Transform Your Writing With The Start Your Novel Challenge.

The sun comes out in England once every 5,000 years, and this weekend it is glorious. So what am I doing? My duty as a true British gentleman, which is to sit indoors moaning about how hot it is while working on my latest novel. I'm lucky that I'm very motivated to write. For a long time, that wasn't the case. I was an aspiring author who felt frustrated, overwhelmed, and unsure of where to begin.


Writing a book is unlike coaching or speaking; it's a solitary process that can be daunting without the right guidance. Your book is more than just a collection of words—it's your most powerful calling card. It demonstrates your ability to communicate ideas in a compelling, clear, and entertaining way. Plus, it's a way to extend your reach, helping more people than you ever could through one-on-one interactions alone.


Whether you've been thinking about writing a book for years or you've started but found yourself stuck, I can highly recommend her Start Your Book Challenge! It is incredibly cheap to join at only $47, but more importantly, it is very effective in clarifying your internal and external motivation for writing a book, so you'll stay excited about your writing. The main ingredient that has kept me writing for so many years. Even when it's sunny outside!

Meet Your Instructor: Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D.

Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., who also writes under the pen name Cecilia Dominic, is a USA Today bestselling author who penned her first story at the tender age of two. Although she became a clinical psychologist due to her fascination with people and their stories, her passion for writing never waned.

By day, Anne helps people overcome insomnia in her private practice, and by night, she crafts fiction that keeps her readers turning pages long past bedtime. She juggles her two careers with a sense of humour, preferring to call herself versatile rather than conflicted.

A sought-after speaker, Anne delivers entertaining and engaging talks on a variety of topics, ranging from Victorian hysteria and the occult to modern-day sleep strategies for professionals. With more than twenty novels, novellas, two full-length nonfiction books, and several short stories to her name, Anne's experience spans both traditional and independent publishing. She currently writes steampunk, urban fantasy, and her own brand of meta-fiction, all while living in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and the world's cutest cat.
