Deidre, I love this idea so much, but before I go down the rabbit hole of whether I can do it or not...is there still space? :)

Emily, there IS space. And I would LOVE to have you!

This sounds like gold. What if…I have a tiny seed of an idea? Should I wait to have a better grasp on where I’m taking it? Or will there be space for that when we meet?

Taylor—yes!!! There WILL be space for that when we meet! We’ll start by learning how to take that tiny seed and hone it into something clear & unique, and then learn how to write an elevator pitch (one sentence summary) that will act as the guiding vision statement for your book!

When I meet with clients with tiny seed ideas, I always recommend that the first thing they do is write a book proposal, because it forces you to coax out the idea with clarity & organization even before you begin writing the actual chapters. That way, when you go to write your book, you have the blueprints there to guide you. It’s a beautiful gift to give yourself! 🙌

Would LOVE to have you join us and see what this tiny seed could become.
