Wise Effort Book Idea Lab

 Do you wanna find out if your idea has the power to become a book? Join me, Diana Hill, and Jennie Nash, book coach extraordinaire, for the Wise Effort book Idea Lab. If you have a nonfiction book idea or maybe just the start of one, but you're not sure how it all fits together, what's the message? Who's it for? How would it support your career, your mission, your creative vision, and why is it so hard to just sit down and write it? We will help you clarify your idea, identify your inner obstacles, explore your target audience, and begin mapping a structure that you can build on. This is a live working session online.
