Birth Your Book
A steady path from first spark to bookshelf. Built for authors who care what they create.
Overview
Birth Your Book is a practical self-guided process for creating and publishing your book, with live group support and optional extra input along the way.
It’s for authors who take their readers seriously. Who intend to publish with integrity, not urgency. And who respond to a structure that helps, not hurries.
What's Included
- One year of full access from your enrolment date
- 18-step framework, guiding you from idea to launch
- Self-paced lessons with examples, templates and tools
- Group coaching calls every two weeks
- Optional 1:1 review sessions whenever you need them #
- Access to expert interviews on editing, design and marketing
- A library of practical bonus recordings to support your process
- Conversations with real authors across genres who share what worked, what didn’t, and what they wish they had known
Who It's For
- Soulful entrepreneurs writing a signature book
- Coaches, facilitators and teachers gathering lived wisdom
- Creatives with a clear voice but a scattered process
- Professionals sharing their process with integrity
- Anyone who cares more about quality than quick wins
I don't know how Sara has done it, but knowing her and how she works, I’m not surprised at all. Sara supports you to get clear on your whys and who-fors and it seems to be done in a seamless way of empowerment, which I know is no mistake and the whole reason for this course. This means that every book written will be unique and true to the writer, because Sara isn’t showing you how to write it.
Thinking Ahead
This is advance notice that we have some optional extras for further along the path, which do come with a small fee. We want you to know about these options now, so you can plan for them if you think you might be interested.
