You have a book you want to bring into the world. Maybe you’ve stalled, maybe you’ve rushed, or maybe you’ve tried to figure it out by clicking through Amazon’s maze of advice. Wherever you are, this collection gives you the foundation you need to move forward with clarity instead of dread.

Plan Before You Pen brings together four tools that work as a single, coherent system. Each part removes guesswork, clears up long-standing confusion about how publishing actually functions, and helps you define the success target that fits your book—not the one the internet keeps trying to hand you.

This holiday release includes:

Publishing Myths & Truths Quick Reference

A fast, precise breakdown of the most common misunderstandings that derail writers before they begin. It lets you see what’s real, what’s noise, and what you can stop worrying about right now.

Publishing Realities Masterclass + Workbook

A one-hour, step-by-step walk through the full life of a book: concept, creation, production, distribution, and sales. You’ll see how the industry actually works, how money moves, who does what, and how your choices affect your outcome.
The companion workbook helps you define your book’s success target and understand how to reach it.

Microsoft Word for Writers

A 35-minute training that shows you how to clean, shape, and prepare your manuscript files the way professionals do. These skills give you a sharp edge over most of the competition and remove a huge amount of formatting stress from your writing process.

Enrollment in Manuscript Blueprints: Your Secret Weapon for Publishing Success

A four-week workshop held live on January 8, 15, 22, and 29.
You’ll learn how to barebones your manuscript, identify your strongest BISAC markets, locate sales strengths and obstacles, and craft a concise, industry-standard one-line pitch. By the end, you’ll have a structural map that shows what your book is, what it needs, and how to present it to agents, publishers, reviewers, and readers.

Together, these four pieces give you a practical, grounded path:
plan your book, prepare your materials, and move toward publication with a clear aim instead of guesswork.

If you’re ready to stop spinning, start shaping, and finally write the book you mean to write, Plan Before You Pen is your starting point.
