The Busy Woman’s Guide to Writing a Book

Finally, a way to get your book out of your head and onto the page

A book is a passion shared. It says, ‘Here’s my stake in the world. Here’s what I believe. Here’s what I want to give to the world.’

Writing a book is a bold undertaking, and during the process, no one escapes fear and self-doubt about their work. No matter how smart and accomplished you are, you’ll be asking yourself, ‘Can I do this? Will it be good enough?’ Believe it or not, your book can make a difference—even change the world—but only if you write it. The Busy Woman’s Guide to Writing a World-Changing Book will help you navigate the emotional labor of committing your ideas to paper.

Other books may try to tell you how to “do” your book: you must complete A, B and C in a specific way, on a certain schedule. But rigid approaches don’t work for busy women immersed in running businesses, building art careers, caring for families and loved ones…or all of the above. Structure and flexibility are required.

This book is different. It will show you how to set up a writing practice so you can write your book on your schedule, no matter how busy you are. You will learn how to:

  • Gather your focus so you can drop into your writing easily
  • Pull your ideas into an outline that will help you write
  • Stay on track, even when the process becomes overwhelming
  • Get back in the groove when life interrupts your flow
  • Overcome the obstacles waiting just before the finish line
  • Enjoy the process, in your way, in your time.

Practical, encouraging and rich in decades of experience working with writers, The Busy Woman’s Guide to Writing a World-Changing Book is like having your own writer’s coach on call. You’ll love this collection of inspiration and actionable steps for finally getting your ideas out of your head and into your book.

More than ever, women’s voices need to be heard. Writing your book will change the world, starting with yours.

Rave reviews

"Novelist and creative writing coach Cynthia Morris  provides a feast of bite-size information, exercises, and encouragement in this guide for aspiring authors. Each of its five parts consists of short, well-organized sections filled with exercises and strategies for dealing with obstacles to writing, such as facing up to the pesky voice of one’s inner critic....

Despite the title, the information Morris passes on about the writing process and publishing world, not to mention her useful checklists, are widely applicable, not just for the “busy woman.” Her insightful book should spark reflection and promote creativity in practically any writer." Publisher's Weekly starred review, September 2019

"The author’s writing style is straightforward and clean, as is the format: short, well-organized chapters, a flow that makes sense, and a tone that’s both authoritative and reassuring. Morris does an excellent job of breaking down a seemingly insurmountable project into bite-size, step-by-step pieces." BlueInk Review, starred review, May 2019

I would have never imagined that this powerhouse of a creative would help me grow, connect to my heart and improve my companies in so many areas. Cynthia’s coaching is like supercharging a normal engine; there is no comparison."

John Marsh

"For years, I struggled with this belief that I wasn't good enough, that I wasn't a real writer, that I wouldn't be able to follow through. Your coaching and support opened something in me that had gone dormant.

With your words in my ears and my heart finding new excitement, I pushed the words across the page. My first novel is complete. You, dear Cynthia, helped me lay the dominoes. I can’t thank you enough for the motivation, the inspiration, and the reminder that I was meant to write."

Tabetha Hedrick

"Because of my work with Cynthia, I have been able to embrace my artist's path and choose a lifestyle that truly speaks to my soul. Instead of trying to be and do everything, I now follow my true desires with courage, joy and serenity.

Cynthia is intuitive, down-to-earth, straightforward and honest. She can read between the lines, and she never lets me run away, give in and give up. Cynthia is a fabulous mentor and an amazing artist."
