How to Write and Publish Your Book

Pete will lead you along the timeline from your first hazy idea to the published book, making sure you understand the process and are in a position to make the most of each step in terms of producing the best possible book, testing impact and building an audience along the way. He will also explore options for funding your publication.

Pete’s crowdfunding campaign for Shouting Quietly fully funded the editing, proofreading, publishing, printing and distribution – whilst getting pre-sales in 15 countries – and enthusiastic testimonials before the book had even been printed – plus a number of prominent bloggers and podcasters eager to help promote it. It’s all about meticulous forward planning – you’ll learn exactly how.

ICF credentialled PCC coach was Business Editor of craft & design magazine for 7 years, and his work features regularly on Psychologies Magazine’s Life Labs platform.
