Want to write a book but don’t
have the time or know-how?
Our team of award-winning,
bestselling writers and
editors can help.
Go from idea to author —
without typing a word.
We set out to perfect a system for creating world-class books with the least amount of time invested by the author while still retaining their own ideas, message, and voice.
The result? Our highly successful Book Funnel.
The Book Funnel is a “done-for-you” system in which you (the author) will be interviewed by our team to get your book out of you. You will be “directing” the book while our all-star team writes it for you in your style.
The Book Funnel has three simple steps: Foundation, Creation, and Publishing. On average, the entire process takes 5 months to complete, with the author investing just 14 hours of their time to the project.

ROAD MAP
Foundation

TBF TEAM: 2 Weeks
AUTHOR: 6 Hours
OUTLINE
Through a series of calls, our master book coaches will support with your book writing goals, including defining your book topic, clarifying your book’s message, and determining your target audience. They’ll use that information to craft an organized outline that contains your book’s ideas.
Creation
Average time invested
TBF TEAM: 10 Weeks
AUTHOR: 6 Hours
INTERVIEWS
One of our professional writers will prepare questions based on your outline and interview you to create the content for your book. This interview will be recorded, and a professional editor will transcribe the content.
COPY & PROOF EDITING
The professional editor will do a complete copy edit of the book. They will proofread the book, scanning it for spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors while also checking for consistency throughout the story; correcting any areas which conflict. This process also includes you reviewing the draft manuscript and making revisions or edits. Once both processes are complete, the manuscript will be ready and the book cover design can begin.
WRITING & DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
The same writer will take the interview transcripts and create a draft book manuscript. The book manuscript will maintain your voice, tone, and your message. The page and word count will depend on the length of the interviews and guidance from the editorial team.
