Ignite Your Light, Your Mission, Your Message by Aligning with the Divine and Discovering, Creating and Delivering Your Inspired Ideas

Spirit-Led Authoring: Create an Inspired Book

Are you feeling led to write a book? It may be a family history story, a personal memoir, a fiction novel, a non-fiction or self-help book. If you’re feeling called to write a book, then this course is for you. Whether you’re writing for yourself and your family or for the world, Spirit-Led Authoring has what you need. If you want to create a movement around your book and tie into a business or a cause, this course has what you need. 

No matter who you’re writing for, in the end, someone is going to read your book. Whether you want to reach a tight-group of readers like your family or if you want to reach thousands with your book and create a movement around it, you want to keep your readers turning pages. You want to deliver your message in a way that makes people say, “WOW! I loved it. I couldn’t put it down.”

Inject the WOW-Factor into Your Book

The Spirit-Led Authoring course helps you inject that “WOW-factor” into your book so that your message makes its way into the hearts of your readers and leaves the impact you desire.

As an author of more than 30 fiction and non-fiction titles, I’ve developed my own Collaborative Creation and Story Method that enables me to write books that pack-a-punch in a very short period of time. In fact, I wrote, “Light the World: How Your Brilliance Can Shift the Planet” in about 2.5 weeks! It went from idea to print within 30 days. Granted, this book brought together my life’s work in a cohesive manifesto, but the real WOW came through collaboration.

Collaboration can take many forms. It could look like…

  • Interviewing family members, comrades and friends to craft a novel about your relative in the military
  • Getting other people to contribute stories, experiences or testimonials that drive home the principles you’re sharing
  • Creating an anthology with a dozen different contributors who submit chapters to your book.
  • Co-authoring a novel with your spouse, friend or partner
  • Having a group of friends and/or family who believe in your project support you with proof reading, cover design feedback, input on back cover copy, coordinating or assisting with book signings and events, hosting cottage meetings about your book, sharing your book with friends, and spreading the word on social media, and more.

Contrary to popular opinion, writing a book doesn’t have to take years! My book, “Finding Peace in a Turbulent World: Living in Sacred Nature” (not a collaborative book) started out as a 45-minute presentation at an event. I wrote the book based on my presentation and published it as a 252-page paperback / hardback book along with the Kindle and Audible versions with an accompanying journal, card deck, and online course in 3 months’ time! (And, yes, it pays to be married to an editor!)

Whether you would like to create your book solely on your own or use collaborative techniques, if you follow my system, you can get your book published faster than you ever thought possible!

What People Are Saying…

“I can endorse this program 100%. I had been “working” on my next book off and on for quite some time. From Session 1, I got very focused and two days ago the first draft of my 70,000-word manuscript was sent to my editor. Marnie’s information works.” – Kathleen Gage

“The program was amazing! It got me moving forward on my book and committed to actually getting the work done. With the technical knowledge and the energy shifting skills from Marnie, you’re sure to move forward in a positive direction, too, if you feel the timing is right for you to produce a book that you have locked up in your mind. Thanks, Marnie, for this great book program!” – Jennifer Jones Smith

“Marnie is a Book Goddess from the creative idea, managing your energy, shifting your energy, to all the practical how to’s! I see another book coming for YOU, Marnie!” – Laura West

“I highly recommend Marnie and her book program. My “Talk to G-d 30 Day Soul Kit” book is finally almost done. I’ve been in a lot of programs where the coach barely shows up in the group, but Marnie whizzes around answering our questions and requests for help with rapid suggestions, detailed video responses, and really helpful resources.” – Rae Shagalov
