Writers: Save Yourself A Lot of Rewrites
Lisa MacDonald Founder of Step It Up Enterprises

One of the biggest problems of getting your book on the market is too much time is being spent on endlessly rewriting.

Thought leaders want to have their IP shine in the book they are writing. But how do you do that? The
answer: Have a well-constructed chapter that gets into the readers’ minds, shines a light on your
wisdom, and inspires your reader to take action on your wisdom.

Takeaways:

• Learning what successful introduction and conclusion chapters are supposed to do and how they are that is different from the other chapters.

• Knowing how to structure a chapter to make it fun, easy to follow, and stop the ramble.

•Uncover the best structure for your style and niche and keep it going throughout the book.

We will explore the danger of thinking you can just sit down and write your chapters without figuring
out the best framework for your concept and niche. Knowing how a chapter works and how to structure
it in the best way that saves you many rewrites and makes you appear as an insightful thought leader.
