This is not a normal author programme;
it is a deeply cathartic process; it is a rite of passage.

Why choose this programme?
Elders have been telling stories for tens of thousands of years, which means our brains are hardwired to engage with the narratives we read and hear. This makes storytelling extremely effective when used with purpose and a clear direction.
The goal of this programme is primarily to offer you a cathartic process that will enable you to integrate all the parts of your being, and then to share your story so that it can empower others to continue in their own path of transformation.
No one has had your beginning, has your middle, or will have your end. You are truly unique and there is no one else in the world like you.
Setting your intention and your why
Why are you being called to write this book? What excites you about this book idea? Who does this book serve and why?
Remembrance and acceptance
This module supports you to get clear on the story of your life, to truly create space to remember the depth of what has happened to you in your life and move into acceptance of it, so that you can move forward and create your core message and story bank.
Creation of your core message: crafting your signature story
Establishing your core message is one of the most important things you can do to get started on your book-writing journey. Your core message will give you clarity about which stories to tell and which lessons to teach.
Story bank chapters and the hero's journey
Our storybook forms the basis of our book. Stories are more than just currency; they are footprints, chronicles of our collective human experience, exchanges, lessons, memories and maps.
Storytelling as an art
From story structures to style advice, this module covers the storytelling techniques that make readers laugh, weep, gasp and stay up past their bedtimes.
Understanding your reader and tonality
What do your readers really desire? Do they want to relieve their guilt over judging others? Do they want to feel happier? 'Tone' refers to the underlying attitude that is expressed through everything an author writes.
Editing and cover design
You work with an editor to refine and clarify and tighten your book manuscript, and with a designer at The Good House to create your custom-made book cover. You also work with a book interior designer to align the look of your book to your personal brand and create a magical bespoke design.
Distribution and PR
We take you through the distribution processes, mapping out your timeline for sale and pre-sale, getting your book live on Amazon.
Personal brand and marketing your book
Personal branding is the process of defining and promoting what you stand for as an individual. Your personal brand is a culmination of the experiences, skills and values that differentiate you. We discuss the assets of your new book and how it supports you to further deliver your magic and show up in the world.
