Five emails on actually finishing your book
Written by our editorial team from work with real authors. No pitch, no invented statistics, no promises about sales — just the parts of the work that most often go wrong, and what to do instead.
What arrives, and when
Email 1 · day 0
Where your book actually begins
The first decision most authors skip — and what it costs later.
Email 2 · day 3
An outline you can actually write from
Chapter titles are not an outline.
- One sentence: the point of this chapter.
- One story from your own experience that makes the point real.
- The objection a fair-minded reader would raise here.

Finding the hours (the honest version)
Most authors do not need more discipline. They need a smaller unit of work.

What editing really involves
Three different jobs that people call "editing".
- Developmental editing looks at structure: is the argument in the right order, is anything missing, does the book deliver what it promised?
- Line editing works sentence by sentence on clarity, rhythm and voice.
- Proofreading is the last pass for typos, spacing and consistency — and it is not where structural problems get fixed.

What signing up does and does not mean
What it does
- Five emails over three weeks, then only occasional notes.
- Every email has a one-click unsubscribe that we act on immediately.
- The series is sent through a separate marketing service, kept apart from invoices and receipts.
What it does not
- It is not an enquiry — nobody will call or chase you because you signed up.
- We never sell, rent or share your address.
- Unsubscribing never affects an order, invoice, agreement or appointment.
