Many people who want to write a book never begin.

Many who do begin, struggle to actually publish. 

Self-doubt, loss of focus, and overwhelm can get in the way.

 

A Short-Read, Long-Impact Book* is the solution.

*A Short-Read, Long-Impact Book is a focused, useful 20,000-40,000-word book that busy people can read in a few hours, and implement what they learn soon after.

 

Why short beats long every time:

>  Your readers are switched-on people who don’t have time for lengthy theoretical discussions.

>  They are looking for practical solutions to a particular problem that you understand, so they can absorb the information quickly and put it into action right away.

>  A short, focused book respects their time while delivering maximum value—thus creating the lasting impact and loyal following that grows your business.

The result?

^  More people finish reading your book and implement what they learn.

^  You get more referrals and more readers who actually experience the transformation you promise.

^  Your book becomes a client magnet instead of a shelf decoration.

Here’s how short-read, long-impact books work for authors & readers:

Instead of a family counsellor writing ‘Your Guide to Parenting’ – a massive topic – they could write several short-read books focussing on easily-identified needs, so establishing their expertise in their preferred niches, e.g.:
⇒  ‘Tantrum Toolkit: Navigating Big Emotions in Little Bodies’
⇒  ‘Teens Decoded: Understanding the Adolescent Brain’
⇒  ‘Parenting Grown-Ups: Always Your Child, Never Your Responsibility’

If you want to work more closely with a coach to ensure your book will be built on a solid foundation, I offer two more in-depth coaching options, set out BELOW: the 4-week or 8-week options.

This SHORT, FOCUSSED 4-WEEK COACHING PROGRAM is designed to bring you clarity & excite your potential.

Sometimes we need the right questions to find the right answers – and another perspective to help us see the light ahead.

> Identify your book and business goals

You will clarify what you want your book to do for you and your business – open doors, attract ideal clients, establish your expertise?

Stop writing for everyone and start writing for someone. You’ll create a detailed profile of your perfect reader—the person you want to reach and assist, and attract as a potential client and/or advocate.

> Craft your core message

Your unique perspective is your competitive advantage. You’ll distill your experience into a memorable message that resonates deeply and spreads naturally.

> Plot your readers’ journey through the book

Decide on the change you want to offer to your readers through your pages

> Choose a possible book structure

You’ll select a possible framework that suits how you work best, and excites you because it’s a glimpse of how you can keep readers engaged from cover to cover.

 

INCLUDES 2 workbooks; three coaching calls; a simple breakdown of possible book structures, review & feedback of material, other resources

AUD $750 (or two monthly payments of $375)

YOUR 8-Week SHORT-READ PLANNING PROGRAM

This longer program includes the steps set out in Option 1 (above) AND takes you through to the writing stage.

INCLUDED – ALL OF STEP 1, PLUS… 

> Build your content framework

Identify how you want your book to ‘change’ your reader, and create a roadmap that ensures every chapter takes them closer to outcome they are looking for in your pages.

> Plan actionable chapters in detail

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

> Add implementation tools to assist your reader

Your book becomes even more valuable when readers can easily apply what they learn through worksheets, templates, and action guides that turn insights into results.

> Early marketing considerations

Identify what makes your approach different from other books in your space, and draft some marketing hooks, like cover blurb, angles, stories, and takeaways that will generate interest.

> Write two key chapter drafts

Find your writing voice and ensure your promise to the reader is obvious.

 

Includes blueprint worksheets, 5 coaching calls, review & feedback.

AUD $1200 or three monthly payments of $400

After you have planned your book, you can continue working with Bev or another writing coach as you develop your content and build your chapters.

Your book plan is thoroughly prepared, and you’re ready to dedicate time and discipline to get this book done.

> Write with clarity and purpose

No more writer’s block or endless revisions. With a clear plan in place, you’ll write with more confidence, knowing who it’s for, and why.

> Ensure reader engagement and impact

To keep readers turning pages and taking action, you’ll add compelling stories, practical examples, and clear next steps that create traction.

> Accountability to external deadlines

Stay on track with structured milestones and our regular check-ins. You’ll have the support and gentle pressure needed to cross the finish line.

> Feedback as you progress

Get expert guidance when you need it most. Regular feedback sessions ensure your book stays focused, engaging, and aligned with your goals.

> Deal with the doubts and keep going

Inevitably, you will question your own ideas as you write, and wonder why you should bother to continue. Your coach will give you the belief you need, and help you though the doubt or discouragement. 

 

There is some flexibility in the way we can work together to get the job done, because we all work differently. I will structure the fee to suit.

After you have written your book, you can work with our book production team – or engage another team or individuals to bring your book to life.
