Want to write but don't know where to start? Overwhelmed?

Brought to you by an Amish memoir author, this 12-Minute Writing Guide teaches you three (3) easy steps that instantly cut through the overwhelm to let you write with confidence and calm. No more feeling hopeless or stuck!

This Guide is for you if

Want to write your memoir or use your personal story to grow your business

Know you have a story inside you but don't know how to write or how to start

Enjoy writing in private but got burned by red ink all over your essays in college or high school

If you want to know why the process works, buy this book and give it a try for 7 days. You might be surprised by your results.

Note from I created this 12-Minute process in order to write my memoir. The first draft of every chapter in Amish Girl in Manhattan was handwritten. After I started offering lessons to others who also struggled with writing, I realized that I had a gift for conveying the Show, don't Tell technique. It makes or breaks your stories. It can addict people to your voice, make you unforgettable, and help you rise above the noise on social media.

But first, before you're ready to master that aspect of the craft (which gives you a powerful competitive advantage), you have to master the habit of writing daily. That is the purpose of the 12-Minute Writing Guide .

About the author

Torah Bontrager

7 books2 followers
Torah Bontrager, born and raised traditional Amish, speaks English as a second language and grew up with no electricity, no TV, no radio, no Internet, no cars, and up until the age of 10, no running hot water and no indoor bathroom.

She's the author of Amish Girl in Manhattan (a crime memoir) and is, to her knowledge, the first--and so far, only--Amish escapee to graduate from an Ivy League school.

Torah's story and work have been featured on Tim Ferriss' blog, Forbes.com, NPR, MTV, and HuffPost. She has a BA in Philosophy from Columbia University in New York City, and now advocates for the right of Amish women and children to go to school beyond the 8th grade.

Good tip

It is brief tip and to the point. No sure it should be called a book. It is kind of an article.
