SHORT-READ, LONG-IMPACT BOOKS™
B
Your Personal 6-Week Book Planning Program:
Begin a short-read, long-impact book™
The most successful business books aren’t the thickest ones on the shelf—they’re the ones that actually get read and bring change.
A Short-Read, Long-Impact Book™ is a focused, 15,000-30,000 word book that busy professionals can read in 2-3 hours and implement immediately. While others are writing 200-page tomes that overwhelm readers, you’ll create a laser-focused solution that transforms lives.
Why short beats long every time:
Your readers are successful, ambitious people who don’t have time for lengthy theoretical discussions. They need practical solutions they can absorb quickly and put into action right away. A short, focused book respects their time while delivering maximum value—creating the lasting impact and loyal following that grows your business.
The result? Higher completion rates, better implementation, more referrals, and readers who actually experience the transformation you promise. Your book becomes a client magnet instead of shelf decoration.
In our attention-deficit world, the authors who make long-lasting ripples are those who deliver focused value, not overload.
In just 6 weeks in this short-read, long-impact book™ program, you’ll plan a book that busy, successful people actually read cover to cover. A book that positions you as the go-to expert, attracts premium clients, and opens doors to speaking opportunities and partnerships.
Your Short-Read, Long-Impact Book™ will:
♦ Be absorbed by your ideal clients (not abandoned halfway through)
♦ Have a lasting impact on your readers, and your business
♦ Position you for higher fees and better opportunities
♦ Generate referrals and warm introductions
♦ Become your 24/7 business development tool
♦ Be a faster project than a lengthy book, and probably more effective
Stop writing doorstoppers. Start creating valuable assets.
“When I was about to embark on the journey of writing my first book I knew I needed some major help. Bev provided a very clear book planning framework which I used to first shape the contents of my book, and later to ensure that this content was relevant, practical and on point. I then published ‘The Teaching Game‘ after signing with the publishing company Amba Press, who were very impressed with my book blueprint and snapped it up only nine months after initially working with Bev. I have since published my second book, ‘The Leadership Game‘, with Amba Press after using the same blueprint and Bev’s assistance before I began writing.”
The Short-Read, Long-Impact Book™ Program
Your 6-Week Book Planning Journey
1: Purpose & Business Alignment: Define your book’s deeper purpose and connect it to your business goals. You’ll clarify exactly how your book will serve your professional vision and growth strategy.

3: Your Book’s Point & Transformation Promise: Articulate your book’s central argument and map out the complete transformational journey you’ll take your readers on – from struggle to success.
4: Structure & Chapter Strategy Choose the perfect framework for your content and create your detailed chapter outline. You’ll know exactly what goes in each chapter and why.
5: Title, Subtitle & Table of Contents: Craft compelling titles that make your book irresistible to your ideal readers and create a table of contents that guides them seamlessly through your solution.
6: Your Complete Book Blueprint: Finalise your comprehensive book plan with everything mapped out – from opening hook to final call-to-action. You’ll leave with a roadmap that makes writing straightforward and focused.

(Produced by Bev Ryan at Smart Women Publish)
“All coaching sessions were very respectful, everyone’s ideas were listened to and advised on, and I thought the pace of the group program with Bev was just right. Bev guides you every step of the way and makes suggestions but does not demand that you do what she says. Even though I am a long way from producing my ‘memoir with a message’ for other women, it is taking shape in my mind because of the ‘roadmap’ Bev provided.”
—Colleen Cartwright, Emeritus Professor, Chair of the SCU Human Research Ethics Committee

I invested time and money in attending Bev’s Book Planning Program because her personality and willingness to assist were things I responded to. It was definitely good value for money, and the Book Blueprint helped me work out the structure I was looking for in my book. Bev provided all of the information and resources we needed, as well as follow-up support. I am very pleased to have participated and grateful I could make it. Your guidance is amazing! Thank you.
“After I engaged Bev and began working with her Book Blueprint framework, the book plan soon took on a definite structure, and as I wrote, I felt my book becoming real. I also realised how important it was to dive deeper and really write for the reader – not just at them. For the six months we worked together, Bev was like a trusted friend as I wrote each section of my book, and nudged and guided me in the direction I needed to go, without judgement. My book is now ready for editing and as I enter this publishing stage, I know I have written a book I am proud of, and one that I feel truly embodies what I want my readers to not only learn, but also incorporate into their lives.”
