Your Book from Scratch Program

10/8/2018

Comments

 
Take your writing to another level by taking an intensive mentoring program. Jo Parfitt's 12-month program will help you brainstorm, plan, create and perfect your book from scratch.
What a joy it is to work with Jo on my second book! Why do I work with her? Because she intuitively sees into my heart, mind and soul. And with that insight, she draws from me the book that’s bubbling inside. She uses a magic mix of nurturing and caring with a clarity and discipline… that demands nothing but the very best from me.That’s what brilliant mentoring and coaching does. It’s rather like being sprinkled with fairy dust.
​David Scarlett, author of The Soul Millionaire and the upcoming: Flight of the Soul Millionaire

Jo only works with one client at a time during the first few weeks of your program so you can be sure of her undivided attention. Her mentoring program includes the following:
​
  • Initial two-hour ‘Getting to Know You’ mentoring where Jo will dig deep into your motives for writing, what you want to achieve as well as your vision, values, strengths and weaknesses
  • All the brainstorming, planning and discussion you need working to Jo’s Release the Book Within program​
  • Close editing of the first three chapters of your book as it emerges —  one chapter at a time
  • A big picture assessment of all remaining chapters of your book
  • Guidance  on the format and layout of your book according to convention and to achieve consistency
  • A road map to follow going forward​​​

Jo will work with you face-to-face, through email or via Skype/phone — as often as once a week if required — while you work through Release the Book Within. Expect to commit to working on your book for one day a week.
​
Take Jo’s mentoring service and extend your program to add a publishing package at a REDUCED fee.
