Write a Must-Read: How to Craft a Book That Changes Lives--Including Your Own
You want to write a book that matters. A book that resonates with readers. A book that changes lives. And you're not sure where to begin.
In Write a Must-Read, AJ shares the method she developed and used for more than a decade to ghostwrite and edit bestselling books for some of the foremost thought leaders of our time. She gives you the complete framework she shares with her workshop students--the same framework she used with newbies, big-deal deal authors, small presses, and the Big Five.
The secret: It's not about you.
When you put your reader first--their desires, their challenges, their point of view, and even their experience of reading your book--you create the connection and trust required to transform their lives. This method also simplifies the writing and editing process and helps keep your inner critic at bay.
The payoff: a must-read book, and a massive readership who serve as ambassadors for your message and your brand.

After belatedly realizing this book was for nonfiction authors, I just read the three chapters recommended to writers of fiction, and skimmed the rest. Nevertheless, I gleaned several strategies that were immediately helpful to my work, including how to calculate/set word-count goals and create a schedule to completion, and tips for silencing my inner troll or self-critic. These have significantly accelerated my progress on my current project -- quite an impact from even a small portion of this book!
