That’s the goal—but finished does not mean polished.

The Courageous Book Sprint is designed to help you complete your manuscript draft. It doesn’t need to be perfectly edited, beautifully formatted, or ready for publication at the end of 12 weeks.

You simply need to get the words out of your head and onto the page.

You can’t edit a blank page—but you can do wonderful things with a completed draft.

Wonderful! You do not have to start from scratch.

Bring the manuscript you’ve already begun, whether you have three chapters, thirty pages, or notes scattered across several documents.

We’ll use these 12 weeks to help you move forward from wherever you are now toward one important destination: The End.

That’s why I’m there.

Each weekly session includes dedicated Q&A and coaching time, so you can bring questions about your book, structure, direction, or whatever has you staring at the blinking cursor wondering, “Now what?”

Then we write.

You’ll have guidance when you need it—and protected writing time to put that guidance into action.

You’re probably exactly who I created this Sprint for.

You don’t have to suddenly clear your calendar and become a full-time writer. The weekly sessions give you something many aspiring authors are missing: protected, concentrated writing time.

In a timed writing experiment I conducted in 2022, five writers produced approximately 800 words during a single 20-minute writing period.

Focused writing time can add up quickly. The purpose of the Sprint is to help you stop waiting until you find the time and begin intentionally making time for your book.

I want to celebrate the writers who show up, do the work, and cross that finish line.

When you meet the requirements of the Courageous Finisher’s Promise and complete your manuscript during the 12-Week Courageous Book Sprint, you’ll receive a $500 publishing credit toward an eligible publishing package with Courageous Women Publications.

Think of it as my way of saying:

You finished your book. Now, let’s talk about getting it into the hands of the people who have been waiting for it.
