Follow the Five Step Plan
- Identify - the kind of book you plan to write? Novel, memoir or non-fiction
- Map it out - the overview - chapter by chapter, story by story, year by year
- Write every day - becoming an author is all about words on paper - talking about a book is not writing a book
- Edit - several times, first by you then by a professional - delete words, stories or characters who do not serve the narrative of the book
- Publish - find an agent or self publish

Your choice - to write alone, with a peer group, with a book coach
- Writing alone allows you to create and only share the work when you are ready
- You can also work with a peer group - in person or on line - people who will listen to you work, encourage your efforts and expect you to do the same for their writing
- One on one coaching - a book coach uses their experience to motivate, guide and mentor you. They offer writing advice as well as support when the going gets tough
