Meet Your Book

There's a folder on your computer called "Book."

False starts. A working title. A paragraph you wrote at 11 p.m. after a good dinner. A list of angles you could take.

You haven't opened it in months. Not because you don't want to. Every time you do, you scroll, sigh, and close it again. What even is this?

You've built a business. You've led teams and made hard calls. You know how to do difficult things.

So why can't you start this one?

Because no one ever showed you where a book like yours begins.

You don't start a book by writing it. You start by meeting it.

Meet Your Book is a one-hour guided session, recorded live with a small group of writers, plus a workbook with every prompt. You press play, pick up a pen, and follow along.

In one hour, you'll:

• Meet your book. A guided visualization takes you to the edge of the ocean, where people are waiting for your book. You'll see the cover. You'll feel the weight of it in your hands.

• Hear what it wants to be. Four quick prompts help you find what your book is really about. Usually it's not what you thought.

• Write your first line. Not the first line. A first line. That's enough to begin.

• Make one small promise. Something you'll do in the next three days. Tiny counts.

Writers in the live session left with titles that didn't exist that morning, and covers in colors they'd never have picked. One saw her own face on the cover and didn't cringe.

What's inside

The guided audio (about an hour). The full class, with timers built in. No setup, no pausing to set a clock. Come back to the beach visualization anytime you need to see your book again.

The workbook (23 pages). Every prompt, with room to write, plus:

• A clickable chapter guide matched to the audio

• Your first 30 days: when, where, and how long to write in your real life

• What to do when you freeze

• A 30-day tracker that counts five minutes as a win

• What to do with a book you've already written and outgrown

Print it, or type right into the PDF.

This is for you if…

• You've been carrying a book idea for years and can't seem to start

• You're writing something personal: memoir, a business book built on your own stories, or both

• You've tried outlines and word-count goals, and they made the book go quiet

• You have a full life and need a way into your book that fits it

It's probably not for you if…

• You want a publishing plan or a step-by-step outline. This comes before that.

• You've already got a steady writing rhythm and a draft underway. You might like The Studio instead.

Hi, I'm Jacqueline.

I'm a writing mentor, four-time author, and founder of The Intuitive Writing School. I host the How Women Write podcast.

I had my own blue folder for years. Book ideas, half-started drafts, and no idea what any of them wanted to be. What changed wasn't discipline. It was starting from a different place.

Now I help business owners and first-time authors write books that sound like them. Meet Your Book is where we start.

Questions

Do I need to know what my book is about?

No. That's what this is for. You don't even have to pick between ideas.

What if I've already started writing?

Good. This helps you hear what the book wants to be, so the pages you have start pointing somewhere. There's also a section for books you've finished and outgrown.

Is it memoir or business books?

Either, or both. If your story is part of the lesson, this is for you.

How long do I have access?

It's yours to keep. Download the audio and workbook and come back anytime.

Can I print the workbook?

Yes. Print it, or type straight into the PDF.

I'm in The Studio. Do I need to buy this?

No. Meet Your Book is included in your membership. You'll find it in the member area.

You've carried this story long enough. Come meet it.
