The colleagues I’ve admired the most bring that rarely executed but oft aspired to skill of understanding the small, concrete pieces that make up the whole. They are experts in their fields, relied on by many, and often buried under a to-do list a mile long and a mountain of great ideas.
Does this sound familiar? Is this you?
My guess is, if you’ve been itching to write a workbook, business book, or other professional long-form publication, the raw materials for your book are already bouncing around in your head, on your phone, and inside your drive folders. But, if you start off writing without a clear path through the mountain of information, you're likely to wander off course or get stuck.
With this in mind, I created a workbook to help leaders organize the newsletter sends, LinkedIn posts, emails, webinars, and any other core assets that you’ve already wrote; parts of your book are already living and breathing arguments and stories out in the world. The Mountain to Manuscript workbook will help you articulate your book’s main goal, its contribution to the field or genre you’re writing in, and what your target audience is looking for in a book.
I give a peek into the workbook here:

3 Questions You Need to Answer Before Starting the Book
What is the actual goal for your book? Books take significant amounts of time and money, and once they’re out, they’re out!
Is the book a strategic tool to build your business and career?
Is it a passionate offering to your community based on shared experience?
Is it an archive of lessons learned you want on record before you move on to the next project or phase in your life?
The difference between book 1 and book 3 will likely inform different tones, different types of stories and arguments, and be oriented to different readers.
These are the types of questions provided in the Mountain to Manuscript Workbook. Have a look—it’s available for all our email subscribers until January 1st, 2027.
We wish you mountains of success as you ascend to your book’s publication in the new year.
