Ready to Publish - How to turn your (very) rough draft into a book

Ready to Publish is for writers who already have most of the content for their book in other forms like videos they've created, blog posts they've written, etc.

This book shows you how to shape your existing content into a book, and explains the process for getting that book into your readers' hands!

Keeping Your Reader Front of Mind: Write easily and efficiently by focusing on your audience

I wrote this book for Bookboon's business audience. It's aimed at a corporate reader, though the writing advice in it applies in many other situations. Here's the description:

Whether we write quarterly reports, team emails, or advertising copy, all writers know the fear of the blank page. Keeping Your Reader Front of Mind gives you a system that alleviates this fear by putting the focus where it belongs, on the reader. It demonstrates how your writing is informed by why and for whom you are writing, offers an easy-to-use system for focusing your ideas, and uses an analogy between clearing out a wardrobe and writing to demystify the writing process. The aim is to help you quickly and easily write the text your readers need to read.

Shine on You Crazy Daisy, volume 1

My chapter in this collection is called 'Finally Getting All of What I Want'. Like the other brilliant chapters, it's about why I started my business and what I did before I became a writing coach.

The Microgenre: A quick look at small culture

This excellent collection introduces the reader to the idea of the microgenre. My chapter focuses on anaesthesia fiction and explains what I mean by that term, how the microgenre started, and how it has changed over time.
