InspireABook is the simplest book-building system in the world. It is a 8 step system which uses worksheets and templates to guide the writer how to organize the content of the book. It is suitable for writers who just have ideas and need a focus to start and for writers who have finished their manuscript but now need guidance how to turn that into "a marketable book" The system focuses on the reader and what they will learn by reading the book and what the tangible benefits of the book are. Because the system clearly identifies who the reader is it has a clearly defined market, making it more attractive to the publisher to award a publishing contract. The workshop and coaching guides the writer to "dress their book for success"
