Hey Reader,

On a call with a brilliant future author on Friday, she said two things that struck me.

I do! And I am so very fortunate to have built this business that feels like joy much of the time. It’s good to be reminded of how much I love what I do.

And this was a fantastic reminder of what I am brilliant at.

When someone has an idea for a book, it’s very personal to them. It’s important to them on their individual level.

And that is enough.

BUT. That can also stop people from putting their ideas out there in book form, because they think, “Oh well, who would be interested in my little book? In my ideas? They’re important to ME, but why would anyone else care?”

I get it, because each of us is the main character in our own lives. Each of us inhabits the centre of our own universe.

Here’s something else that’s true: every idea exists because of the world we move through and affects it in some way.

Not every book will become a movement. Not every book should! Sometimes it’s enough to write a silly little profound book about not eating frogs, or a comedy interlude about corgis.

But some will.

Sometimes it takes someone else, someone outside of us, to hear our ideas and say, “Wait. I love it — because here’s how it connects to this and this and this. Here’s why it matters right now and here’s who it will matter to, and here’s how it can become a goddam movement.”

That, for me, is so exciting.

What if your book could start a movement?

What if your idea could take off and fly, and create something you can’t even conceive of right now?

How amazing would that be?

If you’ve got an idea that feels too small, too personal, or too “just mine” — I’d love to hear it. Because that’s exactly the kind of idea that surprises people.

I have a few spots open for a Book Blueprint Session — a focused 90-minute call where we take your idea and work out what it could actually become, who it’s for, and why it matters. You walk away with clarity, structure, and a line drawn out into the universe.

Drop me a reply to book your session at £1,450 +VAT or get in touch if you have questions.

TTFN,

Vicky 🫡
