You have a book you want to write . . . what happens now?

You’ve wanted to write your book, tell your story, share with the world your ideas, for as long as you can remember. Maybe it will change the world, open people’s eyes, make a difference. You want your book to be more than just a collection of pages. You want it to represent the words you put into it in a way that communicates your passion. Being an author is on your bucket list. This is something you have to do.

Writing, however, is one of those things that looks and sounds easier than it is. It can be overwhelming just thinking about where to start. Once you start, what happens next? How can you become the author you want to be on top of everything else?

What you are struggling with is exactly why we created this course. There are plenty of writing courses that will get you writing a book quickly. We help you create the framework to write your best book, not just any book. This course is about how to write.

Here’s how one of our authors put it:

“The Journey Institute Writer’s Bootcamp gave me a highly flexible, reusable scaffolding for moving from ideas to completed chapters. Never cumbersome or overly rigid, each step built on the last until my own experience showed me I could do this after all!”

-Peggy

FAQ Common questions about the program

Who is this program for?

This program was designed for people who have always wanted to write a book but weren’t sure where to start, what to do, or how to do it.

Additionally, authors who began writing but never finished their books.

Finally, for those who have an idea for a book but aren’t sure if they can write it, or are unsure how to take the idea and put it into book form.

This course will help build the foundation, the structure, that will help you put your book together; help you begin writing; and give you the momentum to finish your book within 6 months or less of completing the course.
What will I be doing in this program?

This is an intensive program (thus the term boot-camp) designed to help you move forward with your book.

We will be giving you assignments seven days a week for 4 weeks. You will be expected to write to prompts, create lists, write pages, chapters, descriptors and more.

Each day will build on the one before so that when you finish the program not only will you have already started writing chapters in your book, but you will have all the structure necessary for you to finish writing it.
What genre is this program for?
What is the time committment?

This 28-day course is designed to be intensive.

The work is for 28 consecutive days, including Saturdays and Sundays.

Each day will have different assignments that build upon one another. The assignments range in time commitment from fifteen to thirty minutes, to an hour or more depending on how quickly you write.

You will also be asked to provide feedback to others in the group which engages you in your author community as well as exposes you to other styles and helps you learn from others for your own writing.

The biggest commitment is to stay with the program for 28 days so that you get the most out of the experience.
Will Journey Institute Press publish my book if I take this program?
