Welcome back to Mark My Words, a free weeklyish newsletter all about creating a book for your brand or business. Since you're in business, I'll assume you've been told to articulate your WHY. Right now, I’m in the midst of Simon Sinek’s Start With Why. The point of the whole book is to make the case for articulating your WHY. “What’s your Why” starts to feel a little bit cliché, but the reason we’re told to share our Why is because it truly is vital to our business—and our brand books! I...

“Jessica, I’d love to use you as my editor… someday when I’ve written a book.” I would LOVE to be your editor, but we need to get one thing in place first, and it’s not even a complete first draft: it’s your INTENTION. Y’all don’t need an editor… what you need is a book coach. In fact, I hear these statements on a weekly basis: · I want to write a book, but I don’t know what it should be about. · I want to write a book, but I just can’t seem to find the time. · I want to write a book, but...

Bonjour from France! How is writing coming along? Whether you’re writing a book for the first time or you’re a seasoned author, nobody gets to skip the editing stage. My last email was about the importance of setting yourself up for success in the very beginning stages of writing your book. To illustrate my point, think of writing like having friends over for dinner. This happened to me the other day, in fact. For our friend Christophe, I wanted to make a beef bourgignon. I’ve made it before,...

Hey there, new author. Have you written your book in a vacuum? If you have (no shame—been there, got the tshirt), you might be making an editing faux pas. What most business-owners-turned-authors try to do is this: They get an absolutely wonderful idea for a book that will generate leads and expand their reach. They get stars in their eyes, and they get to work all excited. They might even finish writing the entire thing. But they are writing in a vacuum—creating in their proverbial...

Bonjour, friends! I just had a stalk in my analytics the other day, and I noticed that my most popular blog post to date is about the different types of editing. (Did you know there are 4 types?) If you have a complete first draft, you know you need “editing.” But not knowing exactly what type of editing might be holding you back. And don’t worry—you’re not alone if you don’t know. Some folks in my industry—writers and even newbie editors!—don’t know the different stages of editing. Since...

If you’ve read James Clear, you’re familiar with the concept of atomic habits. I’ve you’ve been living under a rock, I’ll leave you with another wise man’s words: A tree as big as a man’s embrace springs from a tiny sprout. A tower nine stories high begins with a heap of earth. A journey of a thousand leagues starts from where your feet stand. — Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching Today I wanted to remind you of how powerful your first steps are, even if they are tiny ones. If there’s anything I’ve...
