Transformational Books
Pause, reflect and uncover who you are.
Our Transformational Book Experience™ provides the opportunity for deep reflection on your life and uncovering who you are through writing a book.
Take the time to pause, review your journey so far, and ensure the rest of your life is full of meaning and purpose.
Our process provokes an inward journey and delivers a legacy. We guide you through the experience and write the book for you.
Your book will communicate valuable insights and lessons to the reader and give you a new perspective on your life.
We offer a limited number of Transformational Book Experiences™ each year.
"Waking up to who you are requires letting go of who you imagine yourself to be." – Alan Watts
The Transformational Book Experience™
In nine months, your book will be complete without you ever putting pen to paper.
The TBE™ Journey
Story Exploration
We start by exploring, through a series of interviews, an overview of your life at 30,000 feet. In the process, we create your book outline.
We then start to zoom in on the stories that have emerged in greater detail.
From there, we look more closely at the insights coming from these experiences. We learn how they have informed critical decisions and your actions over time.
We then turn this information into actionable insights, providing value to you and your reader.
Story Structuring
One of our Story Architects works with the content created in the Story Exploration phase and begins to complete the first draft of your manuscript.
During this phase, we analyze the content for story arc and character development to ensure great storytelling.
Where needed, we schedule time with you to flesh out more details.
Story Magic
In this stage, you work with a Storyteller to complete the manuscript of your book.
In our experience, everyone has a story, but not everyone is a great storyteller. We make sure yours is a compelling read.
We ensure pace, flow, and voice bring all elements of your story to life.
We prepare the manuscript for editing.
Story Coaching
During the unique TBE™ process, you get to know yourself in a new way, clearly understanding your goals. You have taken us on the ride, and we help you to tell your story.
For three months, we make sure your story will be heard by the right people.
Together we look at how, going forward, your actions can align with your passions.
The Product Journey
Editing
By the end of this phase, we will have the finished manuscript text.
We go through the three stages of editing; developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading the first version of the manuscript.
Design
This phase takes your manuscript and turns it into beautifully designed, print-ready files.
We work on text formatting, typography, imagery layout, and jacket design and provide a finished file ready for the second proofreading.
Printing
Working with one of our print specialists, you will select your paper and print materials.
Your print-ready files are sent to the press to turn into hard copies.
You and the team receive sample copies for a third proofread.
With everything approved, we are ready for distribution, and a box of books will be arriving at your door.
Distribution
We take care of setting up your title with over 32,000 online stores, book shops, libraries, and schools.
Our marketing team works with our distributors to facilitate the ideal strategy for where and how your book is sold.
Your book is now on sale for the world to buy.
Notes:
For books with illustrations and designs, we commence those in the Story Exploration phase.
We work with you to collect back cover quotes and advance praise.
