Outline Your Book in a Weekend is a self-guided online course for holistic, heart-centered entrepreneurs that need a solid outline so they can finally write a transformational nonfiction book without getting stuck in overwhelm, confusion, or writer’s block.
Maybe this sounds familiar?
You’re not sure how to get started on your book because your ideas feel all swirled together. Because you’re a holistic thinker who knows everything is interrelated, it’s hard to organize and pull apart the individual threads of your work.
With years, perhaps decades, of expertise under your belt, you want to generously share everything you know in this book. But how are you going to squeeze all that wisdom between the covers of a book?
Someone told you to just start writing and the book will magically come together on the page. As long as you have a bunch of words written down, you can always go back and edit them later, right?
I know firsthand how hard it is to get clear about ideas that feel nuanced and deeply interwoven.
How do you bring form to a lifetime of work?
How do you distill your embodied wisdom onto the page in black and white?
It’s so disappointing to feel like your book is ripe and alive, yet you’re not sure how to bring it into form. Some days you think that chasing a wild muse is the way to go. Other times you feel lost and disoriented within your own work, so you try to impose an overly rigid structure or water your ideas down.
What if your book could benefit from both of these approaches, thoughtfully integrated and harmonized together?
Outline Your Book in a Weekend offers you that middle way: you create just enough structure and framework that you no longer feel tossed and turned by the whims of inspiration. Yet you still have the freedom and flexibility to let your creative spirit guide the writing process.
I would love to teach you how to dance between these two aspects: structure and intuition.
Let’s talk about healthy boundaries…
Artists know that boundaries and constraints are an effective tool for generating inspiration and new ideas. Once you have a structure in place, you finally feel safe enough to play, explore, and write with less doubt and more confidence. The outline doesn’t dampen your creativity - it’s a powerful framework that keeps your creative energy flowing.
When you embrace both structure and intuition, you become unstoppable. I believe these two elements need each other, and when you find the right balance between them, you’ll find yourself writing your book with more ease and less resistance.
Imagine walking away from this course with a clear and flexible outline, organized in such a way that every time you sit down to write you make tangible progress towards your finished book.
This is a one-time payment for ongoing access to the course.
(Meaning, you have access for the lifetime of the course)
This is what you’ll learn with Outline Your Book in a Weekend:
Generate a clear and flexible outline, organized in such a way that every time you sit down to write you make tangible progress towards your finished book.
Customize the four basic nonfiction outline templates in the course so they fit your unique book vision. You never have to stare at a blank page again (unless you want to!)
Get clear on your purpose for writing this book, and better understand the community of readers who can’t wait to read what you have to share.
Enjoy your outline as an effective tool to stop procrastinating and dissolve your self-doubt and writer’s block.
If you know you want to write a book that establishes your expertise and thought leadership in your field, but you feel like all you have are scattered notes and half-finished Google docs, this course will show you how to organize your ideas and map out a clear, realistic, and flexible plan to get your brilliant book out of your head and into the world.
Your course includes:
Video trainings that walks you through each step of the outlining process.
4 downloadable Nonfiction Outline Templates (in both PDF and Google docs.)
Video tutorial to show you exactly how to fill out each template (and customize it to make it your own.)
Book Vision + Purpose workbook to get clear on why this book is important, and who you’re really writing it for.
Everything in this course has been tried and tested by my students and clients, so I know it’s an effective process.
“Outline Your Book in a Weekend was so inspiring, it made me excited to write. With an outline, the book felt more like a list of delicious writing prompts. I’ve already outlined the next couple of books I plan to write and publish!”
When you know it’s time to outline your book, the last thing you want is to wait around for a live course session to happen.
I first offered this course as a virtual weekend workshop, but I quickly realized this content needs to be available on-demand so you can get started whenever YOU are ready.
Rather than working through this together in a live retreat for $1000, or scheduling private coaching sessions with me for $800, I realized experts just like you need access to this information on demand.
For a fraction of the cost of these options, once you purchase Outline Your Book in a Weekend, you get full access to the course, along with the bonus trainings, so you can get started on your outline right away.
Here’s the thing…our world needs more voices just like yours. The message you’re here to share and the wisdom you have to offer is vital to the health and well-being of our culture.
Every day that goes by without working on your book delays your publication date. Which means your readers don’t get to read this book that they’re so ready for.
But I don’t want you to outline your book and then stop there. You also need to make a plan to do the writing and keep showing up for the page. Which is why there are two bonuses I want you to have:
BONUS VIDEO TRAINING: Schedule Your Writing Plan
You’ll never finish your book without a clear picture of what ‘done’ looks like.
In this bonus training, I’ll show you how to:
Pick a tangible, measurable writing goal (even if you have no idea where to start)
Calculate how many writing hours you need to finish your first draft
Create a writing plan that honors your unique energy, schedule, and creative cycle
Work with your outline to overcome writer’s block and make the most of your writing time
This training demystifies what it really takes to make time and space for your book, without asking you to rearrange your life or live on top of a mountain by yourself for three months.
BONUS MASTERCLASS: Book Design Secrets for Writers
In the end, your book is more than just words on the page. It’s a tangible experience your reader wants to have with your book, whether that’s a paperback, hardcover, or ebook.
In this masterclass, I reveal:
How to visualize your finished book by setting up your writing document correctly
An essential style guide to keep your chapters, subheadings, and lessons clear and organized
Why I recommend using Google docs to write your manuscript draft
How to organize your writing so it translates what you need to make your book reader friendly
Whenever I share this information with my writing groups and coaching clients, they are always amazed at what a difference it makes in their writing. The real reason this information is so valuable is that it helps you really FEEL the momentum you create while you’re writing your book.
ABOUT LEAH KENT
I'm Leah Kent, a writer, book coach, and book designer. I help wisdom keepers and visionaries write and publish transformational books about their work in the world.
Through coaching, group programs, and the Wild Embodied Writing membership, I support heart-centered creatives, experts, and entrepreneurs write and self-publish books that clarify their message, establish their thought-leadership, and expand their visibility.
My nonfiction books include Awakening the Visionary Voice, Intuitive Moon Rituals, and Sanctuary. Like most writers, I have several in-progress manuscripts making their way into the world!
I’ve walked through every step of the writing, editing, designing, and self-publishing journey myself, and helped my clients do the same. And I know that with the right support and guidance, writing a book can be much easier than you imagine.
Why would you want to outline your book right now instead of three weeks, three months, or three years from now?
Because carrying your book idea around takes up a tremendous amount of your energy! The book literally takes up space in your heart and your mind until you either write the book or fully and completely let the idea go. Seriously.
So consider this: if the idea of letting the book go feels amazing, then maybe it’s time to do that. But if hearing this makes you more determined than ever to stop ignoring your book and finally get it out of your head and into the world, then this course can help.
Investing just one or two days on deeply exploring your book vision, identifying your key ideas, and creating a solid outline will make the whole writing process easier. Which saves you time, stress, and frustration.
