The Abundant Author® Emergence

Step 1 in the Journey to Making Your Book a Reality (VISION)

During our first month together, you will:

• Get clarity on the message of the book.
• Map out a book outline, including “seeds and starts.”
• Envision the impact you would like to make with your book and how this ties into your work, life, and purpose.
• Get clear on the title, subtitle, book genre and who you are writing for.
• Create an actionable writing plan that will work for you.
• Start writing portions of the book you feel most inspired to start.

We do this during two two-hour sessions, held either via Zoom or in person at my office at the Bridge Healing Arts Center in Farmington, Connecticut. I’ll ask questions, you can sit back and talk, and I’ll pull everything together for you so you have a clear plan to move forward.

Step 2 in the Journey to Making Your Book a Reality (WRITE)

Next, you will write, write, write! We’ll be putting your writing plan into practice and making refinements until it is working like clockwork.

To support this process, you will have ten (10) 60-minute 1:1 sessions with Elizabeth.

In between sessions, you will be able to communicate with Elizabeth via Voxer, so you get real-time support along the way and don’t need to wait until your next session to share wins, ask quck questions, and direction.

You also will have access to the Abundant Author® Hive, which includes monthly group calls, monthly guided meditations and writing prompts, free e-books, and writing and publishing resources.

Step 3 in the Journey to Making Your Book a Reality (EDITS)

The Abundant Author® Emergence program includes comprehensive publishing services, which includes the four types of edits that are required to bring a book up to a professional standard.

These are:

• Developmental Edits – Developmental editing throughout the writing process, as well as the full manuscript once complete, focusing on improving the content and structure of the book, as well as making it appealing to the ideal reader.
• Line Edits focusing on flow, tense consistency, syntax, removing repeated phrases, and indicating where additional content is needed for clarity.
• Copy Edits (Two rounds by two different editors) focusing on spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation errors, as well as consistency.
• Proofreading – Proofreading of proofs until both Author and Publisher are satisfied with the book.

Step 4 in the Journey to Making Your Book a Reality (DESIGN)

It’s important to us that our authors are thrilled with the look and feel of their book.

This package includes:

• Cover Design in collaboration with the author – you get to keep creative control!
• Ready-to-publish cover files for multiple book formats and publishing platforms (paperback, hardcover and e-book for KDP and Ingram Spark).
• Interior Design of the Book that flows with the cover, including up to 10 images and front and back matter.
• Design of Your Marketing Plan – included in the Abundant Author® Blueprint, detailed below.

Turn Your Story Into Gold

During five (5) 1:1 sessions with Elizabeth, you will design a blueprint that aligns with you and your book. This is not a cookie cutter plan. While we pull from tried-and-true methods that have worked for other authors and best practices in the industry, we make sure your plan will work for you.

You will:

• Learn how to use your book to grow your business.
• Create a plan for marketing your book in a way that feels enjoyable to you.
• Leave with an actionable blueprint for growing your author brand.
• Try on practices that will help your nervous system feel safe as you grow as an author.
• Build signature offers that will align with your book—and bring in revenue.
• Get comfortable with selling your book and services and recieving money.

Step 5 in the Journey to Making Your Book a Reality (PROOF + PUBLISH)

There is nothing like holding your published book in your hands! We will walk beside you through the process from viewing the proofs to publishing the book on two publishing platforms: one for maximum profit per book sale and one for maximum reach.

Stepping into being an author is no joke. This is a massive energetic uplevel. Your 1:1 coaching calls with Elizabeth and connection with your fellow authors through the Abundant Author® Hive will support you through this process.

Also included in this package:

• KDP – Publishing on the Kindle Direct Publishing platform for Amazon sales. (Note: For those that prefer to sell directly to readers, rather than through Amazon, we have an alternative pathway available.)
