers it was meant for.

​

A Book In a Year is a structured, end-to-end author coaching program designed to take you from a blank page to a professionally published book and into real bookstores with clarity, accountability, and proven strategy at every step.

​

This isn’t theory. This is the exact framework used to take books from concept to Amazon bestseller rankings and independent bookstore shelves.

"A BOOK IN A YEAR"
AUTHOR COACHING PROGRAM

PHASE 1

Book Conceptualization

This phase is about building the right book before you write a single chapter. Together, we clarify your core idea, define your target reader, and position your book within its genre so it fits the market without losing your voice. You’ll develop a compelling working title, a clear emotional or thematic promise, and a structured outline that gives you confidence moving forward. By the end of this phase, you’ll know exactly what you’re writing, who it’s for, and why it deserves to exist.

PHASE 2

The First Draft

Here we focus on execution and momentum. This phase is designed to help you complete your entire first draft without burning out or getting stuck in perfectionism. You’ll establish a sustainable writing routine, set realistic word-count goals, and learn how to write quickly while maintaining clarity and consistency. By the end of this phase, you’ll have a complete manuscript and the confidence to finish future projects faster.

PHASE 3

Revising & Editing

This phase transforms your rough draft into a cohesive, compelling manuscript. We focus on big-picture revisions first (structure, pacing, clarity, and emotional impact) before tightening language and flow. You’ll learn how to self-edit strategically, identify what actually needs fixing, and prepare your manuscript for beta readers or professional editors. By the end, your book will feel intentional, refined, and ready for production.

PHASE 4

Book Formatting & Production

In this phase, your manuscript becomes a professional product. We ensure your book is properly formatted for both ebook and print, with correct front matter, back matter, trim sizes, and file specifications. You’ll gain clarity on ISBNs, interior layout, and production decisions so your book meets industry standards and looks legitimate from the first page to the last.

PHASE 5

Publishing & Distribution

This phase guides you through the publishing process with intention and strategy. You’ll choose the right publishing path for your goals, set up your book across major platforms, and optimize key elements like metadata, pricing, and categories. By the end of this phase, your book will be live, discoverable, and positioned to sell without guesswork or last-minute scrambling.

PHASE 6

Marketing & Audience Growth

Marketing becomes clear and repeatable in this phase. You’ll develop a personalized strategy for promoting your book in a way that feels natural and sustainable, whether through short-form content, collaborations, email, or organic discovery. We focus on building momentum that extends beyond launch week, helping you create visibility, reader trust, and consistent sales over time.

PHASE 7

Getting Stocked in Bookstores

This final phase focuses on expanding your credibility and reach through independent bookstores. You’ll learn how bookstores evaluate books, how wholesale pricing and distribution work, and how to professionally pitch your book for stocking, signings, or events. With outreach templates and a repeatable follow-up system, you’ll leave with a clear path to seeing your book on bookstore shelves.
