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.

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.

We specialize in non-fiction, and the program was designed with that in mind, however, the program also works for fiction writers as well.

The Journey Institute Press is primarily a non-fiction publisher, but will also have an imprint arm for fiction.

Yes.

There is a cost in creating and managing this program.

However, we also understand that for some, cost is a barrier to entry in being an author and we want to remove that barrier.

So, we have created scholarships for those who cannot afford the cost of the program.  It’s a “Pay what you can” approach.

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.

We are in the process of seed funding Journey Institute Press. 
While we cannot guarantee publication of any manuscript, those who complete this writing program will receive priority consideration of their manuscripts.
