Do you think, “There’s no way I’m writing my own book.”

If you are like most would-be authors, getting started is the hardest part of writing your own book.

For others it’s the belief your teachers drilled into you that you aren’t any good at writing.

You aren’t in school anymore! And there’s nothing wrong with getting assistance with the parts of writing that challenge you. Do you have ADD and find it hard to focus?

Denise gave me simple assignments.

This style works great for people who have trouble focusing. I size your assignments so it’s easier to stay on track.

Are you saying, “I don’t have time for writing my own book.”

I started writing my own book one step at a time.

That’s the best approach. Stop looking at a book as a huge project that requires years to complete. Dedicate just a few minutes a day to writing your book. With a coach at your side, you’ll find the process easier than you expected. Having someone help you develop goals helps propel you into starting, then inspires you to keep going.

Won’t people say I cheated?

If a carpenter uses a nail gun instead of a hammer, is the house still a house? The best writers still need editors. When you work with a writing coach/editor, you are connecting yourself with someone who has the talent of taking ordinary communication and turning it into extraordinary communication.

I’ve heard so many speakers who rivet you to your seat, yet that same material transcribed and printed for reading falls flat.

What makes the difference? Written communication is different from verbal communication. The ability to write is a different skill. Working with a writing coach/editor bridges the gap between speaking talent and writing talent.

Do you want to get started?

Some of my clients have spoken their entire book! They didn’t “write” a word. They just recorded their thoughts or spoke to a computer. Then I came through and dealt with the grammar, spelling and punctuation. I trimmed out the repetitions used so often in speech. I put things into their proper order. I took good material and made it better. My client’s tell me, “You work miracles.” I’m just doing what I love to do.

Writing your own book is so easy, especially in this age where the CreateSpace print on demand option sets you free from a huge printing investment.

Not only will a CreateSpace book earn money. It will help you fill your cash funnel.

There is a book inside everyone. Yet, unleashing that book has never been easy for most of us. Even when we are capable of writing well, it is still a a major effort to organize our thoughts, develop an outline, gather all the right information and then find the time to do all that writing.

Not any longer.

Dear Future Author:

More than 80% of us want to write a book. The problem in the past has been only a few of us have had the dedication to actually get the job done. The biggest obstacle for most of us is time. Where do you find it?

The next obstacle is cost. Have you ever looked into hiring a ghost writer? The cost seems hard to justify when the big box publishers make it so hard to get a foot in the door.

CreateSpace has changed all that!

• You don’t have to hire an agent.
• You don’t have to interest a publisher.
• You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars to print your own book.
• You don’t have to spend hours and hours marketing your book. You can choose to do this to accelerate sales, yet it’s no longer essential that you line up TV appointments and book signing tours to try to sell all those boxes of books in your garage. Amazon’s built-in marketing design takes on some of the heavy lifting for you.

CreateSpace makes it easy to accomplish some of your goals for a reasonable investment!

• Build your reputation as an expert in your niche
• Attract new clients
• Develop a fan base
• Create instant brand recognition
• Establish authority and respect instantly
• Get people talking

That all sounds great, right?

I can hear you already…Yes, but…

• “It will be HARD to write my own book.”
• “It will COST too much to write my own book.”
• “I’d NEVER know where to start writing my own book.”
• “My English is so poor. I just couldn’t write anything.”
• “I know nothing about publishing on CreateSpace.”
• “I’m not computer savvy enough to handle the formatting and uploading and all that.”

YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THESE THINGS!

You don’t have to face hours of energy draining time trying to pull a book together, when your time is better used for other profitable things. We all know that the ability to write does not equal the ability to enjoy writing. Just having the skill doesn’t eliminate the tediousness.

That’s why I’m offering you a solution that eliminates 50 – 90% of the effort. You provide your expertise in your chosen niche. I provide my expertise as a ghost writer, writing coach and editor.

THE INCREDIBLE CREATESPACE OPPORTUNITY

When I started ghost writing as a career, there were only two opportunities I could offer my clients. Find a printer and self-publish, or try to find a publisher who was interested in my client’s manuscript.

I’ve always loved the scope and size of book projects. The greatest challenge was assuring my clients that they would be able to find a publisher. I had done my research, and I knew how hard it was to break into the hardcover market. Even if my client hired an agent, there was no guarantee that the book would find a publisher.

Self-publishing was so rarely cost effective, that I hated to encourage my clients to turn there. It didn’t matter if I turned their story into a best seller. I didn’t have the time to be a writer and marketer at the same time. And most of my clients weren’t into sales either.

That’s why CreateSpace is so exciting!

Finally, there’s a way to get books on the market without having to go through the old guard. CreateSpace sells:

• Books that publishers won’t look at because the “market is saturated”
• Books that publishers won’t look at because the “market share isn’t large enough”
• Books that are every bit as good as those being printed
• Books that are full of valuable information
• Books that should be published

As long as your book isn’t covering a super-saturated market (affiliate marketing is one), publishing a CreateSpace book is one of the best ways available to stand out in your field. It always amazes me that the Chicken Soup for the Soul series started out as one self-published book. None of the big-box publishers were interested!

WANT AN EASY WAY TO CREATE YOUR CREATESPACE BOOK?

Now, I’m making it as easy as a few interviews or a series of carefully chosen steps to produce your CreateSpace book. You can choose from several formats.

• Question and Answer Format. What are the questions you are always hearing? Your answers become a book.
• Topic Format. You choose your topic. We discuss the competition. We find an angle that isn’t in use.
• Insider’s Secret Format. Your book focuses on the things you have learned as an insider in your industry.
• Problem Resolution Format. Your book looks at a problem (or problems) and provides solutions to those problems.
• Experience Format. Your book focuses on experiences you have had that offer valuable insight for others.

WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE A GHOST WRITER, WRITING COACH/EDITOR?

What is your time worth? The old saying “time is money” really applies here. If you are making $100K per year, your time is worth around $48 an hour. Now it takes at least 120 hours to create a 100 page book for the average person. So that means you have to trade $5760 of earning potential to produce that book.

That’s $5760 in LOST CASH.

Now, I don’t know if you are like me, but I’d rather spend my time do what I love doing (which happens to be coaching writers and editing). Unless spending 120 hours writing sounds like fun for you, then hiring a writing coach makes sense.

For me, working with the written word is fun, even if it isn’t “easy.” The work is intense, no doubt, but I thrive under it. I love both the writing and editing, and the designing side of producing publishable books. And best of all I get the thrill of showing the world what a STAR you are.

WHY SHOULD YOU WRITE THAT BOOK?

You may be asking yourself, “Why should I hire a writing coach to work on my book with me?”

• Do you want to distinguish yourself from the competition?
• Do you want to build your credibility?
• Do you want to attract new business?
• Do you want be respected as an authority?
• Do you want to get people talking?
• Do you want to make a difference?

Look at your book as one of the most powerful business cards you could present when you approach potential customers. Your book could be the tool that propels your career forward. Your book could even open up a whole new career!

“Published Author” … it says something about you.

WILL YOU CHOOSE TO BECOME A PUBLISHED AUTHOR?

There are three paths you can take.

Do nothing. You will never know what opportunities you missed, yet I can understand if you think the time, energy, and possible cost may not seem worth it.

Do it yourself. You may eventually get the job done, and that’s great. Just be prepared for it to take months. Then depending on your writing skills, you may still need to hire someone to proof-read and edit your book. A well-written book accomplishes so much (and it brings in some income). A poorly written book will hurt your reputation, even if you do sell some copies.

Let someone else do it for you. Let me do the heavy lifting. I handle all the difficult stuff—developing the outline, formatting the book for CreateSpace, helping you share all the information you have trapped inside to ensure your book delivers a message that will wow the competition.

I haven’t had a client contact me yet, that didn’t have a book inside them. I just love helping a client find it.

BENEFITS MY CLIENTS HAVE EXPERIENCED FROM PUBLISHING THEIR OWN BOOKS

• They have been able to attract clients who are prepared to pay higher fees because their book has already provided value, so their ability to follow through on promises is already confirmed.
• They have been invited to speaking engagements which magnetically attract even more customers and clients.
• They have attracted loyal customers, clients and fans who are interested in the products or services they offer.
• They have quickly established branding and often created market awareness that wasn’t there before because their book has introduced something new and exciting.
• They have been able to command the respect of their peers and colleagues because they are seen as authorities. (Some very famous individuals are dyslexic, but do they know their stuff!).
• They have been able to light the torch of word-of-mouth advertising because their book serves as the ultimate business introduction.
• They have been able to use their book as the starting point for providing additional products and services.

Do you still doubt that getting your own book published via CreateSpace, as soon as possible, is worth the investment? It truly is an investment—an investment where you continue to focus your energies where it is most efficient to do so while your book is working for you 24/7. Never resting. Never having to take a break.

I’m Now Recognized as an Expert

Denise was a real professional to work with. She made sure I had all the right information in my 119 page book to cover an area in continuous process improvement I’ve become really good at applying in the workplace. This Kindle book has already boosted my reputation as a continuous improvement expert since it was launched last month. Paul D.

Writing Coach Book Writing Experience

Freeing the Book You Have Inside

This option is the best choice for someone who wants to develop their writing skills. It also works effectively for anyone who has with voice recognition software. I’ve found that clients who are computer literate, but keyboard challenged, also like working with a digital pen, such as the IRISnotes pen which turns handwritten notes into editable text.

Heart of Superman

The book Heart of Superman used this model. It began with a book review of a manuscript in progress. Then I gave the author specific assignments to help bring the book to life. This author had a story to tell. He just didn’t know how to bring it to life. He wrote about conversations. I turned them into dialog. He couldn’t decide whether he was in the past or the present. I sorted that out.

Breaking the Box

The book Breaking the Box was a fun project. The author came to me with nine pages. He knew what he wanted to write about, but he couldn’t figure out how to expand those nine pages into more content. He felt his writing style was too technical and stilted.

After reading his outline and the pages he had, I suggested that he focus on one subject for the entire book. I got him talking about breaking the box using one angle he understood very well and had used successfully in his career as a student of continuous process improvement. I helped him tap his personal well of information. Over the next several months, Paul wrote some compelling material.

Every time he’d stall in the writing process, I would give him a specific assignment. “Give me an example.” “Show me how this works.” “When does this method not work?” Nine pages grew to 119.

“Can I  Write My Own Book?”

The truth is no one knows your stuff better than you do. No one can share your story more vividly than you can. If you don’t believe that, discover what Jose did. I took a writing style that was dull and narrative and shook it up without losing Jose’s voice. It’s amazing what changing the verb tense can do! He actually added some content after he received the first CreateSpace proof. And it was great! I barely had to edit it. He’d caught the vision of what good writing looks like.

On both of these projects the client set the pace. They determined what the publication goal was. They adapted the pace of the project to their finances.

That’s my working model. It’s my goal to provide a flexible service that keeps the book writing process rewarding in every way. You set the pace.

I tailor my CreateSpace coaching experience to you.

The Interview Based Book Writing Experience

Your CreateSpace Book could start with a phone interview.

Do you have a phobia with typing? We can talk your book out. For example, we could decide that you’d like to do a question and answer style of book. Can you talk on the phone? I’m using this model right now to write a book with a former modeling agent.

All you have to do is answer questions. They won’t be privacy invading questions. They’ll be the kinds of questions you want potential clients or customers to be asking you. They’ll be the kinds of questions you like to answer.

There aren’t any tricks involved. I’m not out to embarrass you. I know you have 90% of the answers I need, so it’s my job to ask the questions that get those answers. You can even tell me what I need to be asking you if I miss something important. Don’t worry. I don’t have an ego.

It’s as simple as ring… ring… “Hi, this is Denise with Writing as a Ghost. Is this a good time to interview you for your CreateSpace book?” And don’t worry if the timing of my call is off for you. I’m happy to schedule your phone interviews for a time that is convenient.

How many interviews will it take?

It all depends on how long you want your book to be and how well you prepare for each interview. In today’s time-crunched society, a 110-120 page book is often just right. So you are looking at anywhere from five to ten one-hour interviews. These will be complemented with:

• Pre-interview strategy sessions
• Question sheets for you to review pre-interview
• Follow-up questions after interview transcription

With this method you don’t have to dedicate three or four hours in one slot. For one thing, it’s hard to stay focused for three hours (or even find three hours at once). I encourage breaking the interviews up into manageable portions, usually a chapter at a time. We just pick up where we left off.

Now, I know that five to ten hours seems like quite a lot of time. Just remember that it would have taken you at least 120 hours to write your book on your own. Committing to interviewing time is nothing in comparison.

I start putting your CreateSpace book together.

Once I’m through “picking your brain”, you get to use your valuable time pursuing your own interests. I may drop you an email from time to time if I have a question and to give you progress reports, but other than that everything will be going on in the background.

I work with a transcriptionist to put all the interview material into the word processor. Then I reorganize information and edit it to fit the book style you have chosen.Before I get too far into the process, I’ll send you the opening chapter or two to confirm everything is shaping up as you expected.

I create a cover. And I prepare a CreateSpace file. I do all the hard work.

In most cases an interview based CreateSpace book will be ready for the printer within six weeks. You don’t have to be a CreateSpace expert. All you have to have is an Amazon.com account. I’ll walk you through the upload process if you prefer not to provide me with your account information.

Whether You Write or I Interview You

Here’s Exactly What You Get

You get a 100% completed CreateSpace book, with your name on the cover and your picture and biography on the back. This is your own book. You are the author. I only ask that my name appear on the copyright page, giving me credit as editor and designer.

Your book will be from 110 to 125 pages long.

You get a fully developed professional web site for your book. You can use this web site to promote your book, your products and services, or your current business. The site will be fully optimized and ready for the search engines.

While you are using your CreateSpace book to nurture leads and strengthen your market presence, think about how little you had to do to become a printed author.

You didn’t have to do all the hard work. No editing, proofreading, page layout and design, no manuscript development, no cover creation. I took care of most of that.

You didn’t have to fuss with the fiddly stuff. No adjusting the margins, fixing page numbers, adding page headers, choosing fonts and type sizes, laying out pages, creating CreateSpace compatible files.

By now you are asking yourself, “Okay, how much will this cost?” If you’ve done any research into ghost writing services, you may already be expecting $8000 to $10,000.

Stop and think about it. If you were doing this yourself, you’d probably be spending 3-4 months between writing the book and getting the website up. Very easily you’d be spending more than $7000 of your valuable time between both endeavors (unless you are a website expert already).

Instead, you work with a professional who gets the book to you within a time schedule that you control (though never less than six weeks) and delivers it with an SEO optimized website for a manageable investment of your time. Instead of more than 120 hours away from family, friends and business, you invest quality, focused time on your book. No more writer’s block. No more staring at the computer screen wondering what to do.

While I believe the quality you will get from your CreateSpace book is worth $10,000, I’m not going charge that much. I’m going to keep my price where you have a real potential for recovering every penny invested in it.

I’m going to let you in on the incredible secret other clients have discovered.

YOUR CREATESPACE BOOK WILL PAY FOR ITSELF.

This might seem impossible, but it’s absolutely true. Let me prove it –-

Many of the people who contact me are professionals. It’s quite likely you are one, too. It doesn’t matter what your specialty is. You probably already know how important the “lifetime value” of your customers is to the health of your business.

You also know what it means to your bottom line to generate new business, new leads…It means growth.

So look, let’s crunch some numbers. Let’s assume you have four new clients come to you, each paying you $2,000. That’s $8,000 of new revenue.

What stimulated this new business?

YOUR BOOK DID IT!

All you need is for your book to “create” three new $2000 customers, and your CreateSpace book will pay for itself. Now, that’s a smart investment.

Does that sound a little optimistic? Obviously some businesses don’t attract $2000 customers. And not everyone is making $48 an hour. And these are factors I encourage you to consider before you decide to invest in your CreateSpace book. At the same time, I encourage you to consider the following facts:

• Published authors magnetically attract opportunities. Why should your time constraints or lack of writing skills prevent you from becoming a published author?
• Your CreateSpace book will earn passive income. Each time you sell a CreateSpace book you keep the profits. Forget 3 and 5% royalties from the big-box publishers. Why not profit 30% on every sale?
• So, even if you pay $5,000 to have your CreateSpace book created, you’ll still be “in the money” (not out of it) because of the new clients and book profits you will attract.

It pays for itself.

If you’ve ever wished you could leave more of an impression that just a business card this is what you need to jump start your career.

If you’d like to start generating “eternal” book royalties as an additional source of income, then your need to publish your own book.

If you want to be able to say you are a published author — including all the bragging rights that go with it! — then now is the time to make this life-changing investment.

OK, so what is the bottom line investment?

I won’t charge you $10,000.

I won’t charge you $8,000.

I won’t even charge you $5,000.

My initial rollout investment price is only…

 

$2500.00

But I won’t be able to continue offering this price for long. Demand for my services is growing.

Not quite sure you want to make the commitment to such a large investment?

I can’t say I blame you. That’s why if you check the drop-down menu you will see I’ve given you more than one option.

I’ve discovered that not everyone wants to commit to a ghost writing and coaching relationship with someone they’ve never met. Many of my clients dip their toes in the process first.

Would you like to discuss your project with me first? I’d be happy to.

1. Let’s discuss which type of book you want and where you are in the writing process if you’ve already started.
2. I may recommend a manuscript review.
3. I’ll send you on a research mission. I want you to be sure your book has market potential before you spend any money.

I want you to feel comfortable working with me. I want you to recognize the value of what I have to offer, and I want to be sure I can offer the value you deserve. Sometimes I recognize that I’m not a good fit for you. I want to be honest about that.

If you choose “33% Deposit to Get Started,” here’s what you can expect.

1. I’ll draft an initial set of rough questions based on our initial communication. Feel free to add any questions you think I have missed.
2. Depending on the model you choose, you will either answer the questions via email or a Word document, or we will schedule an interview.
3. I’ll then finalize the outline and send it for your approval.

By the time I’ve done this, you should be feeling comfortable working with me. Only then will I ask for–

The next “33% deposit after interview and outline.”

Now, I will begin working on your book in earnest. If you choose the interview model, my transcriptionist will transcribe the recordings I make during the interviews. Then from there on out, you can be assured your book will have my personal attention.

I usually give my clients an opportunity to see how things are going after the first chapter is completed. This allows you to affirm that I am retaining your unique voice. My goal is to make your CreateSpace book sound like you wrote it.

Time to Start Building an SEO optimized website.

Also, at the 50% completion stage, we will finalize the book’s title. It will play a key role in setting up your marketing package, which includes your marketing website, a peek at an extract from your CreateSpace book,

Amazon does a great job of marketing for you, yet it would be foolish to overlook the value of your own SEO optimized website. You need to promote your book yourself as well. With the package I’ve put together, you get a real head start on marketing your book on the internet.

I use WordPress for two reasons. 1) It’s an easy platform to work with. 2) It’s so easy to start blogging about your book. Every blog can be reposted on quality article sites, such as EzineArticles.com and ArticlesBase.com.

You will also like the multi-media social bar I add as a standard feature on your website. That way your site is leveraging the advantages of social media.

The Final Deposit

I ask for the final deposit when I have the book ready. As soon as I receive the deposit, I send your book to an independent proof reader to ensure that my familiarity with the book hasn’t blinded me to spelling and grammar errors in it.

After this proof, I deliver your 1st draft. This will be as near perfect as possible, yet I always give my clients a chance to tweak the contents of their book. You may catch errors that both the proof-reader overlooked and I overlooked. I expect you to think of things you’d like to add and to find things you’d like to remove. It’s all part collaborating to make sure your CreateSpace book creates the impression you want to make.

After we’ve agreed that everything is right, I’ll upload the CreateSpace PDF and submit all the information for your book for you unless you prefer to do this yourself.

When you receive your proof copy, you still have another chance to make changes. I’m not through until things are publication ready.

Are you ready to write your own book?

It could be the best investment you ever make in your professional future.
