You've got tons of content and stories that your people love.
And you know it's time to put all that into a book!
But something gets lost in translation when you try to put it on the page.
Or maybe you've sitting up late at night writing page after page, wondering how you're going to decide what goes where when it comes to fitting it between the covers of a book?
You find yourself gazing out the window, drifting into Sudoku-land, or going in circles with a chat bot that turns everything you want to say into some vague "journey of transformation" as we do "delicate dances" while we "weave the tapestries of our lives."
It's not just you.
Like every other major undertaking in life, a book takes a village.
If you've been struggling to make progress for too long on your own, you have come to the right place!
and get ready to write a book that changes lives (including your own)
Your voice matters. Your wisdom is needed.
It's time to step into your role as an author and share your gifts with the world.
I'm Laura Fox. Starting in July, I'll be guiding a group of four soul-driven authors to map out their books!
Why make a plan first?
Because your book needs a blueprint.
The author who can sit down and pen a masterpiece from start to finish is, I think, a mythical creature.
Writing with a plan is something like gardening with defined beds versus scattering seeds randomly.
Creating a structure doesn't limit what can grow. It allows each element to flourish in relationship with the whole.
Love to free-write?
You can still follow your inspiration, but now you will see how your creative explorations are part of your larger vision.
When you can see how the pages you’re writing get you closer to completing your book, it’s that much easier to stay motivated.
If you struggle with where to start,
you will always have a clear next step that reconnects you with your purpose instead of a blank page staring back at you.
In The Soul-Driven Author Book Incubator, we'll address the three main challenges that often keep powerful messages from reaching the page:
1. Clarity of purpose
2. Structure and flow
3. Nurture your writing practice
Many authors struggle because they haven't fully connected with their "why" both for themselves and their readers. To address this:
We'll explore who most needs to hear your message and how to speak directly to their hearts
We'll discover the unique gifts your experience and your perspective bring to the conversation
We'll craft a publishing and promotion plan for your book that aligns with your soul's purpose
With a clear path forward that energizes and inspires you,
your writing routine will begin to feel like a natural extension of the work you’re already doing in the world
.
Many wisdom-keepers find themselves overwhelmed by all they want to share, unsure how to weave their stories and teachings into a coherent whole that serves their readers.
You will:
~ Map out a clear structure that guides your reader to follow their own heart and their intuition as they immerse themselves in your vision from one chapter to the next.
~ Find the perfect balance of storytelling and teaching so your reader understands what you’re saying with their whole being—heart, body, and mind.
~ Develop key themes and threads that weave throughout your book, tying your stories and teachings into one powerful, unified message.
Together, we will create a detailed outline that feels spacious enough for your creative muse to play in while providing the support you need to keep writing with confidence.
Even the most inspired authors can struggle with making steady progress on their books. This is where the "incubator" aspect shines:
You will hold yourself to a reality-based accountability that comes from genuine connection and support
You will learn to recognize and work through common blocks that arise during the writing process
With these elements in place, you will make steady progress on your book while staying connected to your purpose and message.
We'll meet for eight get-it-done sessions (over 4 weeks) sandwiched between two private one-hour sessions
Together, we will:
Clarify your core message and identifying your ideal readers
Analyze the market for current publishing and marketing strategies that will work for you
Craft your unique framework and select stories that illuminate your wisdom
Create your chapter-by-chapter outline
Develop your writing schedule and accountability system
Produce a ~15 page document detailing every step of your plan so you won't lose your way.
By the end of the program, you'll have everything you need to start writing with confidence.
Here's the breakdown:
First Private Session | Map Your Three Areas of Impact
What will your book do for you, your business, and your reader?
Week One | Get to Know Your Reader
How will you connect with your reader? How will they see you and relate to you?
Week Two | What Kind of Book Will It Be?
Discover the most effective way to combine your message and your story. Memoir? Self-help? There is no one-size method!
Week Three | Market Research (Fun!)
Knowing how you are going to sell your book really does make it easier to write.
Week Four | Take Your Reader on a Tour
Structure your book so that your reader follows you with full confidence in your ability to guide them to the answers they seek.
Final Private Session | Fine-Tune Your Book Plan
Commit to completing the book your heart has envisioned over these past four weeks!
Your final one-on-one session is where I will deliver your completed book plan! We will fine-tune it together before you're off and running, writing your book.
This plan will have all the elements of a traditional book proposal, minus the sample chapters that you would send to an agent or publisher.
Once you've got your plan in hand, you can begin writing!
And no, I won't necessarly push you out of the nest.
Ongoing support and guidance can be arranged through one-on-one coaching sessions or twice weekly co-working sessions as you write.
Your Story + Your Message & Methods = Changed Lives
The Soul-Driven Author's Book Incubator is for you if:
You want to ground your book in your authentic voice and unique perspective
You value a nurturing, supportive environment that honors your creative process
You're ready to commit to bringing your book to life
Is this resonating?
I would be honored to walk you through creating a plan that finally gets your book written.
