Are you trying to be all things to all people?

For those of you who are writing a book thinking that it's for everyone, let me tell you right now, it's not.

You need to trust me on this.

I can see you squirming in your seat, thinking to yourself "she's wrong", but there are lots of good reasons why you really shouldn't write your book for a generic audience (everyone).

Including the #1 reason: Your writing will be so much better!

I get why so many authors agonise over choosing a target audience, and I know you are going to resist, so here is a plan for what to do if you genuinely believe your book is for everyone.

The fact of the matter is, in the same way that if you try to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one; if you try to write for everyone, you will connect with no one.

And as I've said many times before, readers want connection, not data.

They want to be moved, and the best way to connect is to speak to a specific niche (the more specific the better) about their specific problems and tell how you can help them solve their specific problems.

Then they will feel seen and heard and you have a real connection.

After that you can seriously consider writing a series of books for different niches or groups, using the specific language, experiences and challenges of each of those specific groups.

You will have much more success writing several books for several niches than if you try to write one book for everyone.

Not sure how to choose your first niche?

Tell me, if you could only help one person in this life, who would you really want to help, and why?

If you were going to write and publish a book, what sort of an experience would you hope to have?

As there is often much more involved in writing and publishing a book than most authors realise, it can be overwhelming.

So one of my goals is to make the experience as transparent and as enjoyable as possible.

I love knowing that we've gotten better and better at this over the years.

Lots of practice makes for happier clients.

Do you know what your highest values are?

And are you living in alignment with them?

My values have shifted over the years, but they haven't really changed. It's just that during different stages of my life I have valued some things more than others.

I did a values workshop facilitated by the lovely Fiona Hasson from Thryve earlier this year, and it seems my highest value is currently order.

Now I knew I wasn't a big fan of chaos (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome), but I had no idea that order was so important to me.

So imagine how it feels for me to have this going on in my work space.

I feel stuck. I feel like I can't concentrate, I can't get anything done because there is so much going on around me, it's distracting and annoying and I feel like I can't function in chaotic environments.

Ugh.

But when I have order, I feel like everything flows, I feel like I am in control and I have a sense of achievement, and I feel like I can conquer anything that comes my way.

Time to have a big clean up and realign.

Where do you think you might be out of alignment with your values and how does it impact your life?

Are you still struggling with your writing?

I’m talking about literally having trouble getting the words out of your head and getting them onto a word doc, or onto paper.

I still struggle.

I know that as a book coach, I’m not supposed to say that out loud, but it is the truth.

Of course, I now have strategies that help me achieve what I want to achieve.

From my own personal experience, though, as well as from the regular feedback I receive from aspiring authors, it’s not uncommon for writers to become paralysed by what I like to call our "inner editor".

We have an idea that we want to explore and we start putting things down on paper, or typing things into a note on our computers, and before long we are reading and rereading the few words we’ve written, and editing them, and we’ve lost our creative spark.

Or worse, we don’t even start putting our ideas on paper because we just get so stuck trying to get the words right in our heads that we don’t even try to write something.

It took me decades to have the courage to write something that I thought was share-worthy.

Frankly I think it’s devastating to think about the many authors who are yet to be published and are creatively unfulfilled because they won’t allow themselves to finish a first and probably very ugly draft of their book.

If you are struggling to get past your inner editor, I would encourage you to focus on this one strategy which you can implement right now that will help you tame your inner editor.

Schedule some regular writing time that is edit free.

By edit free, I mean writing whatever comes to mind as quickly and as messily as you can, without any thought for what you are writing or how you are writing it or how it even looks as you are writing it.

Have a chat with your inner editor and ask her to take a step back for just 5 minutes so you can see what you can create.

Invest in a timer and start off with 5 minutes a day. You can keep writing if you are on a roll, and you can build it up to longer sessions over time, but the main thing is to regularly write for at least 5 minutes without any judgment.

It’s amazing what happens when you get past that first 5 minutes. It’s like a door opens and the creative juices start flowing rapidly. And that is when you really start enjoying the process of writing.

It’s also when you start to believe in yourself and in your ability to be the author you know you were meant to be.

I have other strategies, of course, but this one is a goodie and it will quickly make a big difference to the amount of writing you do and to your experience of writing.

Photo below is of 4 authors who have tamed their inner editor long enough to get published. I'm sure they will agree with me that when you've done it once, it gets easier. Pat Armitstead - Speaker, Empowerment Coach, Artist, Sally Eberhardt, Lauren Clemett and me 😊

Hands up if you struggle with getting things written. Or are you one of the luckly ones for whom words flow effortlessly?

Audiobook, ebook or print book?

What is the best way to go for your book?

This is going to sound funny, coming from a book coach, but I don't read books.

I used to.

It was not unusual for me to absorb at least one book a week, but I now prefer to listen to books, and I know I am not alone.

My 2nd favourite way to consume books is on my kindle app.

I love, love, love the idea of being able to take my entire library with me everywhere I go. That thought alone fills me with great joy.

And I love having a visual of what I am listenning to.

Side note: Did you know that listenning and reading at the same time actually helps you to absorb more content? I heard that from Alex Hermozi. (If you are in business and you don't know who he is, look him up. You can thank me later.)

Since the introduction of ebooks, I have only bought print books if I have really loved one that I had listenned to and read on Kindle, and I've done that so that I can keep it and hold it and look lovingly at it whenever I want to. (Ha ha. I'm definitely a book nerd.)

Now, though, with 5 adults and 2 children living in our humble 4 bed home, space has become the most sought after commodity, so I have chosen to let go of many of my print books, boo hoo, and I am learning to resist buying new print books simply because I don’t have anywhere to put them.

Another side note: We are extending our home so I am happy to say that may change again 😊

The evolution of books has been liberating on so many levels, but for those who are thinking about writing a book, you need to know that print book sales still outweigh ebook sales and audiobook sales by a country mile.

And, as an author, there is nothing more satisfying than holding the physical copy of your book in your hands when it is published. It's a moment I wish for every aspiring author to experience.

So to answer my own question, audiobook, ebook or print book, my advice is to do all 3, starting with print, then ebook, then record an audiobook.

Our readers are all different and will have different preferences, so it makes a lot of sense to give them options.

I'd love to know, what's your preferred way to consume books?

The Power of Possibility

Have you ever stopped to think how extraordinary humans can be when they set their minds to something?

Throughout history—and certainly in our modern world—people are solving impossible problems in the most amazing ways.

They are rising from heartbreak and hardship, and creating movements that ripple far beyond their original intention.

From grassroots campaigns that transform communities, to everyday individuals who are turning their pain into purpose, the common thread is this:

They make the decision they want to make a difference.

They choose to speak up.
They choose to take action.
They choose to believe that their voice, their story, and their ideas might matter to someone else.

And when they make that choice, lives change.

In my role at Disruptive Publishing, I get to witness this powerful shift firsthand. I've worked with lots of women—many in midlife and beyond—who were no longer willing to stay silent or sit on their dreams.

They were ready to tell their story, build their legacy, and turn their life experiences into something that moves others.

Some are healing through their writing.
Some are leading with it.
All are creating impact.

Have you ever considered that your story could hold the solution for someone else's problem?

What's one life lesson you've learned that others could benefit from?

The WRITE Formula: How to Give Your Book Purpose and Power in a Busy Market

When asked, almost every author will tell you that they want to write a book that’s transformational—not just informational.

Great. It helps to be clear on that. But how do you ensure your book has what it takes to acheive that?

Every day approximately 6,000 new books are published worldwide. This includes both print and digital formats like ebooks and audiobooks.

I realised that if an author wants to stand out in such a busy crowd, they need a powerful edge.

So I created the WRITE formula.

How do you stand out in the crowd?
How do you get noticed?
And how do you cut through so you can have the sort of impact you long to have?

You need to have a clear understanding of the following:

🔹 W – Wisdom: What do you know that others need to know?

🔹 R – Reader: Who are you writing to? What do they need to hear from you?

🔹 I – Intention: Exactly what change do you want to facilitate and inspire?

🔹 T – Transformational Edge: What makes your story uniquely powerful?

🔹 E – Ex*****on: What do you need to do to get your book written and published?

💡 If you are one of those aspiring authors who wants to make a difference, I encourage you to grab a journal and work through these questions.

You’ll be amazed at the clarity that comes and the difference it will make to the way you write your book.

It will also make a difference to the way you think about yourself and what you have to offer.

And if you need help developing your Transformational Edge, talk to me. I have a formula for that too. 😎

What Makes a Book Coach Worth Their Weight in Gold?

Here are 3 things to look for when you are looking for someone to help you get your book written:

✅ Clarity + Structure

When you know where the goal posts are, and you have a plan to reach them, it is so much easier to score.

A good book coach helps you organise your thoughts into a compelling book plan so that you have a clear goal and an easy-to-follow formula for organising your knowledge and expertise in a way your readers will love.

✅ Honest Feedback

When you are writing nonfiction, your voice is an important part of your book.

A good book coach guides your writing without changing your voice so that your reader hears you, gets to know you better, and feels more connected to you with every word they read.

✅ Accountability

How long have you been wanting to write your book?

A good book coach will help you actually finish. They have a system for getting you from where you are now to where you want to be. No more wishing and hoping and endless attempts to get it done.

💡 Pro Tip: If you are interviewing book coaches, ask about their process.

I use the WRITE Method to guide every book. It's something I created to ensure my authors don't just write a book, they write a transformational book.

Shout out to my girlfriends in business.

It takes a lot of courage to stand up and be seen. And even more courage to keep showing up, especially when things are not going the way you want them to.

I see you. 🤗

Something most people don’t realise (until they do it) is that writing a book isn’t just about the end product. It’s about who you become in the process of writing it. ✨

Writing a book is a transformational experience and you absolutely do change and in powerful ways.�

Here's 3 Ways Writing A Book Will Change You.

📍 You get really clear on who you are and what you stand for.

Writing forces you to make sense of your story and what you’ve lived.

📍 You’ll reclaim your voice.
�
You get to say what you want to say, in your own way. No permission needed from anyone else.

📍 And you’ll grow enormously in confidence.

Writing your truth is an act of courage and every day I am so priveleged to work with authors who are choosing to stand up and use their voices in powerful ways.

These things alone are reason enough to go through the process of writing a book.

However, writing, knowing that someone else will read your story and benefit from it, makes it an even more compelling exercise.

🖋️ If you’re ready for a powerful, internal shift and you want help turning your life experiences into a legacy, then consider book coaching as your next brave step.

Ask me how I can help you.

All writers get stuck at times, but here are 3 areas where aspiring authors get stuck—and how you can get unstuck:

❌ You don’t have a clear plan.
✔️ Try outlining 10 key turning points or lessons you want to teach your reader first.

❌ You are editing while you write.
✔️ Try scheduling separate your writing time from your editing time.

❌ You are isolating yourself.
✔️ Find a writing community or consider working with a coach to stay motivated and accountable.

Writing and publishing your first book is part creativity, part structure, and a whole lot of support.

You really don’t have to do it all alone.

If you’ve been struggling to finish your book, feel free to reach out for a chat and together we can get your book finished.

How good would that be?
