The Successful Book Project: A Play in Three Acts ![]()
Act One – Imagination to Manuscript
Act Two – Editing, Designing, Delivery
Act Three – Releasing to the World
Acting roles to be filled: the Publisher, the Editor, the Author
Most professional speakers understand the value of a well-written, well-edited, well-designed book as a support to their overall business. However, bringing out a meaningful, marketable, readable book is not as easy as some would make it seem.
To ensure you deliver on a standing ovation, it is essential to understand not only the roles involved in the play but the relationships between each character. Unlike a play upon a stage, there is blurring between the ending of one act and the beginning of the next, but all three acts of the play must be included in a successful book project.
Whether you play the role of author, publisher, or editor (or all three), each role demands a specific mindset and completion of deliverables.
In this keynote, learn the essentials of creating a meaningful, marketable, readable book that will support your speaking and your overall business model.
