Write an industry-leading book that will scale your impact.
Writing a book is a powerful way to reach more people with your ideas – but it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. Great thinking too often fails to see the light of day. Going from an idea to a published book can be difficult without an understanding of how the process works, or a clear picture of where you’re headed.
On any great journey, you can go further with a guide. Be supported through the process of writing and leveraging your book, while ensuring your ideas are robust, your insights add value, and your argument brings something different to the conversation. That’s how you’ll create impact and lead with your thinking – as a published author.

Is the Better Book Project right for me?
The Better Book Project is for purpose-driven experts who’ve always wanted to scale their impact with a book, but have never quite made it to the finish line. You might’ve started but gotten stuck, or had it on your ‘to-do’ list for ages without actually knowing how to start. Either way, you’ve got some great ideas but are struggling to get them out – and down!
From idea to book
The twelve-month Better Book Project is structured into seven key phases to take you from a writing wannabe to a fully-fledged author.

5: Overcoming blocks
6: Optimising your content
7: Leveraging your book

Better Book authors
“Worth it in so many ways”
“If I knew how much work writing a book would be, I possibly wouldn’t have started in the first place! But it was worth it in so many ways. One of the best things I did, in hindsight, is not to do it alone. I benefited from the superb book writing guidance, editing skills, and publishing contacts of Intelligent Ink – this made the journey, as well as the destination (a best selling book!), far more rewarding.”
“Highly recommend working with Intelligent Ink”
“Without Verity and her team at Intelligent Ink I would not have been able to pull off the project of writing and producing my book. I knew I wanted to write a book but (never having done it before) I had no clue where to start. Intelligent Ink helped me shape the mass of content I’d already created into something useful, then write a book that my clients and prospects ACTUALLY READ. If you are thinking about putting yourself out there as an authority in your field then I highly recommend working with Intelligent Ink.”
“Never thought I’d be an author!”
I never thought I’d be an author, but it’s thanks to Intelligent Ink for making that happen. Christina had everything planned out. What I really valued about working with her is that she was realistic but at the same time shared my goals wholeheartedly. Working with someone who would always do what they said they would made me more accountable myself. Thank you for making it such an enjoyable process!

FAQs
You can join the programme at any time and work through the lessons and modules at your own pace. However, if you want to get your book out in 2023, you'll want to start now!
- A comprehensive online course to guide you through the book-writing process
- Twelve months of access to weekly coaching calls
- Access to an exclusive LinkedIn Group to bounce ideas around and get support from fellow participants
- Two stages of editing throughout the project – one round of feedback after you’ve completed your first chapter and a full edit once your draft is complete
Before beginning the Better Book Project, you should have an idea of the book you want to write, as well as an understanding of why you want to write it and the impact that you are hoping to achieve. The rest you’ll figure out as we kick off the programme!
Ultimately that depends how quickly you want to write your book. We would suggest ensuring you’ve got at least 8-12 hours a week, which will include going through the programme, coaching calls, and writing time.
We’ve designed the Better Book Programme to write your book in twelve months, although you can move through the modules at your own pace and do it more quickly if you wish.
Although we’ll try and get you as close as possible to a completed manuscript in twelve months, we get it – sometimes life gets in the way! As part of the Better Book Project, you’ll have lifetime access to the online course and twelve months of group coaching calls. If you want to stay on the calls past your six months, you can do so for an additional $400/month.
We’ll teach you everything you need to know to write, launch, and leverage your book – but if you’re worried that you don’t have the skills to get your book to the standard you’d like, our team of editors and book coaches can help with additional support.
We like to say that if you’re having these thoughts, you’re exactly the right kind of person to be writing a book. These kinds of questions and doubts indicate a level of self awareness that shows you’re already thinking critically about your potential audience and messaging. That being said, we complete some qualifying in our initial catch-up to help you establish what you want to say and whether or not you have the experience and original insights to contribute to the conversation on your topic.
