I have coached numerous clients using the strategies in this system, and I use it when I work with ghostwriting and editing clients as well. I’ve had to learn and figure out what makes books work; but you don’t have to because I’ve put it all together for you. And I know you can write your book!
If you're still not sure, I encourage you to think about it like this: Are you committed to writing your book? Or merely interested? I was recently listening on a teleseminar with a marketing expert who said if you’re committed, you’ll do whatever it takes; but if you’re merely interested, you’ll do what’s convenient. And successful people are truly committed.
If you look at your shelf or the shelves in the bookstore, every single book was written by someone who made the commitment to get it done. If you’re committed to writing your book, you’ll do whatever it takes. You’ll carve out time in your schedule to write. You’ll put other things off. You’ll invest in your writing skills. You’ll hire a coach or take a class to keep yourself accountable and moving forward. Because that's what it takes.
But if you’re only interested, you’ll do what’s convenient. You’ll wait until you have time to write. You’ll put the project off for whatever distraction comes up. You’ll forego guidance and try to do it all on your own. And you won’t see the value in investing in your skills, which means your book probably won’t ever get done. You can't do it without that commitment.
The Summit System will help you design a sustainable writing plan that fits within your already-busy schedule. And it doesn't take hours every day or weeks off work to get your book done. But all the time management help and guidance in the world won't help if you're not committed.
Commitment comes from within you. So, are you truly committed—in a do-whatever-it-takes way—to getting your book written and becoming a published author? Or is it just something you’d like to do one day, when it’s convenient? Only you know what's right for you. Only you know what keeps you up at night.
But if you're committed to getting your book out of your head and written, I guarantee this system will make it easier!
ATTENTION ASPIRING BUSINESS, SELF-HELP, HOW-TO, AND NONFICTION AUTHORS WHO ARE STRUGGLING TO WRITE THEIR BOOK:
What If You Could Skip All the Hurdles, All the Dead Ends, All the Guess Work, and All the Challenges to Planning and Writing a Book that Shares Your Story, Establishes Expertise, Attracts More Clients, Helps More People, Gets More Media Attention, and Allows You to Start Living Your BIG Mission?
Dear Aspiring Author:
You’ve probably heard that authoring a book will position you as the expert, open up new opportunities, attract ideal clients, allow you to raise your fees, allow you to help more people, get your story out, and a whole host of other business- and life-changing benefits.
It's all true. However, if you’re like most of my clients, you’ve thought a lot about writing your book. Maybe you’ve even started. But you haven’t been able to finish—this is a very common situation. Even though deep down you want to get it done, you haven’t written that book. You’re stuck.
I know how overwhelming writing a book can feel -- it's hard to get organized, it's hard to get started, and it's hard to find the time to actually do the writing. And when you do get a chance to write, you don't know where to start and easily get distracted.
Writing a book is like climbing a mountain and that's actually where the name for my business, The Writer's Sherpa, came from. You know, you may have this book inside you that you're really compelled to get out, but you feel like you're standing at the foot of Everest looking up.
There's this behemoth of a mountain in front of you and climbing it involves all these risks, like what if no one likes the book, what if you don't get the book done, what if you can't put all the material together the way you want it to be.
But on the summit, you know there's something really really wonderful waiting for you. A completely different view of the world and new opportunities and confidence and all these wonderful things. You just have to get there. Well, I can help lead you to the top of that mountain, because the path is there, you just have to follow it.
Absolutely! This program works best for nonfiction books that combine elements of your personal story with how-to or instructional pieces you want your readers to learn. It also works well for essay types of nonfiction books, where your goal is to state a case or share information to establish expertise.
Unlike other book-writing systems (and I know there's a ton of them out there), this system focuses on the quality of the finished product. Anyone can write a book in a weekend or in a month—but not everyone knows how to write a great book that's engaging and fun to read. A book that serves as an authentic extension of you and your business, pulling ideal clients to you, attracting media attention, and making you stand out from all the other folks in your niche.
You can slap together a book that nobody wants to read, or you can write a book that everyone raves about. If quality is important and you don't want to write just-another-self-help/business book, then this is the book-writing system for you.
What is The Summit Book Writing Course?
I've put everything I know about writing a great book in this program…
1. Prepare for Your Journey—address any mindset issues that might be holding you back, set your goals, and create a writing schedule that easily fits into your schedule, so finding the time to write won’t hold you back for one more day and your book will FINALLY get done!
2. Choose the Mountain You Want to Climb—determine what your book is REALLY about and whom it can REALLY help, and get to the heart of your passion and purpose so you have fun writing it and your book connects with the readers who will love what you have to say and want more from you.
3. Plot Your Path—put all the pieces in place by organizing your material into a system, creating a working outline, and using a chapter template to simplify the writing process and get all your ideas together in a way that flows naturally.
4. Ready, Set, Put One Foot in Front of the Other—draft your book with clarity and ease using techniques that help you stay on track and make it simple to write a compelling, reader-focused pages and chapters, so your readers get hooked from page one and don’t set your book aside they reach "The End."
5. Gain Altitude—use strategies that make everything you write exciting, fun, and interesting to read so your book is compelling and attractive to your prospects, the media, and broad audiences and you and your business stand out and get noticed. This is where it all comes together and your authentic voice shines!
6. Reach the Summit—add value to your book, give your ideal readers next steps for engaging with you, and polish your manuscript using a step-by-step system so your writing is tight, concise, clear, and ready for the reading world.
My Summit Book Writing System gives you everything you need to plan, write, and finish, not just any book, your BEST book, so you can start leveraging it to establish expertise, get more media attention, attract more ideal clients, and share your story with the world.
And most importantly, the whole book-writing process works with your goals, your unique personality, and your voice, so your book becomes an extension of YOU—representing you in the world, working for your business, and attracting all the right opportunities and readers to YOU!
"Melinda,
You accomplished the impossible with me. Honestly, I've been afraid to write anything, so writing a book was unthinkable. Your program has taken the fear away and I actually look forward to putting time into writing now versus looking for excuses to postpone the chore. Congratulations on helping me turn my ideas and fears into productive communication!
I highly recommend your program to anyone! If I can enjoy writing now, believe me, anyone can enjoy it with your program."
Bill Moore
Your writing lessons truly guide the writer through the entire process from start to finish-from the book plan and defining your topic all the way through the finished product. Your lessons start by helping the individual get clear, give direction and continue to keep them on track while they write.
I think that as long as the writer is committed he or she would be able to finish their book using your lessons.
Sheila Hawkins, “The Personal Productivity Pro,” www.thirdeyegroup.com

There's nothing more frustrating than knowing you have a book inside you and not being able to get it out--whether it's time, not knowing where to start, or being unsure about what you need to do to make your book great.
Plus, a book is an extension of yourself, in a way, that's sent out into the world to represent you and your ideas. And that can be kind of scary, like you're on the verge of something big, and although you know it will be good for you, you're a little scared to jump. And you want your book to be really good. You want it to be well written; you want it to represent you in a positive way.
My first job in publishing was working at a self-publishing company that served speakers, coaches, consultants, and other experts who wanted a book to establish expertise and grow their business. For the past seven years, I've worked with aspiring authors as a ghostwriter, editor, and teacher. I have a bachelor's degree in journalism, and I have a master's in creative writing.
So I've spent a lot of time working on books and figuring out what makes them successful--how they are constructed, how the material should organized, how the author uses stories and example, and how the author leads the reader through their information.
Books have an underlying structure, a formula, with certain pieces that make them work as a whole. Nonfiction books, particularly self-help and business and essay, have core elements that are arranged and compiled in ways that engage their readers, communicate the author's expertise in the absolute best way, and ultimately compels their readers to take action.
Once you figure out all these pieces for your book, everything will fall into place. Writing will be much easier and more productive. You'll feel confident in your book and your writing. And your book can be finished much faster and with much less guess work.
Writing a Book is a Big Project--Without Knowing Exactly What to Do Next, It's Easy to Get Lost...
Do you feel like...
- You never have time to write?
- You have lots of ideas, but you don't know where to start writing?
- You aren't sure how to make all your ideas fit into a compelling book concept?
- Your writing isn't strong enough?
- You don't know how to make your book compelling and interesting to read?
- You've got an okay draft, but you're not sure what to do next and how to make it outstanding?
- You aren't sure how to write your book in a way that effectively draws clients and opportunities to you?
Imagine a Book Writing Course that's Having an Experienced Writer and Book Editor Guiding You Step-by-Step through Planning, Writing, and Polishing--Not Just Any Book--but a GREAT Book that Your Readers will Love...
The Summit Book Writing Home Study System is a Blueprint for Your Best Book!
Before starting Melinda's program, I had an idea of what I wanted to do and a semblance of an organized book. Now I have greater clarity over how the book will be organized, greater clarity about target audience, and a better understanding of the importance of writing to them. I have a book outline and clarity on how I will use this book in my business.
Melinda's book writing program covers ALL aspects of writing a book! I like how she covered the basics and fundamentals, along with advanced information. She clearly has been involved in writing books and her experience is helpful in providing useful examples. Her passion and enthusiasm for writing are evident throughout the course.
Teresa O'Brien, Teresa@ToSuccessPlanning.com, Midland, Michigan
Over and over again, I see aspiring authors make the same mistakes without even realizing it. When your goal is to establish expertise or share a message or build a business, figuring out how to put together a great book, even when that's your chosen medium, isn't always the best use of your time. It's not your brilliance work.
You can try to figure out what will make your book work on your own (the hard way). Or, you can skip the hurdles and follow a system that works. This is the fastest path to success.
Think about it: you don’t cook without a recipe; you don’t try to find a location without directions; and you don’t put things together without instructions. Why should your book—something that’s so important to you—be any different?
Think about your most important motivation for writing your book...
- You want to share your story with the world;
- Fulfill your mission to help people;
- Realize your dream of writing a book;
- Establish expertise and grow your business;
- And make positive change in other people’s lives…
You DON'T want to spend hours of study and practice figuring out how to put together an effective, powerful book. Doing it on your own puts your most important goals on hold. This is why I put together the Summit Book Writing Home Study System.
I took another writing class prior to Melinda's. It was a good class and it delivered everything that was promised. However what I wanted was help producing a well-written book. The coach's objective was to plug me into a system to quickly and easily complete a book. If I had the ability I could produce a really good book in that class but I wasn't going to receive the coaching that would show me how.
Melinda's course not only offered what I hoped for and needed but her one-on-one coaching session was exceptionally insightful. She took the time to understand my goal and guide me making suggestions on how my business could benefit from crafting and writing a book that would be interesting to my readers while providing them with value and transformational results from my proprietary system outlined in my book. This was clarity and direction that by itself was worth the course investment. I highly recommend Melinda and look forward to future coaching from her.
Linda Scott, Founder of Changes Life Coaching Center, www.simpleweightsolution.com
I was a bit apprehensive and unsure that my topic would be interesting to enough people (note: my book isn't about my profession). In addition I couldn't envision my way to the end of the book and how I would conclude it.
Melinda gave me valuable insight and excellent tips on how to resolve those concerns. After taking her course and talking with her directly, I am confident in my idea and how to accomplish the tasks necessary to write my book.
I recommend working with a coach like Melinda. She is trained in her profession and accessible when you need her help.
