Inspire A Book

InspireABook: 8 Week Intensive Book Building eCourse

Now You Too Can Study The Simplest Book Building System in The World from The Comfort of Your Own Home

“Whatever stage your book is at – give yourself the gift of this workshop.”
Esther Hart, Author, Speaker, Editor. www.authorsolutions.com

Based on Julie Salisbury’s sell-out InspireABook™ intensive workshops, this 8-week home study course will give you a complete blueprint for planning, writing, packaging, publishing and selling your book – whether non-fiction, fiction, poetry or your life story.

This is the first time Julie has delivered her acclaimed publishing programme as a home-study e-course and she’s graciously allowed us to launch it exclusively (and at a rock-bottom price) to our Publishing Academy members.

“Julie not only helped me to write my book, she helped me become
a published author and take my career to a whole new level!”
Dr. Daniel Scott, Msc.D., Author of Verbal Self Defense in The Workplace

During this intensive 8-week course you will learn:

How to get organized, get focused and overcome writers block!
How to use “mind-maps” to organize your outline and chapters.
How to use the unique InspireABook™ binder system to organize your material.
Understand the editing and publishing industry and all the options available to you to get published professionally.
How to write a winning book proposal and marketing plan for mainstream publisher submission.
How to market your book and get media exposure

“This workshop has been everything I had hoped it would be and more. I learned the fundamental step to creating my book. I learned that I need to make my book more personal. The mind-mapping helped me to gain a lot of clarity – also your personal feedback as to what was needed to complete my book was extremely helpful. The publishing information was all new to me.”
Agnes Amundrud

What You’ll get – class-by-class

If you follow along and put in the work then you could have
your book ready to be published within just 8 short weeks.

Week One – Motivation and Obstacles, Features and Benefits

What kind of book are you writing? Who is your reader? Why do you want them to read it? What will they learn? This will help you get a tight focus for your book, enable you to present your “sales pitch” and work on the outline for your book.

“Very enlightening and resourceful, full of useful information. I feel empowered and rejuvenated to take the torch and run with it. That I have the ability to see it to fruition and I have new tools and skills. It has shown me that my possibilities are endless, despite obstacles. (Julie) had great enunciation, great presence and I love your enthusiasm. I would highly recommend InspireABook to other writers. Dynamic, exciting, fast moving, informative, transformative, and for me, a new direction to (inner) greatness.”
Tina Anderson

Week Two – Creating the Title Pages

“We are not supposed to judge a book by it’s cover, but we do!”. If your book does not look professional inside and out you lose your credibility and book stores will not stock your book. Use the InspireABook™ templates to produce a professional layout just like the mainstream publishers! We will teach you how to write a winning back page sales copy and pick a winning title and cover.

“I was told it would be helpful – it was more than that. Although my book was written I had no idea how to “sell” it to a publisher/agent – even myself! I now have my “sales pitch” I learned tricks for the next book especially how to consolidate piles of info into one secure and appropriate place.”
Barbara McLauchlin

Week Three – Organizing the Chapters and Content

The InspireABook™ system gives you a simple “build your book” template to organize and capture your moments of inspiration.

Week Four – Review, Chapter Titles and Layout

Is your book organized chronologically by memorable moments or key points? Have you used quotations, photographs, letters and journal notes? How do you decide what size your book should be, what font to use, how wide your margins should be, as well as the placement of headers, footers and titles?

“Julie’s lively, intelligent facilitation makes this workshop relevant to the beginner or intermediate book writer, it helped me to know where to begin and that I need more structured writing time.”
Vicki Pilot

Week Five – Getting Ready for Publishing – Edits & Reviews

If you think your book is finished, think again! Learn how to do your own first draft edit, content edit, peer review, fact check, second draft evaluation, final proof read, and save money on professional editing services.

Week Six – Publishing Layout and Format

Setting your page size and margins to suit your book size, getting the digital file ready for printing.

“Very stimulating, great information. Julie is enthusiastic and supportive of individuals, (I) appreciated the personal attention and insights on the mind map. I understood more about the importance of the book cover and the writing synopsis to see the readers’ perspective and what they will learn. This was a big insight for me. The last hour on marketing and formatting was great info.”
Elaine Harvey

Week Seven – The Marketing Plan

Take control of your own book! Don’t pay for the services of an expensive publicist when you can do it yourself! Most big publishing houses don’t tell you that your advance will barely cover the cost of your book tour accommodation and transportation. Did you know that traditional publishers expect a marketing plan with the submission of your manuscript and probably won’t even look at it without one? Did you know that the average royalty works out to around $1 a book and you sign over all the rights?

If you want to be discovered learn how to market yourself to get noticed! Mark Twain, Beatrix Potter and Margaret Atwood all self-published their first book and took control of their own destiny!

“It gave me a framework to focus my efforts. Given me structure and templates to use.
I need to keep my reader in mind throughout my writing.”
Joan Duncan

Week Eight – How to get TV/Radio/Newspaper interviews

Bookstores might make your book available, but it’s up to you to drive people there to buy it! It is up to you to create the demand! Your local media loves to report on their local authors and we show you how to write a press release and where to send it.
