Get ready to write a book!
Once you have completed the enrolment process, you will have access to all the templates and instructions you need both for planning and getting started on your writing.
It's up to you whether you want to plan first (recommended) or just hit-the-blank-page-writing on Challenge Day 1.
If you do choose to plan first, you are welcome to email me your outline for feedback and guidance. This will also help me to direct you during your writing if you veer off your plan.
Once you start writing, you will be able to email me your work-in-progress whenever you need feedback or encouragement (even daily, if you like, as an accountability check-in). I will acknowledge your email and occasionally provide guidance on the "big picture" of what you have told me you wish to achieve.
When necessary, I'll send you additional advice if I pick up recurring issues to do with grammar, punctuation, clarity, or word use, etc., but since this is a first draft there is no need to edit excessively at this point.
Each week, we'll look at your progress towards your target and set goals for the following week.
Strategy session / editorial feedback
You are also entitled to have two email discussions with your editor regarding anything that is causing confusion or writer's block. For each session, your editor will spend two hours on your project helping you brainstorm ideas and solutions and providing advice.
If you complete your draft without needing to use these sessions, then you can request editorial feedback on your manuscript and your editor will spend up to four hours on your book - but please note there may be a waiting list for editing.
What you'll do in this challenge:
Set your target word count and submit your work to your editor! (Valued at over AU$6000!)
Receive a weekly assessment of your progress. (Valued at over AU$1500!)
Identify and fix issues as they arise.
Use templates and trackers to make your writing a breeze.
Bonus 1: Access to the Action : Plan course for free! (Valued at AU$97)
Bonus 2: Stuck? Get writing again with up to two developmental strategy sessions with your editor via email. OR Finished early? Use your editoral sessions to receive feedback on your manuscript. (Valued at AU$500)
Requirements
Writing a book involves time and effort. You will need to invest in at least one writing session most days of the week in order to complete a manuscript. You will need to be prepared to edit this draft before thinking about publication. If you are looking for a quick and easy course, this is not the one for you. Your success is entirely up to you and is not guaranteed.
