I have an idea for a book I want to write!
(Sound familiar?)
People say this to me all the time, their eyes lit up by the thought of creating something they may have dreamed of their whole life. But then the waves of doubt set in. How do I know my idea is a good one? Would anyone read a book I wrote? I don’t even know where to start.
And so months, maybe years, pass by, and those beautiful ideas – ones that could literally change the world – stay undeveloped concepts.
The key to making it happen is to get clear before you get started. When you take the time to do this, you’ll find that your dream of a book can become a reality. You can stop talking about it and start doing it.
THE BOOK IN YOU is designed to help you finally dive in to the unwritten book in you!
It’s about:
- Getting clear about what you want to write and why you want to write it
- Gaining clarity around your specific concept, your “hook,” and your unique author POV
- Understanding where your idea fits in to the current marketplace
- Knowing who the audience for your book is
- Feeling empowered to take the next steps
Your idea, your perspective, your voice, and your message is unique to you. THE BOOK IN YOU is about clearing the fear and confusion around tackling your big writing goal so you can get your message out into the world! (Don’t you think it’s about time?)
The truth? No one else can write your book.
The Structure
THE BOOK IN YOU is a 4-part virtual, self-study class — four video lessons plus do-on-your-own exercises, each designed to bring you clarity and focus on whatever it is you’re yearning to write.
Class 1: The Big Idea
Is my idea a good one and worth pursuing? In this session, you’ll learn how to get clear on your idea, your “why,” your unique POV, and what you have to offer.
Class 2: The Audience
How do I know if this is something people will want to read? This session is about getting clear on the different audiences for your book – who they are and what they need.
Class 3: The Market
How do I know if my idea is unique enough to stand out? This session explores the competitive market for your book idea and helps you identify how your idea is different and why there is room for it in the world.
Class 4: Putting it All Together
What’s next? This video provides you with suggested strategies for sitting down and writing your book.
Bonus:

My favorite thing to do is empower others to tap into the part of them that believes it too.
And here’s what you need to know about me: I love, love, love working with writers and helping them bring their books to fruition.

What Others are Saying
“Debbie’s class exceeded my expectations on many levels. Actually, I jumped into it thinking I was pretty clear on what I was going to write about and why, and figured it would provide me with the kick in the pants to get the ball rolling. Well, get the ball rolling it did, but not until after some hard thought and gentle nudging to really consider such salient questions such as who is my reader? Who else writes on these topics? Why am I writing? Debbie helped clarify why and how I was writing.”
Lisa Dewey Wells, Wonder of Children
“I was impressed with Debbie’s class. It was smart and straightforward with realistic strategies to get your book idea from point A to B.”
