Throughout the writing process, we anchor back to the concept or vision of what our story will be; however, that vision may get lost, our minds may change, we may sway off course from workshop comments, or something else. But what’s important is that you know what story you want to tell, how that story will be shared, and what the experience for your readers will be.
As an editor and publisher, I often coach writers to bring out their vision into the book we’re publishing. I want to provide that same coaching to help you fulfill the vision of your story from concept-to-creation. In this workshop, our focus is on building the plan for your book:
- What are the basics of your story? What’s it about? Who are the key players?
- What are the necessary ingredients of your story? What must it feel like? What form?
- Be sure to identify what you’re not willing to compromise on. This is major.
- Is a book the only format your story will take? Have you considered other ways it could come to life? (e.g., digital book, publication in a journal, script, movie, audio recording, etc.)
- Where do you want to publish? Anywhere in mind?
- Think about your readers: What is the experience you want them to have? When they put your book down, what do you want them to think, feel, or do?
- How do you want to market your book?
- How do you NOT want your book marketed?
- What’s your greatest wish for your book?
