THE BOOK MENTOR

Write 12 Chapters in 12 Months with one-on-one guidance by published author

Have a book in you, but lack the discipline to complete it?

Want to learn while you write and write while you learn?

The Book Mentor is for you!

When you commit to my one-one-one mentoring program, you will write 12 chapters in 12 months. Guaranteed.

I will motivate, guide and support you through one year of writing your work of fiction, non-fiction or memoir. You will learn to write and improve your writing – as you write.

How does it work?

• We start by developing a synopsis of your project.
• Each month you email me your new writing on an agreed date with any issues or questions

What you’ll receive:

• Response by email with feedback/direction on the work received.
• Expert guidance through specific and constructive feedback
• Ongoing encouragement and motivation.
• Tools and ideas to help you set up productive writing habits.
• Accountability to your writing goals.
• Recommendations on further reading or research.

What is required to sign up?

• You need to be committed to producing words and progressing the work every month.
• You need to have a strong idea of the project you want to work on. It can be a start up, a piece of work you have started but not finished or the revision of a first draft to a publishable final draft.

Cost: $110.00 per month.

100% Money-back guarantee for first month.

*10% discount for previous workshop participants.

Stay motivated.

Stay on on track.

Learn as you write.

I created this programme for two reasons:

#1 - I would have LOVED to have something like this to help guide and motivate me through those uncertain days (years!) of writing my first novel. Someone who had done it and could answer all the questions I had about technique, structure, characters and whether or not I was actually ‘doing it right’ – you need all the help you can get to complete your first draft.

#2 – I noticed a lot of aspiring authors who had completed my workshops had set off, armed with new knowledge and great determination, but after a couple of months it all petered out in the face of an indifferent world and no deadline.

I realised that I could provide that deadline and honest, clear feedback that would help people improve their work as they went. From day one it was a great success with writers responding to deadlines – despite all resistance!

I now have a number of happy clients who have completed the programme – you can read their comments below.

Here’s what people have to say about 12in12:

“Amanda’s pithy, humorous and insightful style make her 12 on 12 series an absolute must for anyone trying to give birth to their first book” AW

“Aside from the obvious (getting feedback) the 12in12 programme has been most beneficial for my focus; it really helps to have monthly goals and I find I’m less distracted by day to day life. It also forces me to let someone read my work, which is something I would usually be too nervous to allow.” Angie

“Thanks to the motivation of a monthly deadline and the encouragement of Amanda’s feedback I have already written 20,000 words and remain on target for 12 chapters by year’s end.” Julian

“Left to my own devices I would flounder in my writing, but making the commitment to ’12 in 12′, has meant that I plant myself at my desk more often than not, knowing that I have the support of an astute teacher.” Danica

“I needed motivation and goals. Joining your 12 in 12 group is the best thing I could have done. Six months down the track I am finishing chapter 6.  Halfway there and still a challenge ahead which I am sure with your constant motivational emails, encouragement and advice I can meet.  Without such help I just know I would keep procrastinating.” Chris

“Writing my first book was something that I had always put off. Breaking it down to 12 months, writing a chapter a month, has worked really well for me because it’s only baby steps. I’ve found it to be very motivating and supportive. Not only do I receive feedback on my own work, it’s taught me the discipline of writing and I am now disciplined to writing something every day. Thank you Amanda!” Jo

“The 12 in 12 program works well for me as the monthly deadline keeps me on track.  It also helps me to legtimise the time I spend on writing.  As well, I find Amanda very supportive.” Dorothy

“Like many people I had the feeling that I had a novel in me.  Other creative writing courses have concentrated on the creative process but Amanda’s 12in12 has given me the confidence to start writing seriously and helped me to get chapters on paper.  The monthly deadline gives structure and external discipline and Amanda’s feedback is focused,encouraging and draws on the reality
of her own experiences writing and getting published.” Ros
