Google University can only teach you so much. I find that a lot of aspiring authors resort to free information instead of receiving customized coaching and consulting.

If you are writing either fiction or nonfiction and you feel stuck, you may want to consider hiring a developmental book editor. A developmental editor looks at the overall story structure and makes recommendations on how to improve your manuscript.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

How about you give yourself the best gift ever, which is to birth your book to breakthrough to your next level of impact, influence, and income.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

It doesn't have to take years to write your nonfiction book if you have a game plan and strategy.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Every year, you write in your journal about becoming an author, but what aligned action have you taken?

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Limiting beliefs are holding you back from writing your breakthrough book, sis.

Your story is good enough.

You are worthy to share your story with the world.

Your story is important enough to write and publish.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

I work with women who are ready to stop playing small and finally birth their breakthrough books into the world with confidence!

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Writing a book on your own without guided support can be challenging. Why not get the support that you deserve, queen?

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Sure, anyone can write a mediocre book, but not everyone can craft a masterpiece that shifts the culture.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

When writing your non-fiction magnetic book, imagine you are speaking directly to your ideal client and customer. Your book serves as a love letter and resource for your audience.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Once you know your book's core message, then you can write your non-fiction book with ease.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

It's time that you manifest the vision that God has given you, queen. Write it down and make it plain.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

You must take those notes written in your journal and place them in a digital document, whether it is Microsoft Word or a Google Doc. Yes, you can start with handwriting your book, but eventually, your manuscript needs to be in an electronic format.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Journal writing and book writing are not the same. If you have book notes in your journal, that is not your manuscript. Those are your brainstorming ideas.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Made a couple of tweaks to Street Magic: Stories and Tales. So excited to release it into the world!

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Don't give up on your dream to become an author. With the right support and guidance, you can publish a book that impacts lives. Your story is needed, beloved.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

I'm taking it back to my creative writing roots! Before I became a book coach, my passion always has been writing. With that being said, I am reprinting my short story collection, Street Magic: Stories and Tales.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Writing a book requires willpower. When I published my book, Street Magic: Stories and Tales, in 2011, I had the benefit of being a part of a robust writing community. Doing it solo would have prolonged the process.

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Affirmations are a way to speak life into your dreams. Instead of negative self-talk, how about you affirm and encourage yourself?

[Mary B. Banks @mbanks6]

Currently working on a self-love ❤affirmation journal 📚!

It is so exciting and rewarding to birth this labor of love into the world.
