Designing a Business Plan for Your Writing


I considered titling this post “The Writer You’ve Always Wanted To Be- Is This The Year?” It’s a new year. A year filled with the promise of fulfilling your dreams.

If you read last week’s post, you know this is the week I released Designing a Business Plan for Your Writing. This is the first book in a three part series aimed at helping people become published authors. I’m giving away a few free ebook copies for those of you leaving a comment today.

Until then, here is a sneak peek of the book:

Chapter One offers an introduction and answers the question why every writer needs a business plan. I also share my story and how the plan continues to help me in my writing endeavors.

Chapter Two helps you get started through a little self-examination. What do you want from your writing?

Chapter Three guides you in thinking through your strengths and weaknesses in writing and publishing.

Chapter Four takes you through the process of establishing your goals and objectives as a writer.

Chapter Five gives you tools to identify your mission and vision  for writing.

Chapter Six gives you strategies for budgeting your time and money for this endeavor.

Chapter Seven leads you to developing a professional development component for your business plan.

Chapter Eight offers strategies for engaging with others in the writing community.

Chapter Nine is where you put it all together in a way that is meaningful to you.

I’ve also included a list of resources for you to access.

Is offering you this outline sexy or meaty? Maybe not. But what sets this handbook apart from other texts on business plans for writers is the set of exercises accompanying each chapter to help you understand the elements of each section. With this handbook, you will walk through each element to make this plan unique to your needs. It is not formulaic, telling you to “write your mission statement” without explanation of where that comes from or how to get there. I also give examples of components from my own experiences. And…for me this is a big one…I don’t use unfamiliar business jargon.

This handbook is written for writers. Writers who want to become published authors. Writers who want to see their publishing dreams fulfilled. This handbook is for you.

So you want to be a published author? You want a free copy of the book? Answer this question: What would you love to publish this year? Try to be specific. Do you want to write a cookbook for college kids? A romance novel? Flash fiction? Maybe you want to capture a few freelance gigs in your industry. Answer the question in the comments.

  1. Well, that's a sneaky way to get us to obtain your new book! :) As you most certainly know, I am now eager to draft and, yes, perhaps publish, a suspense (really?) novel related to the industry in which I was employed for 20+ years. As my main motivator, be ready Becky, for endless questions and advise gathering in the coming months!

  3. “I could not have closed on my first home without Mr, Benjamin Lee ! Benjamin and his team went above and beyond for me on this transaction. He handled my very tight turn around time with ease and was always available for me when I had questions (and I had plenty), even when he was away from the office, which I greatly appreciated! He and his team handled many last-minute scrambles with the seller and worked tirelessly to make sure that I could close before my lease (and my down payment assistance, for that matter) expired. Mr Benjamin is incredibly knowledgeable Loan Officer, courteous, and patient. I went through a couple offers on properties before my final purchase and Benjamin was there to help with each one, often coordinating with my agent behind the scenes. I felt supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to Benjamin and the tireless efforts of his team, I am now a proud home owner! I would encourage you to consider Benjamin Briel Lee for any kind of loan.Mr, Benjamin Lee Contact informaions.via WhatsApp +1-989-394-3740  Email- 247officedept@gmail.com.
