Discovery Day
What: Discovery Day
When: At the beginning of the journey to publication
Who: Nonfiction writers who will seek a traditional publisher or those who plan to self-publish
Why: To equip the writer to craft a book that serves the reader
Margot travels to an author—or meets virtually—and, for four to six hours, over one or two days, works with the author to identify the book's target reader, understand his or her need, and identify the author's fresh solution to meet that need.
Together we brainstorm content, outline the book, and create a chapter map to guide the writer when they sit down to write.
​
Chapter-by-chapter, page-by-page, you have a MAP as you write your book!
*The writer who will benefit from this service is the writer who is self-publishing, or it’s the writer working with a publishing house who wants to invest his or her own dollars to offer the publisher the strongest manuscript possible.
"I was literally terrified before we met. I’d gone to bed convinced I couldn’t deliver what I’d committed to and woke up with my heart pounding. But when we got together, you helped me to lay out all the content and break it down in a way that made sense. I was inspired to start writing after that with a concrete plan - now I feel so much better. I didn’t know you could help me as much as you did!”​
