Description:
Designed as the official companion to Dr. Dorsey's From Pitch to Print, this planner is built to be used alongside it: the book teaches the process, and the planner is where authors put that process into action, page by page, from their very first idea through their launch-day reader list. For the aspiring business author, leadership voice, or first-time memoirist who has the expertise but not the roadmap, this is the workspace that turns "I should write a book someday" into a finished manuscript. Organized into six parts that mirror the real author journey--Your Publishing Goals, Build Your Book Blueprint, The Writing System, Revision & Feedback, Publishing Pathway, and Launch Vision--this guided journal pairs practical worksheets (reader profiles, comp title analysis, chapter planning pages, a 40-spread writing session tracker, a self-editing checklist, a publishing budget planner) with short "From the Publisher's Desk" essays from Dr. Jennifer Dorsey, Publisher of Broad Book Press.
