Book Description

October 4, 2007

The Writing Coach’s Guide to FINALLY Writing Your Book! speaks to every would-be writer who has a great idea for a book, but no idea where to start or how to write it. This book provides a proven “coaching approach” to guiding you through an 8-step process, complete with assignments and tools to get you taking action immediately, because every action takes you closer to having your name on the cover of a book!

This powerful self-paced program provides you with:

  • Motivation: the right (and wrong) reasons to write your book
  • Vision: how to dream big for your book, but manage your expectations
  • Confidence: why YOUR book deserves to be written
  • Getting Past Obstacles: deal with what’s really stopping you
  • Support: knowing when (or whether) to hire help
  • A Roadmap: your writing plan and strategy
  • Coaching and Advice from other authors
  • Next Steps to publication

If you’re tired of just thinking about writing a book and are ready to FINALLY make it your reality, now is the time to start, and this is the book that will help you get there.

More About the Author

One minute, I was that most dreaded of all things for a woman -- "over 40 and still single" -- and living the most boring life imaginable in suburban New Jersey; the next, I was living "La Vie en Rose" in Paris, sipping coffee from dainty cups in cafés, and trying to learn how to tie a scarf like those chic Parisiennes. Oh, and did I mention that I'd also fallen in love with and married a Frenchman with three kids and a psychotic cat? And that despite the fact that I am a Rubenesque, non-smoking, smiling-too-much, unfashionably-dressed American living among anorexic, nicotine-addicted, pouting chic French women in pencil-thin jeans and impossibly high-heeled shoes, and I still can't speak the freaking language properly despite living here almost five years, I am now the most disgustingly happy that I've ever been in my entire life? How did THAT happen?

Born and raised in northwestern New Jersey (but without the annoying "Joisey" accent), I loved books from my earliest memories, and frequently experimented with creative writing as a young girl. Never imagining that I might be able to call myself a writer one day, I spent the first 20 years of my working life career-hopping, from being an executive secretary to computer programming, from cutting-edge web designer to life coach, before coming full circle and returning to my true passion: writing. Along with that, I decided to fulfill another life dream, moving to Paris in 2006. The following year, I stepped off a Paris city bus near the Luxembourg Gardens and locked eyes with a handsome Frenchman; we were married less than a year later. I now make my life in Paris, where you can frequently find me on the terrace of a cozy café on the Place de la Sorbonne, working on my latest book while enjoying a decadent chocolat chaud. If you see me, please feel free to say "Bonjour!"

You can read more about my Parisian adventures at my blog, The Bold Soul™ (www.TheBoldSoul.com) and learn more about me at my web site (www.LisaTaylorHuff.com).

5.0 out of 5 stars Lisa's approach is great!, October 28, 2007
This review is from: The Writing Coach's Guide to FINALLY Writing Your Book!: How to Stop Making Excuses and Write That Book (even if you aren't a "real" writer) (Paperback)
Lisa Taylor Huff is a master at coaching people to move forward towards their goals...and this book is no exception. I read her book in one sitting, and one month later I had completed a book I had been wanting to write for a looooong time! Her gentle, yet motivating approach and words of wisdom gave me the extra kick I needed to get moving. Reading this book is like sitting down and chatting with a good friend who truly wants to see you succeed.

This review is from: The Writing Coach's Guide to FINALLY Writing Your Book!: How to Stop Making Excuses and Write That Book (even if you aren't a "real" writer) (Paperback)
As I was writing my book, I was feeling somewhat overwhelm. This book helped me organize my ideas, make a plan and execute it! I am very glad I did, as now I have the pleasure to call myself: Author, Author!
