Jennie Nash – Blueprint for a Book: Memoir

Jennie Nash – Blueprint for a Book: Memoir

It’s time to take ownership of your book idea.

In this course, you’ll develop the foundational elements of your novel, start thinking about the demands of the marketplace, and get crystal clear on what you need to do to bring your book to life.

Blueprint for a Book goes beyond simply plotting your book. You’ll drill down into the most important elements that will drive your novel forward.

Without these in place before you start writing, you could risk years of frustration and a book that goes nowhere. But with them, you will come into your full powers as an author.

Make sure your foundation is strong so you can write forward with confidence.
