“I simply don’t have the money to invest in writing a book!"
You DON’T need to spend thousands to get to a finished first draft! You can get started with this simple and easy-to-follow toolkit and spend only a few hundred dollars to be ready for the next stage of editing and publication!

“I Need a Lot of Time to Write My First Draft"
You DON’T need hundreds of hours to write your first draft! In fact, you can write an average-sized novel of around 60,000 words in only 25 hours!

“It’s SO overwhelming!
I don’t know where to begin!”
As a Book Coach, I know just how overwhelming and confusing writing a book can be. This is why I show my students that with the right strategy, writing a book can be joyful and easy. It CAN be simple and fun! And today, thanks to tools like mobile devices it can be easier than ever before - you can even speak your book into existence!

Â
“I don’t know how to write!”
Getting the first draft done IS the bottleneck that will slow any aspiring author down. This is why we show our students simple hacks that shortcut the creation process to save you hours of time WITHOUT sacrificing the quality of your work!

“I am worried what my family/friends/colleagues will think! I don't want anyone to know my story!”
If you're worried what others will think, there are ways to write your story without anyone even knowing it's written by you OR offending anyone. HOWEVER, I encourage all my students to be authentic to what's in their heart, and with simple techniques, I can show you how to do it without letting other people’s opinions hold you back.
"With no real book idea, I doubted myself BUT as I explored the Book Doula website, it was impossible to deny how right it all felt. I was off to pen my own masterpiece.Â
Since then I've not once struggled in book writing or in life. I dove in head first and fully immersed myself in the process.
Writing my own book has been the most important part of my self-discovery journey to date. Sure the journey hasn't been easy, and parts of it have kept me awake at night… but Vanessa is a game changer.
She not only crushed my self-doubt, with her genius prompts and techniques, but she also silences your inner critic, she guides you with gentle firmness.Â
I am SO glad I did this."
