Did you know I facilitate a free Book Writing Challenge?

Leanne came to me a little while ago wanting to know how she could share her expertise in a way that helped others, but she didn't know where to start or how to structure her book.

This is so common.

Anyone who has wanted to write a book for some time will be familiar with Leanne's frustration because while we might know our stuff, we don't all know how to get what's in our heads onto paper in a way that makes sense, and that can be agonising for us.

Leanne jumped onto a free call with me before joining me in the FREE Book Writing Challenge that I now offer via Skool.

Through the Book Writing Challenge, I was able to help Leanne get her book started and she was well on her way to getting it written in no time.

If you've been wanting to write a nonfiction, self-help book or a memoir for some time, and you'd like to take a look at my free Book Writing Challenge, you can go here: https://www.skool.com/disruptivepublishing-4019

You can get started straight away and work at your own pace, and I will give you all the support, structure and encouragement I can to help you achieve your goal and fulfill your dream.

Did I mention that it was free? 😆

I'd love to see you in there.

What do you want to achieve with your writing?

Do you want to inspire? Educate? Disrupt? Entertain?

How do you want your message to land?

Because even though it's vitally important to be clear about the message you want to convey, I think it's more important to be clear on the type of impact you want to have.

So how do you write in a way that impacts the way you want it to?

Here are three things you can do:

1. Get clear on your intention.

Before you start writing, ask yourself this: What do I want my reader to walk away feeling?

When your intention is clear, your writing will become laser-focused, aligned, and purposeful, which will show.

2. Write to one reader—not the whole world.

Impact happens when your words feel like they're written especially for your reader.

Picture the person who needs your message most and write directly to them. Show them you understand them and when your reader feels seen and understood, your message will land exactly where and how it’s meant to.

3. Share the transformation, not just the information.

Facts educate. Stories transform.

Anyone can share facts and information is easy to find. But when you share the moments that shaped you—the real, human, imperfect parts—your writing becomes the bridge that helps someone else move forward.

This has always been something I have struggled with. I am so good at passing on information but not so good at sharing my own personal experiences and how I came to know what I know.

When I started being more open about my own personal experiences was when I really started having an impact on my readers, and that has been so deeply gratifying.

I want that for you too.

So, if you want your writing to truly make a difference, start by deciding the type of difference you want to make, then give your reader everything you've got.

Your story matters, and the impact you dream of having is absolutely possible when you write with intention, clarity, and courage.

And if you want help, reach out. I have one coaching space opening up in January so now is a good time to chat if you are thinking of seeking support.

Please share with me, how would you like to move your readers?

5 things I learned about me as a ‘customer’.

I bought a car recently.

We’ve also been renovating.

Between these two events we’ve invested a bit of money and I’ve learned a few things about me in the process.

Here’s what I noticed:

1. I prefer to deal with small businesses.

I am a relationship builder and I am much more comfortable buying from someone I can look in the eye and shake hands with, than be slotted into a system of processes, no matter how good a company’s reputation is.

Bonus points if that business is local.

I am also willing to pay more for this.

2. I like quality, not perfection.

I am so much more ok with things not being perfect than I realised. But I do like things to be nice.

3. I like knowing what to expect.

I am a conceptual learner so as long as I can see the big picture I can manage the rest. Especially when it comes to changes and delays, which are inevitable. I just need an understanding of what I can expect moving forward.

4. Little things matter to me. (Some will argue these are not little things.)

I think this is where the ‘wow’ factor is:

- Manners.

- Cleaning up after yourself.

- Doing your best to follow through on what you say.

- Communicating when things change.

- Offering to help with things outside your lane.

- Being kind while going about your business.

- Having a positive, solution-oriented attitude.

These might not change the outcome of what you’re working toward, but they make the journey much more pleasant.

5. I like things that are just a little bit different. (I think this applies to people too 😀)

I don’t often feel the need to stand out, but I’ve learned that if I have a choice between what is mainstream and what is unusual, I am going to go with the unusual.

Different interests me.

It can be so subtle that no one else notices, but I will know and it gives me a great sense of satisfaction.

#5 makes me smile the most.

How well do you know yourself as a customer?

For those of you in business, how does this translate into the way you attract and convert your own customers?

And who else likes people and things that are just a little bit different? 😆

Disruptive Author, Kelly-Anne Kerley, went for a bike ride early one morning, but never made it to her destination because she was hit by a car.

This was a life-chainging moment for her followed by an eleven-day stay in ICU, and multiple major surgeries just to stay alive.

With a traumatic brain injury, an incomplete spinal cord injury, and many other injuries, Kelly-Anne spent months in the spinal cord unit and it was unsure whether she would ever walk again, let alone ride.

Kelly-Anne retells this captivating story - what she can remember of it - sharing the highs and the lows of her journey.

Every part of her previously happy, healthy life upended, one question stayed with Kelly-Anne throughout her Journey: Do I let this define me, destroy me, or strengthen me?

I absolutely loved working with Kelly-Anne to help her shape her story and turn it into the inspirational book that it is.

She is a delightful woman who is full of life and her outlook is infectious.

If you would like to get a copy of her book, for yourself or for an inspirational gift, you will find in print, ebook and audio here: https://www.kellyannekerley.com.au/

"I don’t want to stop but sometimes writing about certain parts of my life feels like wading through treacle."

This is a huge challenge for anyone who is writing their personal story.

In the process of sharing your story, you have to relive certain experiences. It can feel like you are going through it all over again, and that can be intense.

Depending on what sort of support you have around you, this might just stop you in your tracks, and your dream of becoming published might seem further away than ever. 😞

Here's my take as a book coach and as a counsellor.

1. When it comes to reliving certain parts of your story, I say be patient and be compassionate with yourself.

2. Take it slowly.

3. Write honestly and openly and give yourself permission to write without judgment.

4. Don't avoid anything because the thing you want to avoid is probably the thing that will make your readers resonate most with your story, and

5. If something is still, really getting in your way, consider coaching or counselling to work through your blocks.

This is your opportunity to experience a deeper healing.

It's also probably the fastest, most efficient way to get back on track with getting your story written.

And who knows what new wisdom you will be able to bring to your story once you've worked through this final block.

It's important for you to know that the experience of writing your book is just as important as, if not more than, having it written.

I hope this helps anyone who is stuck, but let me know if you want to chat further.

Maybe coaching is the thing that will make all the difference for you.

Do you know much about feng shui?

I have always had a great thirst for knowledge, but something a lot of people don't know about me is that I studied Feng Shui for many years.

This included many different schools or forms including western school, black hat, form school, bagua, compass, flying stars, 4 pillars, geomancy, eight mansions and holistic feng shui.

It was a lot. And it was complex. But I loved it. 💕

It started when one of my favourite authors, Stuart Wilde, introduced me to the concept that everything has an energetic value, and that we are unconsciously influenced by the energy in the things we choose to surround ourselves with.

Wow. It's eye-opening when you start judging your belongings in terms of whether they raise your energy or diminish your energy.

Probably a bit like Marie Kondo encourages us to only keep things in our homes that spark joy in us.

I believe there is a lot of value in this.

These days I don't practice a lot of what I learned, but I will be forever fascinated by energy and how my environment impacts on my mood and my productivity levels.

Are you sensitive to your environment?

And do you have practices or rituals that help you stay inspired and aligned with your goals (writing or otherwise)?

I'd love to hear how you manage your environment to support your energy.

Who doesn't love a juicy romance story?

I normally work in the nonfiction arena so it was a great experience to work with Bianco Todd to publish the first and second books in her Aussie Romance Series.

This is where having the right team of professionals around you makes all the difference.

Technically, the publishing process is the same, regardless of the content.

But works of fiction require an editor who knows to look for a compelling and coherent story, and is able to focus on elements such as plot, character development, pacing, and structure, before looking at details such as grammar, style, and consistency.

Our editors have that ability.

It's definitely great to hear how happy Bianca is with our team, and we are looking forward to helping her with books 3 and 4.

Do yourself a favour and grab a copy of both books now. They will make excellent Christmas pressies.

Why Disruptive?

Another question I am often asked is, "Why did I call my business Disruptive Publishing?"

Most people don’t know this, but the name Disruptive Publishing came from a moment that completely surprised me.

I was listening to someone share their story at a networking event - someone I would never have considered working with - and to my surprise, their journey hit me right in the chest. I felt compelled to speak with them afterward and strongly suggested they write a book called "Being Disruptive".

I didn't care if they worked with me or not. I just knew they had to get their story out to a much wider audience where it could have a much bigger impact.

Later, my business coach asked me: “Why did that person resonate with you so deeply?”

This was such a good question because it made me dig deep and discover that I have a rebellious streak.

I actually love going to the heart of things and shaking them up. Not for the sake of it. But for the greater good.

That realisation changed everything for me.

I realised my publishing work was never just about putting books out into the world. It was about creating a safe, courageous space for people to speak up, speak out, and disrupt what they feel needs to change.

A platform.

That was when I rebranded to Disruptive Publishing and it felt like the perfect fit for me.

My mission is simple:

To help people tell the stories that matter — the ones that heal, challenge, confront, inspire, and ignite transformation.

To help authors move through their stories, and in doing so, give even more people permission to do the same.

This is what being disruptive really means to me. This is why I do what I do. And this is at the heart of Disruptive Publishing. 💛

I would love to know what being disruptive means to you?

"What if I am boring?"

"What if my story is boring?"

"What if nobody wants to read my book?"

"I'm part way through my book and I'm suddenly consumed by the thought of how boring it is! Can you help me get past this?"

These are questions I am often asked, so I know there are many aspiring authors who are asking these same questions about themselves and about their books right now.

It is so hard not to judge yourself when you come face to face with yourself and your story through your writing.

My advice is simple: Keep writing.

Try to suspend the judgment and the doubts long enough to just finish your first draft.

Have a chat with yourself if needs be, and ask yourself to give yourself a break until you are finished your first draft.

That's all you have to do, and all you need to focus on.

I always say that the first draft is for the author so get everything down that you want to get down, and be completely selfish about it during your first draft.

The 2nd and subsequent drafts are for the reader.

Once you have everything on paper, then you can start thinking about how you will organise your story and what you will or won't keep in it.

Your perspective will be much more grounded when you have the whole story in front of you.

And if you are still concerned it's not interesting, you can get help with structuring your book and making it more engaging.

Coaching and developmental editing can make a huge difference to your writing and to readability of your book.

I would love to know if this resonates with you, or if your fear of being "boring" has ever stopped you from moving forward in any area of your life.

PS: Feel free to reach out if you would like to know more about my coaching services and how a book coach can help you get past your blocks. I'd love to chat.

Have you heard of Louise Hay?

A little over 30 years ago I read a book called “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay, and my life changed forever.

I was a young mum at the time and I was completely overwhelmed by life, so the concept that intentionally changing my thoughts could positively impact my experience of life was mind-blowing.

Wanting to understand how my thinking had contributed to my current experience become a driving force.

And I was hungry to learn how I could create a different experience - a better one - for myself and my family.

So I read Louise’s book from cover to cover a number of times over the years, doing all of the exercises, meditating and practicing forgiveness for myself and others.

I also saw Louise Hay speak a number of times at seminars, alongside authors like Wayne Dyer and Stuart Wilde.

After I’d studied to become a counsellor, I became a Licensed Heal Your Life Teacher and incorporated Louise’s processes into my work with clients.

Like Louise, I wrote a book in my later years - I was in my 40s, Louise in her 50s.

And also like Louise, I started helping aspiring authors share their wisdom through publishing - I was in my 50s, Louise in her 60s.

There have been many books and authors who have had an impact on me, but You Can Heal Your Life has had the biggest impact, and Louise Hay has been a powerful role model for me.

I couldn’t tell you how many copies of Louise’s book I have given away to other people. Or where I'd be without her loving guidance.

Imagine having that sort of impact as an author.

Can you name a book that’s had a powerful impact in your life?

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?
