Module Two – Creating the Title Pages
Don’t judge a book by its cover! But we do! If your book does not look professional inside and out you lose your credibility and book stores will not stock your book. Use the InspireABook™ templates to produce a professional layout just like the famous publishers!

Module Three - Organizing the Chapters and content
The InspireABook™ binder gives you a simple “build your book” template to organize and capture your moments of inspiration.

Module Four – Review, Chapter Titles and Layout
Is your book organized chronological, by memorable moments or key points? Have you used quotations, photographs, letters and journal notes? How do you decide what size your book should be, what font to use, margins, headers and footers, titles?

It's OK to write as a hobby.
Why not publish it and Be the author of your dreams™

“I did not have a definite plan or idea for a book but always thought it would be cool to write a book. This course and Julie’s encouragement made it easy for me to organize my thoughts ...hearing that it was okay to want to write a book ...even if I wanted to write a book for fun.”
