You know you want to write a book, so why does it feel so hard to sit down and do the writing? And once you get in a flow, why is it so difficult to stay in flow? And once you’ve finished writing, how do edit and revise so you know it’s a good book, that you’re proud to sell?

NONFICTION writers, this is a STEP-BY-STEP guide that walks you through how to write a book. These steps will show you:

- the myths about writing that make us feel like we’re not “good enough” to be an author,

- how to develop the good writing routines and a solid timeline,

- how to write a first draft and revise the draft,

- how to bring in beta readers and incorporate their feedback, and

- finally, how to pull it all together into a finished manuscript.

When we’re writing a book, we need inspiration, and we need the “how-to” pieces that we were never taught in school. Start Writing Your Book Today provides both. Over the last 10 years as a writing coach, Morgan has developed a blend of mindset and mechanics to help authors through feeling stuck and into power writing through their books. In this book, Morgan shares her methods with you, so that you can step up and become the writer you know you’re meant to be.

Each step of how to write your book is laid out for you. No more excuses. You’ll be ready to finally start writing your book.

Great details in sections. Narrator's voice is feminine, nice. Cadence good. I didn't need some of the pep-talks. I fear this audio book could be much shorter than the paper book.

Get the ball rolling on that book!

When I first read about the importance of reading books while I am writing, I thought, “This is a crazy idea. How can you read while you are trying to write your first novel?”
I’ am starting to appreciate how true that is, especially when you’re spending months researching instead of “putting your ❤️ on the page” writing.
I got more insights on my lack of productivity. One example is simply setting reachable and productive goals in a timely manner.

Thank you Morgan, Grace.

Great insight! This was my first audio book so it just went a little faster than desired for taking notes. Once I get the hang of things I'm sure the clip feature will become my friend.
