This is How to Actually Start Your Book

Finally, a book outline that writes the book for you!

In my decade of experience writing and helping authors write, edit, and publish their books, I've discovered that a solid book outline is the most important factor in actually starting (and finishing!) your book:

βœ… Get a head start with a template and take the first step to published book.

βœ… Discover the secret power of why that will help you finish a book in under a year.

βœ… Learn how to stop writer's block, by ensuring you always have something to write about.
