The summer solstice marks the height of summer – the season where everything nature has been nurturing beneath the surface comes up to bloom. This is why I chose 22nd June to kick off this new non-fiction book development course, designed to bring to fruition the book idea that's been gestating inside you.

All books start as an idea - usually in the form of disorganised iPhone notes (guilty!), raw personal outpourings (guilty!), or garbled voice memos (popular with many of my clients). This course will give green shoots to your idea.

In 8 weeks, you will :

• Produce a concrete proposal for a publisher

• Establish a coherent narrative, format and genre

• Organise your content and topics into chapters with a logical order
