Writing a book can be daunting. Taking a step back to reflect before starting to write can help you identify roadblocks and prepare for the task.

In this worksheet, you’ll define what your book is about and get clear on why you want to write it. You’ll also look honestly at your time, your writing space, your energy and the support around you.

​The About page of your website is the trickiest one to write. For starters, it’s hard to talk about yourself, your passion, and your journey. And when you manage it, you need to decide what to say and how.

This worksheet will help you gather the type of content expected to be found on an About page. Based on it, you can then create yours.

This comprehensive questionnaire lists the questions you might want to ask your beta readers. They are straightforward but detailed to encourage actionable comments and suggestions.

You probably won’t send all these questions to an unpaid beta reader, but you still can use this questionnaire to select what you want to ask.
