Why a book

Expertise in your head can't open doors. A book can.

Most people in your industry will never have what you know. But while it lives only in your head, it cannot win trust, reach the right people or outlast you. A book carries your thinking into rooms you haven't entered yet.

Authority

The name people ask for

Your book moves you from one of many options to the expert others refer, quote and invite.

Trust

Known before you meet

Clients, partners and the media understand how you think before the first meeting, so conversations start further along.

Legacy

Your story, kept

Your principles and your story, captured in your own voice for your team, your family and your industry.

How it works

You talk. We capture. You get a book.

No blank pages and no writing on weekends. The whole process is built around a busy leader's calendar.

Questions

What leaders ask before they start

Do I need to be a writer?

No. You talk and we write. Your ideas, stories and methods come out in conversation, and we turn them into a book that reads in your voice.

How much of my time does it take?

About six hours of conversation spread over three months, plus time to review your manuscript stage by stage. The process is designed around a busy leader's calendar.

Will it really sound like me?

Yes. The book is written from your own words and stories, and you review it at every stage until it reads the way you think and speak.

Whose name goes on the cover?

Yours. It is your book, your ideas and your authority.

I'm not sure what my book is about yet.

That's normal, and it's exactly what the first step is for. In the Position stage we find the one idea your category should know you for.

What does it cost?

Every book is planned around your goals, so we discuss scope and investment on your free call, once we understand what you want the book to do for you.

Is there a book in you?

Your category is waiting for its author.

Start with a private, no-obligation conversation about your book idea.
