Birth Your Book

A steady path from first spark to bookshelf. Built for authors who care what they create.

£500 for 9 months of training and support.

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 know it takes more than inspiration to finish. And who appreciate a clear structure that respects their own rhythm.

Now with 6 months of access to "Archie": Your AI publishing assistant built for pattern and archetypes. Archie carries the full course content, understands your structure, and responds in your tone… to the extent that AI can.Think of her as your 24/7 process partner: here to clarify, guide, and prompt you when you’re stuck.
After 6 months, you’re welcome to subscribe separately to keep her close.
* please retain your sovereignty and boundaries, and do not let AI write your book!

Life's Simple Recipes

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.

Hosting and Promotion

If your book aligns with Inky Paw Books' ethos, you will be eligible for optional hosting and promotion with our clubhouse.

To explore this possibility, visit our Authors’ Toolkit page and bring any questions to your coaching calls. We’ll help you understand the criteria and see if we're in alignment.  

Optional Done-For-You Publishing Pack
(Or Pick-n-Mix Services to Suit)
