How this course was created

Hi, I'm Dale, your guide and course facilitator. I wrote my first book in 2012 and, since then, have gone on to publish many more. I have also coached a lot of people with a great message through the same process. Everything in the course is a result of my experience with my clients.

The key thing to know is that all good books start with a plan. If you want to write a book - plan it first!

This course takes you from having no idea to the right idea, to creating an outline and a chapter framework, and on to writing your first draft and self-publishing your book.

What others are saying about this course.

Excellent content, great resources 

I liked the way that this course moved through a logical structure and provided great resources along the way. I was introduced to many ideas that I would never have previously considered, and I am sure that I will return to the course and the materials provided on many future occasions. 

Having a book is one of THE best statements you can possibly make about your expertise and your knowledge. 

You open the door to speaking opportunities. Potential clients will seek out your expertise. You can run coaching, training and workshops based on the principles in your book, and your personal story can be shared to help others.

  • Know How To Properly Plan Your Book: You will go from no idea to THE best idea for your book right now. You will have a plan, outline, chapter framework, and your first chapter written. You also get a section on how to use ChatGPT to plan your book. This will pull all of the planning pieces together. You will be ready to write your book and publish your book. 

  • Editing and Polishing: Learn the art of self-editing and refine your manuscript to professional standards. We will axplore various editing techniques, grammar and style guidelines, and best practices to enhance the quality of your writing. Discover how to polish your book to make it shine.

  • Publishing Strategies: Learn about cover design, formatting, how to get your book ready for publication and how to publish on Amazon's self-publishing platform - KDP.

This course was a disappointment, although it might appeal to someone with absolutely no writing experience. I found the content simplistic, repetitive and often irrelevant to the stated topic. (If I'd wanted information on learning styles, I would not have sought out a course on writing!) I also found that the delivery dragged. (A 7-minute intro featuring the presenter's dogs! Really? And a handout on how to organize a binder? And who the heck is Jacqui Malpass and what is her connection to Dale Darley?) Some of the course handouts were useful, but the same handout was often repeated from segment to segment. And it would have been helpful if the handout and file names corresponded to the lectures they were meant to accompany. If I had paid full price for this course, I would be requesting a refund.

The author is experienced and has a wealth of knowledge to share. The audio could have been louder or a transcript could have been provided.

The course is exceedingly basic and very repetitive. It is not for someone with writing experience or any academic training.

I love the way the course is laid out. I have purchased the materials to start. I will listen completely through the course and then go back and do it again while doing homework. Well thought out!

This course is full of useful information, and a concrete plan to get you off your "dream-chair" and into goal-setting and ACTION. Structure is key, and this course spells it all out. Only tiny thing I would change is to not refer to resources that haven't yet been introduced and are coming in future lessons. Or at least say (don't worrry, you'll have this by lesson 16 etc.) Course is fantastic!

If you want to write a book but aren't sure how to make it happen, then this course will help you. Starting with proper planning, this course shows what to expect when writing your book, including tips on how long it will take to pull everything together. I've put much of what I learned into practice in writing my own book. Thanks Jacqui!

I will publish my book before Chriistmas and this course was key in me getting it out there and planning a series.

I've taken away so many pointers from this course. It's very comprehensive and has helped me to break down the task of (at long last) writing my book. I already have quite a lot of content, but ran out of steam before completing it. I love the tips on how you can come up with more material (I'm not giving anything away here though). Thanks for such a comprehensive course.

I would have loved to write a positive review about this course but unfortunately I found its content very superficial. There isn't much in it that I have not intuitively learnt in the months I've spent trying to structure the book I'm currently working on. Being a course about planning and at £154, you'd expect to find some fairly detailed techniques about structure and planning. Instead, it just offers a few simple 'tips' which you can find all over the internet anyway. The only chapter about actual book planning, "creating a detailed outline", is 2:03 minutes. That's all you get about outlining. I dare say that an eHow article probably goes more in depth. I guess what she means by 'planning' is getting an idea, writing it, and getting it published. In that case, the choice of title is perhaps a bit more accurate, but the content is so basic and "jack-of-all-trades" that I very much doubt anyone will successfully get published by taking just this course. There are courses out there three times better for a third of the price.

Jacqui gives you everything you need (including a huge amount of downloadable worksheets) to plan your book in a weekend, and she walks you through step by step. The only thing she doesn't do is write the book for you. But after this course you won't have any problems doing that yourself. I'm looking forward to putting it all into practice, thanks Jacqui!

Having done this course on here at Udemy and in practise with Jacqui herself on one of her live "Plan Your Non-Fiction Book in a Weekend" events, I thoroughly recommend it! I have a plan, and outline and 1 and a half chapters written in just 4 days (2 days doing the plan and 2 days working on it). Jacqui really knows her stuff and logically takes you through the steps to get your plan done - in a weekend! I really is possible with Jacqui's guidance! I have no hesitation in recommending this course on here, and will continue to use it as I process through my book. Thanks Jacqui.

This course is incredibly thorough and leads you through a step by step process with easy to both understand and implement content to enable you to plan your book with ease. Jacqui Malpass clearly knows her stuff and my advice to anyone considering writing a book is to follow her process rather than try and do it alone.
