Here’s what’s happening —
You are about to end this year having NOT written your book.
Again.
This makes me sad.
Because I want to see your book –
your wisdom
your humor
your insights
in the world.
The world needs your book.
And I know that maybe you don’t believe that.
And you are concerned that:
your idea isn’t good enough
you don’t know how you would market and sell it
you’re uncertain which publishing path is for you (self? hybrid? traditional?)
you feel like it’s all been said before
you don’t want to add to the noise in an already noisy world
you not sure where you’d find the time – you’re busy!
you’re not even exactly sure what book you are writing
And what you really don’t want is to put a lot of money and time into your book and have it turn out to be a big waste of energy.
I get it.
Which is why I created
Sat. January 4th, 2025
A one-day strategy session that combines deep soul intuition and years of experience as an award-winning, best-selling author and book coach to give you the answers — and the road map — you need to finish your book swiftly, with confidence and joy.
“Yes, thanks to Sam, I have a book proposal and an outline. Yes, my writing is well under-way….Sam’s expertise gave me tools to take on next steps: seeking an agent, choosing a publication path, and marketing the book. Sam offers a great combination of no-B.S. nuts & bolts (let’s get this DONE!) and warm, compassionate and insightful coaching.” – M.
Because the TRUTH is:
your idea IS good enough
And I’ll prove it to you in the first ten minutes of Figure Out Your Book In One Day
you can easily figure out how you would market and sell it
I’ve got an easy step-by-step system to guarantee sales – your book can even make you money BEFORE you write it! #facts
you can have my secret formula to determine which publishing path is for you (self? hybrid? traditional?)
My grounded-in-reality discernment system takes just a few minutes to end the debate and answer this question once and for all – whew!
your voice matters
Perhaps it has all been said before….but not by you, right?
your story is desperately needed by those who are seeking you
Babe, good books are not noise. They are a gift.
you have 15 minutes a day, yes?
I wrote my last book in just a few months, mostly working in 15-minute increments – I’ll give you my unique, flexible writing system so you can, too.
your inner wisdom DOES know what book you are writing
Ooooh! Just wait until you see the zing-y system I use to give you perfect clarity and confidence! So fun. I love worksheets.

4 of 7: What’s REALLY effective copy writing & how do you know?
5 of 7: Beat perfectionism once and for all

7 of 7: What to do if you feel constrained by having to write for SEO, academic writing, your boss…
I’m Too Wordy…
Well, honey, it’s tempting to just say, “Use fewer words” : ) But that’s not really the issue, now is it?
One part of the issue is that you want to tell everybody everything about your work right away.
Think Of It This Way: A “Sales Funnel” Is What Takes You From First Glance To Marriage
If you imagine that you look across a crowded room and make eye contact with someone who looks interesting to you, then you would find a way to strike up a conversation, right?
And you wouldn’t start the conversation by giving them every last detail about where you grew up, would you?
Of course not – that would be weird.
You would start the conversation by saying something like, “Hi.”
And then you might give them a compliment or offer to buy them a drink or make some pithy observation.
Same thing goes for potential clients: begin the conversation in a way that demonstrates that you are genuinely interested in them.
But there’s more to it, isn’t there?
The marketing conundrum of 2012: people have short attention spans but they still need to be convinced, persuaded and soothed.
So you need to use as many words as necessary to convey a feeling of confidence in your prospects, but no more.
(In other words, shut up when they are ready to buy…but how do you know?)
So try using VISUAL CUES to break up long copy into shorter, more easily understood segments.
For example, you might create an email or sales page that has:
- A compelling headline (bold) that piques their interest
- A fantastic opening paragraph
- An image that supports your text
- A caption under the image that makes a point or encourages an action
- Several sub-headers (bold, colorful) that break up the text
One of the participants on the “7 Copy Writing Mistakes That Are Costing You Money & Keeping You From The Success You Deserve” noticed that it was just like creating a magazine article — brilliant! YES!
Here’s the logic:
The most-read parts of any document are 1) The headline 2) The opening paragraph 3) The image 4) The captions 5) Sub-headers
Taking the time to make these elements intriguing pays off when you remember:
No one reads anything – they only LOOK at it.
So making those elements really groovy will help your reader determine – at first glance – whether they should go back and actually read the rest or not.
This gives you the punch of “short copy” combined with the detail of “long copy.”
Find this helpful? Here’s how to get more…
You deserve to have your business be financially sustainable, values-driven and joyful. Not easy, mind you – but joyful.
And improving your copy writing is the NUMBER ONE key to your success.
So…
