About the Book

Not moving forward on writing your non-fiction book? Too much advice from too many people and none of it seems to work for you? Somehow over the past fifteen years, I have muddled my way into three models that affect author success, which I share in this book. The 'Author Personality' is a model of four questions, that once answered, can help an author move forward with minimum stress to complete his or her manuscript. The 'Milking Stool' model is a play on the antique milking stool I have in my living room. Today, it is only used as a surface to stack books and hold tea cups, but once upon a time it was doing its namesake work at my husband's grandfather's dairy farm. The Milking Stool triangle of legs explains the three essential roles and their accompanying tasks that must be completed to take an author down the writing path to victory. The third model, the 'Book Project Model' is a step-by-step process that an author can follow to ensure success in launching their book to the world. The steps include: obsess, clarify, research, outline or chunk, write, edit, produce, repurpose and reposition. What is the best kind of book? A finished one! My hope for this book is that it will help you, the non-fiction author, to have the best kind of book: a finished one. Together, the three models within will assist you to imagine and create a great book, while saving time, money and stress.
