    Your book is the greatest lead magnet you will ever create.

    Write the book that sells you. A guided programme that turns your expertise into a book-shaped business asset: one that captures leads, earns speaking and media, and gives your marketing a year of material.

    One supported programme, one way in. Self-paced modules do the groundwork, live workshops handle the harder decisions with the Brandspire team alongside you.

    Fit first

    Who this is for,
    and who it is not for.

    This is for you if

    • You are a founder, consultant, executive or expert with real experience worth putting into a book
    • You want the book to bring in leads, speaking invitations, press and credibility
    • You already have frameworks, talks or client stories we can build the book around
    • You value structure, deadlines and honest challenge

    This is not for you if

    • You want someone to write the book for you
    • You are chasing royalties or vanity publishing
    • You cannot commit a few hours a week between sessions
    • You are still deciding whether a book is the right next move

    The shift

    Where most people start, and where they finish.

    Most people arrive with a subject, a folder of half-written notes and a nagging sense that a book would help. They leave with a polished manuscript, ready for a publisher or to self-publish, and the system around it that keeps working for the business.

    Where you are now

    • A subject you know deeply, with no single idea you are known for

    • The feeling that a book is too much work and too little return

    • Publishing routes, ISBNs and print options you have never had time to untangle

    • Marketing built from scattered tactics rather than one clear story

    • No way of knowing who read you, let alone how to reach them again

    Where you finish

    • A book positioned around the one outcome it has to deliver

    • A finished, submission-ready manuscript — prepared for a publisher or to self-publish

    • A companion workbook and email sequence capturing readers as named leads

    • A launch calendar, swipe copy and a launch team ready to move

    • Six months of content, PR and speaking material built from the book

    The result

    A manuscript ready for a publisher or for you to self-publish, working as a lead-generating business asset.

    A mapped and drafted manuscript with a clear editing plan

    A publishing route decided with you — traditional, hybrid or self-publishing — and the manuscript prepared to that route's standard

    A story-driven contents page with evergreen calls to action built in

    A companion workbook and seven-day email sequence that capture readers

    A funnel map, video prompts and pre-order sequence

    A twelve-week launch calendar and a six-month plan for the return

    Books made real

    Strategy you can see,
    in books already out in the world.

    We have supported more than 150 books and authors, from first direction through publication, launch and the authority work that follows.

    The process

    What the curriculum covers

    Module one

    Decide your north star

    Choose the single outcome the book has to deliver, whether that is leads, speaking, press, credibility or chart position. Self-paced reflection first, then a live workshop to test it honestly.

    Module two

    Publisher or self-publishing — which is better?

    Compare traditional, hybrid and self-publishing properly: credibility, control, timescales and margins. We help you decide the route, then prepare your manuscript, proposal or platform to whichever standard it demands.

    Module three

    Plan, write and edit without going mad

    Map the book one chapter card at a time, draft in sprints and choose the right level of editing. Developmental, line and proofreading explained so you buy only what you need.

    Module four

    Positioning and table of contents

    Your contents page is the shop window. We turn it into a story-driven sales tool where every chapter carries a clear promise.

    Module five

    Reader journey and in-book calls to action

    Design the path from discovering you to working with you, with QR codes and next steps placed where readers actually pause.

    Module six

    Build the companion workbook

    Move the heavy exercises into a workbook readers will finish. A seven-day cadence and a front-loaded signup turn anonymous buyers into known leads.

    Module seven

    Social and short-form video

    The twelve types of author video that work, how to film them on your phone and how to caption them quickly. Scripts and prompts included.

    Module eight

    Email, funnels and GDPR

    Build the list you own, write the pre-order sequence and reconnect with inherited contacts properly. Templates and swipe files provided.

    Module nine

    Contributors, launch team and PR

    Turn the experts you cite and the people you know into a launch team, then pitch podcasts, niche media and micro-influencers with copy already written.

    Module ten

    Events, bulk sales and chart mechanics

    Make bulk orders count towards the charts, pitch universities, charities and events, and run an event day that sells books.

    Module eleven

    Launch runway and calendar

    Prep, prime, push and sustain across a twelve-week calendar, with weekly agendas so the last three weeks stay calm.

    Module twelve

    Post-launch and long-term return

    Embed the book into sales, onboarding, speaking and press, with a six-month repurposing plan that keeps it earning.
