Hey there!

4 days until enrollment opens for Self-Publishing Studio!

(And remember, the product will only be available for sale next week—from Monday, May 25th to Sunday, May 31st. After that, it’ll be gone forever.)

Now, today I want to give you a book writing framework that will change the way you think about writing long form forever.

Here’s how it works in 5-steps :

Step 1: Spend a disproportionate amount of time thinking about the title (aka: the big idea).

Your book's Main Title/Subtitle is 80% of the work.

If you don’t have clarity in your title (if you don’t know what exactly you’re writing about), you aren’t going to have clarity in your book.

Said another way: if you can’t say it in 10 words, you aren’t going to be able to say it in 100, and you certainly won’t be able to say it in 1,000 or 10,000 words.

Step 2: Make a list of all the Main Points you want to make in your book.

If you can do this, with clarity, your book will be 90% done.

All a “book” (or any piece of long-form writing) is, is a collection of smaller, connected ideas. That’s it.

So, to make the writing process easier, wouldn’t it be helpful for you to have a list in front of you of all the ideas you want to make sure to cover inside your book?

Again: don’t start “writing” yet.

Instead, just list out the big ideas you want to make sure are somewhere in your book. And then, in what order.

Step 3: Under each Main Point, list out all the little sub-points.

If you can do this, with clarity, your book will be 95% done.

Instead of getting “into the writing,” take things one step further.

Under your primary Main Points, keep listing the smaller ideas you want to be sure to include within each one of these Main Points:

• What examples?
• What insights?
• What stories?
• What anecdotes?
• What quotes?

By taking the time to “brain dump” everything you want to say, you won’t have to sit there and wonder, “Should I say this first? Or that?”

Everything you want to say, in the right order, is now in front of you!

Now, all you have to do is write.

Step 4: Now just go down your list of Main Points, section by section.

If you can do all of this, with clarity, your book will be 99% done.

Because you did all the “thinking” work, first.

All your sub-points are your "notes" of what to write about, which means the writing can just flow—because you literally have the words right in front of you.

"Say this here."

Step 5: Do a final spelling/grammar read through.

Since you took the time to organize all your thoughts FIRST, by the time you "finish writing," you're done.

Give your book a once-over for spelling/grammar.

And you're 100% done.

You don’t want to be a linear writer. You want to be an organizational writer.

Which is exactly what we're going to show you how to do inside Self-Publishing Studio starting June 1st.

Linear writers waste a lot of time writing & rewriting the same things over and over again, trying to “get it right.” Organizational writers, on the other hand, don’t even bother with “the writing” until they know which puzzle pieces go where—which allows them to move 100x faster.

To become a prolific writer, you want to be the latter.

So if you’ve been thinking about publishing a book for some time, I highly recommend you hop on the waitlist.

PPS - Worried you’re not “qualified” to write a book?

We’re convinced everyone can write and publish a book.

You just need to “position yourself as an authority” in your industry/niche. How? By explaining “How To” do something—in your industry/niche!

And no, you don’t have to be an expert. You just need to be a few steps ahead of the people you’re trying to help.

And inside Self-Publishing Studio, we have everything you need to write, publish, and market your non-fiction book.

So, if you haven't joined the waitlist yet, now's the time.
