The Foundations of Your Book
A 90 minute session to work through your book idea, to discuss the foundations that you can put in place for it and to decide on whether now is the right time to start.
Should I write a book? Will my idea work? How do I know if I am ready?
These are the questions that I am most commonly asked by budding writers.
They, and you, have built a successful business. You have a signature methodology that really works and a unique perspective in your field. You know that there is a book inside you, and you have felt this for a while.
What you don't have is certainty about whether this particular idea is the right one, or whether now is the right moment to pursue it.
That's exactly what this session is designed to answer.
The Foundations of Your Book covers two key areas: book strategy and readiness
A little about Suzanne
Suzanne has spent decades working with writers, first as a teacher and then as an author coach. She works with business leaders and novelists to help them write books that are strategically sound and genuinely worth reading.
Her clients tend to be first time authors who have built successful businesses and who want their books to reflect that, add to their credibility and signal them as being the go to expert in their field.
What we work through in the session
"Most of the business leaders I work with are not short of ideas or confidence. What they are short of, however, is clarity: a precise understanding of who they are writing for, what case they are making and why their book is distinct from anything else in their space. Writing without that clarity is expensive both in time and in effort and can lead to a poorer quality of finished work.
The Foundations of Your Book is here to help you as it works through two key areas: strategy and readiness.
First, your book strategy: the purpose behind writing it, the argument at its heart, the specific reader it is for and the message that will make it stand out. These are the core pillars that determine whether your book will do what you need it to do.
Second, your readiness: whether your content foundation is strong enough, whether this book aligns with where your business is going and whether you have the time and commitment to see it through. I would rather tell you honestly that now is not the right moment than watch you spend six months on something that does not serve you."

Client Testimonial
"The book strategy session with Suzanne was excellent. I made big strides towards writing my book as she helped me gain clarity on many different aspects, some of which I had not even considered. Suzanne has a lovely presence which makes you feel calm and confident.
She really helped me to believe in myself and my book and I know I can turn my dream of being an author into reality."

What you receive
Before the session, you will receive a questionnaire about your book idea.
During the 90 minutes, you will work through your the foundations of your book: strategy and readiness. you will be asked challenging questions. but these will lead to you knowing exactly what your book is about , who it's for and whether you're ready to write it.
After the session, you'll receive written feedback and a clear set of next steps, whether that means moving forward with confidence or refining your thinking before you do.
All of this for £297.
Some clients leave with a clear strategy and the confidence to write independently. Others decide they want sustained support through the writing process, through my Flourish author coaching programme or by using my Collaborative Writing Partner service.
Either way, the Foundation of Your Book session gives you the clarity to make that decision well.

A note on time
"The intensive is 90 minutes. The alternative, if you begin writing without a clear strategy, is often months of work that either stalls or produces something that does not achieve what you hoped. I am not in the business of telling people what they want to hear, but I am genuinely confident that this session is one of the most efficient investments you can make before you begin."

THE FOUNDATIONS OF YOUR BOOK
A few questions answered . . .
Is this only for writing business books?
The framework works for any genre, and I regularly work with business owners who are writing fiction as well as first time novelists. If that is you, we can absolutely work together.
What if my book idea turns out not to be viable?
That is a good outcome, not a disappointing one. It is far better to know before you start. If that happens, I will help you either refine the idea or think through alternatives that better serve what you are trying to achieve.
Do I need to have started writing my book?
Not at all. The intensive is designed for the very beginning of the process. All you need is an idea and a genuine interest in exploring whether it can work. If you have started to write your book, you might find that my Read & Review service is a better fit.
What does it cost?
£297
What if I have questions afterwards?
Your written feedback covers everything we discuss, but if you need clarification you can always message me directly by emailing [email protected]
Is the session held online or in person?
The session can be taken online or in person, depending on location.
How soon after booking is the session held?
The session may be booked within a month. As soon as the booking is made, the questionnaire will be sent out. This must be completed a minimum of 3 days before the session. When you book in, you'll be able to choose a time that suits you from the booking calendar.
What happens if I want more support after the session?
Some clients leave with a clear strategy and the confidence to write independently. Others decide they want sustained support through the writing process, through Flourish or the Collaborative Writing Partner service. Either way, the session gives you the clarity to make that decision well.
I've already started writing - is this still the right service for me?
Not quite. The Foundations of Your Book is designed for the very start of the process, before you begin writing. If you've already got pages down and want feedback on what you've written, Read & Review is a better fit.
Ready to find out if your book idea will work?
You've done the quiz - 'Are you ready to write your book?' (If you haven't yet, please access it here.) You know where your weaknesses are. Now it's time to get the clarity and strategy you need to move forward with confidence.
Book your Book Strategy Intensive today and finally know whether you're sitting on a book idea that could genuinely transform your business
