Writers Group

Are you thinking of writing a book but don’t know how to get started?

Our Writers Group is designed to help authors—whether you’re just starting out or are already deep in the writing process—tackle the biggest challenges of self-publishing. From how to organize your ideas to polishing your manuscript for publication, we’ve got you covered. And we are thrilled to invite you to join us for a free trial session.

After introductions, each participant shares their progress on last month’s goals, discusses where they are in the writing process, and identifies any challenges or areas where they need support. The group then collaborates to provide guidance and feedback, helping everyone define their next steps. Finally, you’ll set a clear commitment for what you aim to accomplish before the next meeting.

The group meets monthly on the last Monday of the month from 7:00–9:00 PM (CST). Just register, and we’ll send you everything you need to join us for your first session—completely free!

Areas Our Writers Group Covers

Here are some of the key areas we explore during our sessions:

Research

Research is used to fill the gaps in your knowledge of the topic, learn what others have already said in order to embolden your unique voice in the field, and to determine the physical characteristics of books similar to yours. You don’t want to stand out as a self-publishing author; you want to fit in. What section of the library or bookstore would you find similar books in? What are the physical dimensions of the books, number of pages, types of covers, etc.? How is your work different from the work of others in your same category? Research is easy when you know what to do and where to look.

Writing

Treat the dates you make to write like your best client. Would you cancel with your best client to do laundry, go grocery shopping or go out with friends? You’ll learn methods to avoid canceling the appointments you make to write. You will also learn about the other biggest problems for new writers: trying to edit while writing and self-sabotage.

Cover Design

Unfortunately, everyone does judge a book by its cover. If you want people to buy your book in book stores and online, your cover needs to be a perfect fit. Most people would not be able to identify what makes them leave a book behind, but it is often something they can’t consciously identify about the cover. We know how to make you a book cover that sells.

Editing

Writing your book is only about 10% of the work involved. Once the words are out of your head, the editing begins. By the time you are finished, if you follow our process, you will have edited your material about 10 times. When you are finished, you will know your book forward and backward!

Peer Review

Peer review is a crucial step in non-fiction writing. You can leave this part out, but it is a great way to involve other perspectives to your content, making your book infinitely better.

Marketing

Once your book is in your hands, you will want to sell some copies, so it’s time to think of marketing. Actually, marketing begins the minute you know you are planning to write a book. You will learn how to talk about your book to people you know and to strangers. We will teach you how to have a successful book launch, assemble your street team and get your book into bookstores. We will also discuss whether your book is right for specialty audiences and how to approach them.
