Start Messy, Finish Mighty is designed to fit directly into your lifestyle.
Let's not beat around the bush: writing a book takes commitment, effort, and time. We don't claim writing a book is easy. However, the Start Messy, Finish Mighty method is specifically designed to be more intuitive and fit writing your book into your lifestyle. My goal is for you to have a first draft within 12 weeks with a 5 - 10 hour/week time commitment.
Editing, typesetting, and design times vary; on the whole, expect 6 - 9+ months to complete and publish your book, during which time you will be promoting your book so you can reap the rewards of your efforts through speaking, media, videos, podcasts, and myriad other opportunities!
We always conduct a free 30 minute consultation for our Executive Leader, Publishing Professional, and Mighty Manuscript packages to determine if we're a mutual fit, following which we'll provide a detailed, customized pricing proposal specific to you. I hope you'll join us!
