How this course was created

Hi, I’m Dale, your guide and course facilitator. I wrote my first book in 2012 and, since then, have gone on to publish many more. I have also coached a lot of people with a great message through the same process. Everything in the course is a result of my experience with my clients.

The key thing to know is that all good books start with a plan. If you want to write a book – plan it first!

This course takes you from having no idea to the right idea, to creating an outline and a chapter framework, and on to writing your first draft and self-publishing your book.
