Reading time: 1.28 346 words Hey Reader, A lot of people have done MicroBook Magic now. I think 44 at last count. Sometimes they know what they’re doing and they’re quite happy with their idea, and they just need a place to start with their book. But sometimes they’re not sure that writing a book is even something they could do. They’ve got all these mental blocks in the way. More than once, I’ve had people join and after the first week say, “I know I signed up for this, but I didn’t really think I’d be able to actually write a book — but now I really believe I can.” And then they do. It’s really fun to watch people convince themselves, as they do the work of MicroBook Magic, that this is something they can do. Right at the start, we dig into those mental blocks and challenges and doubts. We take a good look at your idea — or ideas multiple if, like many of my clients, you can’t decide between them — and get clear on it. The first call is all about:
Quick tip: the biggest mistake most people make is trying to cram everything they know into one book. That’s MUCH too big and overwhelming and the book gets abandoned real fast. Instead, I get you to think about what tiny transformation you’d like your reader to experience by the end of your book. What would move them a small step closer to their goals — and to YOUR goals? And THEN you’re ready to roll up your sleeves and write. MicroBook Magic Season 7 begins on Monday October 20 (that’s in FOUR DAYS) and there’s still time to join us. If you have questions, reply to this email and ask. I’ll get back to you fast. Otherwise — enrol here:

Judging you. You should be writing, it sneers. What’s wrong with you? Can’t form a thought? Pfft. You may as well not bother. Why don’t you just open Instagram again and doomscroll until your eyes bleed? That’s good for your mental health, muppet. Yeah, yeah, tell yourself it’s “research” if it...

We have this tool at our disposal that can, on a global scale, help fight climate change, revolutionise medicine, surgery, and diagnostics, leaving doctors free to improve patient care, eliminate poverty. On a more individual level, it can automate boring, time-consuming tasks, reduce admin, transcribe and edit meetings and calls so they make sense… And we’re out...

Hey Reader, Hitting publish on your book is a bit like walking through a wasp convention covered in jam holding a sign that says “please don’t hurt me!” They say writing a book is brave, and it is… But SHARING it is the real hero move when it FEELS like 90% of the internet is screaming abuse into the void like it’s an Olympic sport. Just because something’s loud, doesn’t mean it’s true. I read today that only around 7% of...
