Start With the Draft. Authority Author Series, #1

Unpack the Contents in your Mind and Create an Easy Book Plan that WorksIf you want to write a non-fiction book, whether you plan to do this yourself, or find a book ghost writer to help you, you need to start at the very beginning.  Start with the Draft.  The first draft of a non-fiction book is not something you can just 'magically do' without a plan.  So here's how to do the first things first, and start with the draft of your manuscript, by working through the easiest planning process to get that content out of your head and into the hands of your readers.
This book takes you through the preplanning - who your readers are, why they want this book, what you can do to help them take action making changes, and what kind of book it will be.  Then you develop your contents using the very easy Tri-Variant FrameworkTM that Dixie Carlton has been using and teaching for more than 15 years.  Start with the Draft is also about how to start with the end in mind, so that your nonfiction manuscript draft can work hard for you as a marketing tool beyond the book you wish to write.
This book also covers: the top mistakes authors make, how to overcome writers block, the value of pre-formatting your book draft, how to test content with beta readers before you finish writing a book. A step-by-step easy process for planning, writing, and preparing a nonfiction book ready for publishing.
