We often get asked exactly how it works - when you have a book coach and a team on your side. Most authors come to us with a jumble of ideas, and no idea how to take them and create a book from them. So here’s what we do, as best explained by this delightful Building Blocks image:
We turn the box out on the floor,
Sort by colour and size
Assemble an idea plan
Work out which blocks (stories, facts, information) is needed for this book, and in what order they fit together.
We build a house... Sometimes it’s a whole street of houses!
Our process for doing this works, just like putting a jigsaw or block puzzle together. The biggest challenges are usually working with authors who think they should just empty the blocks out on the floor and start building before sorting them and creating a plan.
