Reading time: 3.06 Hey Reader, When I sat down to write about MicroBook Magic this time, I got stuck. Because honestly, look at the state of the world right now. And so inviting you to come and join me on a book writing adventure felt a bit… weird. But you know what? The world is always on fire in one way or another and despite that, creative folks keep creating. WE’RE STILL HERE. It’s what we do. Creating work that matters is an act of REVOLUTION. It’s an act of resistance. It’s a giant FUCK YOU to those who want to silence the changemakers and misfits and troublemakers and nuisances who want to see a better world for ALL of us. It’s a huge middle finger to external forces that we can’t control. You know where change starts? Right here. With ideas and words, written down, and shared. In books. And, yes, in social posts and podcasts and blogs and magazines and articles… but books Because books are MAGIC, friend. They are magic. They last, they endure, they do not get thrown away, they have weight and resonance. If you’re not writing your book because the time feels wrong or because you can do it next year or because you feel confused or overwhelmed or scattered — wait just a moment. How many times have you said this before? How many times are you going to say it again? How many times are you going to tell everyone about your brilliant book idea but not follow through? You have some great ideas but you’re doing anything with them — and your book isn’t going to write itself. You’re not gonna be able to tell everyone about your great ideas if you don’t follow through. Imagine starting your book now, and seeing it on a bookshelf a few months down the line. Imagine seeing someone reading your book. Imagine the beautiful messages you’ll receive when someone loves it enough to write and tell you how you helped them. But to get there, you have to take the first step. You have to get started, then keep writing. Well, not today, Satan! This time, you’re gonna follow through — and I’m here to help you. That’s what MicroBook Magic is for. I am here to show you how and where to start, keep you going, and introduce you to a group of incredible quirky geniuses who will cheer you on and lift you up and help you get your book written and across the finish line. And you’re gonna love the process. So. IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE TO: Clearly see and understand how your big book idea can turn into a book you’re proud of — so you can reach more people with your message, take your business to the next level, and feel like a superhero whenever you walk out onto a stage in front of people. Create a book that will become the beating heart of your business — so you always have absolute clarity on what you do, who for, and why. Make more money and confidently attract exactly the clients you want to work with, easily — because your book shows you off as the expert you truly are, articulates exactly what you do and who you do it for, and stands behind you every step of the way, boosting your confidence in yourself. Become the go-to expert in your industry — because your book speaks for you, lifting you up and setting you apart so you’re more visible, more desirable, and more trustworthy. Hold your published book in your hand—and see it for sale on Amazon and beyond. All this can happen for you — has happened for dozens of my clients — but only if we get started. Only if we stop putting it off and write the book. If you’re ready, if you’re not willing to compromise any more, if you’re done waiting and putting yourself and your book second — head over here and join us. We have our kick-off welcome call on Tuesday April 29. Get your book done with us! Have fun. See what happens next (it’s a ride!)
TTFN, Vicky

I use AI most days, it’s very useful. But I never, ever, EVEREVEREVER use it to kickstart my creative process. I don’t use it to outline my books or articles. I understand why people do: the blank page is a tough thing to face. It’s hard work to create something from nothing. But here’s a little secret: We’re...
Reading time: 4.28 Read this email in your browser. Hey Reader, Someone — I can’t remember who — gifted me a splendid little book. (thank you if it was you) It’s a 62-page, cloth-bound hard-back, beautifully designed, and just 105 x 158 mm. Pocket sized. It’s the content, though, that makes it a true MicroBook. It’s a book on grammar… but that’s far too broad a description. There are many, many books on grammar out there. Many, many of them are deeply boring. And out of date. (because grammar...

Hey Reader, “I didn’t have time to work on my book, I had a huge pile of ironing to do.” I’ve just made up this quote to illustrate the ridiculousness of societal norms and expectations and to bring you this life hack: stop ironing. Seriously. Stop it. (Unless you like ironing, in which case, crack on. My brother, the little weirdo, likes ironing. If it’s a leisure activity, by all means do not let me yuk your yum.) My cat peed on my ironing...
