First 5: Step #5 Organize Before You Outline

In this episode, you’ll also hear: Questions to ask to help you organize your notes from Step #4 into a book outline Why your book may fail to connect with your ideal readers even if you have correctly identified the problem they are looking to solve – and what to do to avoid falling into this common trap How to get readers to open their minds and hearts to what you have to say Different types of stances you can take as an author – and how to choose the right one for your audience BIO: My name is Tamara Jackson but my clients affectionately call me "Coach Tam." I am an author, speaker, transformation coach, and 11-year, 100 lb. weight loss success story. I am also the CEO of a mission-oriented gym and wellness center in the Charlotte, NC area called 265 Point Total Fitness. Interestingly enough, much of the success that God has allowed me to enjoy is founded upon a book that I wrote in 2013, 265 Point. In the book, I share how I transformed from being a 265 lb. junk food addict to a 155 lb. fitness fanatic appearing on the demonstration floor of the Dr. Oz Television show. It's part biography, part self-help. I wanted to do my part to end the trend of obesity in America and help others lose weight and keep it off. I would love to say that I answered the call to write immediately. I didn't. It took me YEARS to put pen to paper and publish my book. Now, as an aspiring author coach my mission is to ensure that others don't repeat my mistake. This podcast, Publishing Secrets, is designed to further that mission. I pray that it blesses you!
