The Guide to Develop Your Best Seller
Peter and Colleen created this guide for professionals/experts looking to create a positive influence in the world and for those looking to impact their community for the better. We wrote this guide for you to discover, in as little as 15 minutes, who your ideal audience is, how to share your mission with the masses, how to craft an influential message, and why all of this is important. Discovering this information is significant in order for you to create a clear understanding of:
- Your topic/area of expertise.
- Your stories, challenges, and successes.
- Your most impressive area of influence.
- Your ideal audience.
Most of all, we created this guide for professionals/experts looking to make the greatest change in their community. As a professional/expert, you already have a platform to share your ideas, you have a business, a social media following, a charitable foundation, and more. One of the best ways to expand your platform is to publish your book. A book allows you to share your expertise to both those inside your community and those who do not know you (yet). A book allows you to reach hundreds or thousands of people interested in what you have to say.
I went into my VIP Deep Dive Day looking for clarity on the publishing process and what it entails. During my time with Peter and Colleen, I received detailed answers to my questions and concerns regarding publishing a book. I walked away with a clear understanding of what’s involved with writing, publishing, and marketing a book. After our session, Peter and Colleen provided a comprehensive book publishing plan complete with dates and tasks needed for my manuscript to be professionally published. Also included were two follow-up calls which allowed me to review the plan and ask questions, which Peter and Colleen thoroughly answered in order for me to realize my goal of professionally publishing my book. If you’re ready to navigate the publishing process and have no idea who to trust or where to start, I highly recommend Peter and Colleen to help you navigate your path to publishing.”

Writing Planner
Consistent planning leads to increased productivity. Planning time to write, what you’re going to write, and holding yourself accountable (or look for an accountability partner, even better), increases the probability you’ll reach your goal of published author!
Our writing planner is set up for your successful writing. You’ll receive a sample planner, a weekly planner and a sheet for weekly goals. Fill in your time to write, time to read, time for research, and more. Then, rinse and repeat each week!
Write Your Memoir With Confidence
You’ve decided to share your story, great. When developing your memoir, there are four important strategies to incorporate so you can write with confidence.
After working with Peter and Colleen during my VIP Day, I decided to work with them through the comprehensive editing and publishing process for my book. They also worked with me on the initial marketing of my book (it is never too early to start).
I was not interested in doing all the “background work” and trusted Peter and Colleen to do what was needed for my book to be professionally published. When my original publishing date was delayed, they reworked the plan, advised me when tasks were needed to make my deadline, answered questions, put my mind at ease, and they made sure the tasks were completed for my launch date.”

Author’s Pathway
Deciding to self- or traditionally publish your book is a process. Either way, there are several tasks to complete for a professionally published book; it takes planning, commitment, and working with professionals.
Colleen was the best author’s assistant I could ever have had. She and her son Peter helped me get my first book published and a gave me a great start on marketing it. They were professional, friendly, honest and organized. They gave me advice, shared feedback from friends who had read my book, and let me make decisions. I feel confident they helped get all the important matters for my book set up properly, including a Library of Congress Control Number. I would recommend Your Literary Prose to anyone wanting to publish a book.”
