PLAN.  WRITE.  PUBLISH.*

*Your 10-Month Book Creation Program

taking you from unformed idea to published author, with books in hand

You’ve spent years developing deep expertise in your field. You’ve helped countless clients, solved complex problems, and accumulated insights that could genuinely improve other people’s lives.
Now you’re ready to capture that knowledge in a book, not to boost your ego or chase bestseller status, but because you know what you’ve learned deserves a wider audience.
This comprehensive program takes you from the initial spark of an idea to published author with a quality ‘short-read, long-impact’ business asset in hand—in just 10 months.

 

Yes, there is a lot of information on this page, so take your time and absorb it all – or shortcut things by arranging a call with me, and I will give you an hour of my time to go through it with you.

 

 

Why this Program Will Work for You

$

You’re confident in your specialised area, but you recognise that writing a strategic, reader-focused book requires different skills.

$

You might feel overwhelmed by the gap between the valuable insights in your head and the polished books you see people launching online.

$

You need a partner who understands both the substance of what you’re trying to say and the craft of saying it well. Someone who can help you shape your ideas into a focused, impactful book that truly serves the readers who need it most.

$

This program is different. You’ll work individually with Bev Ryan (accredited non-fiction book coach, developmental editor and book production manager) as your one expert guide, following her proven process, with access to a trusted, professional behind-the-scenes team with the editing and design skills you require. You receive continuous support from your first brainstorming session to holding your finished book in your hands, feeling confident with what’s next.

Here’s Your 10-Month Transformation Journey

MONTH 1: DISCOVERY PHASE 

Build the strong foundation that makes everything else easier

Identify your book and business goals

We’ll develop the firm foundation that turns your book from a nice-to-have into a must-have business tool. Together, we’ll clarify exactly how your book will become an integral part of your business growth, open doors, and attract ideal clients and opportunities.

Define your ideal reader & the transformation you offer them

Stop writing for everyone and start writing for someone. We’ll create a detailed profile of your perfect reader—the person whose life will be transformed by your message and who will become your biggest advocate.

Craft your core message

Your unique perspective is your competitive advantage. We’ll distil years of experience into a compelling, memorable message that resonates deeply and spreads naturally.

Choose your book structure

No more confusion about how you can best bring your knowledge together and structure it in book form. With some help, you will select the perfect framework that showcases your expertise while keeping readers engaged from cover to cover. There are more than 10 formats that work perfectly for short-read long-impact books.

Identify foundational requirements

Will you set up your own publisher imprint and logo? Do you need new author photos, website pages (or a new site), and/or other assistance to prepare for the launch of your book? [Some specific costs like photos or web pages are not included in this program, but we can assist you or refer you to the professionals you need.]

Each chapter will deliver real value that your readers can implement immediately. You’ll design content that creates quick wins while building toward lasting change.

What Makes ‘From Idea to Book in Hand’ Unique

Business-First Approach

This isn’t just about becoming an author—it’s about creating a strategic business asset. Every decision we make considers how your book will serve your business goals, attract ideal clients, and establish your authority.

Focus on Short-Read, Long-Impact

Your book will be designed for busy professionals who want actionable insights they can implement immediately. We’re not writing 300-page tomes that sit unread on shelves—we’re creating focused, powerful books that readers actually finish and implement.

Seamless Integration

Each phase builds naturally on the last. No gaps, no momentum loss, no wondering ‘what’s next?’ You’ll move smoothly from discovery to planning to writing to publishing with one point of contact and continuous support from Bev and her trusted team of experts.

Done-With-You Support

You’re not alone in this. Working closely with Bev Ryan, you’ll have expert guidance at every step, from planning to writing to publication. Think of it as having a seasoned publishing partner and friends in your corner for 10 months straight.

Clear Completion Path

With clear milestones, regular accountability, and continuous support, you’ll have everything you need to actually finish. No more abandoned manuscripts. No more ‘someday I’ll write that book.’ (Disclaimer: Your results will reflect your own dedication and contribution to your project.)

All-Inclusive Package

Everything you need is included—no surprise costs, no ‘oh, that’s extra’ moments. From planning sessions to editing to cover design to print copies, it’s all covered. (Unless you deviate from the inclusions – then we will chat about any extra costs involved.)

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I fall behind on writing?

Life happens. Our bi-weekly check-ins help us catch issues early and adjust your timeline as needed. We build in some flexibility while maintaining momentum toward your 10-month goal.

Can I complete this program in less than 10 months?

Yes. You may have more time than others to focus on this project. You may have begun work on a manuscript that you now want improve and finalise, rather than beginning from scratch.

Do I own all the rights to my book?

Absolutely. You retain 100% ownership of your intellectual property. The book is yours—the ideas, the content, the rights, everything.

What if I've already started writing?

Perfect! We’ll assess what you have, integrate it into our framework, and keep moving forward. No work goes to waste.

Can I take longer than 10 months?

The program is designed for 10 months because that timeline balances momentum with sustainability. However, if you need an extension, we can discuss options.

What happens after the 10 months?

You’ll have a published book and all the tools to use it effectively. If you’d like ongoing marketing support or help with your next book, we can explore that separately.

Will my book be available everywhere?

Yes. We’ll set up distribution so your book is available on Amazon, other major retailers, and can be ordered by bookstores.

Are the payment options flexible?

Payments can be paused if services are paused due to unforeseen circumstances.

Refunds for partial payments already made are not available if a client discontinues.

In the case of full payment at commencement, a partial refund may be negotiated depending on circumstances and the extent of services already delivered.

Ready to Transform Your Expertise Into Your Most Powerful Business Asset?

Your knowledge has the power to change lives and grow your business—but only if it reaches the right people in the right way.

In 10 months, you could be holding your finished book in your hands, ready to share it with clients, prospects, and your professional network.

Or you could still be thinking about it.

The only difference is the decision you make today.

 

Let’s make it happen together.

During this 45-minute session, we’ll:

♦ Explore your book idea and business goals

♦ Assess whether ‘From Idea to Author’ is the right fit

♦ Map out what your book journey could look like

♦ Answer any questions you have about the program

 No pressure, no obligation—just a conversation about your vision and how we might bring it to life together.
