Every summer, we promise ourselves the same thing: This is the summer I finally make real progress on my book. But then July hits. The kids are home, vacations get scheduled, or you sit down at the laptop and realize you aren’t entirely sure what your manuscript actually needs next. Do you need to write more words? Toss out the middle? Start a major revision?

If you are starting a book, stuck in a messy draft, or trying to figure out how to revise, we have a plan for you.

On July 10, we are kicking off the #AmWriting Blueprint Summer Challenge—a six-week deep dive designed to give you a proven framework, expert eyes, and a community of accountability buddies to help you build a stronger book.

What is the Blueprint Summer Challenge?

July 10 to August 20 — $19

Here is what you get when you join us:

• The All-New Blueprint Teachable Course. We are offering this new course at a special summer price to podcast listeners. For just $19, you get the full text of The Blueprint book in your choice of genre, 14 video lessons from Jennie and other Author Accelerator coaches, and coaching examples to help you lay a strong foundation for your book. The course is now open.

• It includes:

  1. The full text of The Blueprint book in your chosen genre.

  2. Fourteen video lessons covering every step of the framework, some from Jennie, some from coaches Jennie has trained. You’ll ger practical guidance, stories, and inspiration for each step!

  3. Real coaching examples that show writers applying the Blueprint to their own projects

  The course is designed to help you develop a stronger foundation for your book—whether you’re beginning from a blank page, working through a draft, or planning a revision.

• New Coach Matching System: Need more support when you’re done? Author Accelerator is debuting a brand-new, intuitive matching system to pair you up with the perfect coach for your specific genre and project style. (Free of charge to get matched). You can get that link in the course.
