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

now with access to Bennett
Your AI publishing assistant built for Birth Your Book.
Bennet carries the full course content, understands structure, and responds to your pace… to the extent that Gen-AI can. Think of her as your 24/7 process partner: here to clarify, guide, and prompt you when you’re stuck.
* please retain your sovereignty and boundaries, and do not let AI write your book!
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.

How do I get the best out of the programme?
