Ep 042: How to from a first to a final draft The Authority Show
-
- Entrepreneurship
So when you tell me you’re going to write a book, I’ll be the first to make sure you know in advance that the actual writing part is a relatively small part of your journey.
Now I realize that could sway you from doing it altogether, but because I really care about you and your book is extremely important, I’m going to be straight with you from the start.
Because let’s be honest here: you aren’t writing a book for the fun of it. You’re writing it because you want it to work hard for you in your business and make a big impact on the people who will read it.
And in order to get people to actually read it, we’ve got to make sure it’s not pure shit.
So how do we do that? Well, on this episode of The AUTHORity Show, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to take your first rough draft all the way through making it fit to print.
Just know that no one loves this process. But if you want a better book on the other side, you buckle up, do the work, and get it done so you can celebrate with tons of sales (and brilliant reviews).
Grab a pen, tune in, and take notes because I’m covering a good bit today. Hit me up on Instagram @jessicakillingley and let me know what you liked most about it.
Know that you’re going to do a book, but … just not quite yet? Then you are going to want to get yourself a front row seat in my new workshop Get Ready To Write… A 90 minute workshop that will teach you simple steps you can take now to make writing your book a hell of a lot easier later!
Here are the highlights:
{0:58} The first draft will be a complete dumpster fire
{3:10} Read through with clean eyes
{5:57} The beta readers
{7:20} Clean up the obvious errors BEFORE you seek feedback
{9:59} Get a professional proofreader
{11:45} The main editorial stages
{13:28} Get a copy editor
