FAQ section

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to have a book idea?

Nope, I'll send some gentle prompts and a video to get you thinking.

How many words should each chapter be?

It's up to you. I've created journals that were light on word count and a co-authored book that was 70k+ words made up of a lot of posts I'd already written...

Could you write 5000 words a month? That's going to get you somewhere towards a finished draft.

Where should I write it?

I'm writing mine inside my Substack 'Creatively Conscious'. You could do the same or in a google or word doc.

Why Substack?

Substack is my online home, it's easy to publish there and keep an eye on feedback and I find it an inspiring space to hang out.

Can you help me set up a Substack?

Yes I have two 60 minute classes that arrive in your welcome email. Here's the most up-to-date look around the platform - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22_RAIzHSGE
