As a young person, I was torn between choosing two different career paths. I was passionate about pursuing a career as a lawyer, but at the same time I also wanted to be a writer. Eventually, I settled on law and this saw me join law school, but the desire to write just couldn’t die down. Over the years, I have managed to write articles touching on different areas of law but I haven’t gotten round to writing a book. I know I have an idea about what I want to write about, but inking it down on paper has proved an uphill task. This is where Book Blue Print by Jacqui Pretty comes in handy.
Book Blue Print is a non-fiction book aimed at guiding entrepreneurs write books so that they become authorities in their respective industries. Though entrepreneurs are the target audience, the insight Book Blue Print provides, can be useful to anybody who has a desire to write. The introductory section successfully covers areas where most would-be writers find themselves stuck in while on their writing quest. Jacqui assures her readers that by the time they are done with the book, they should have book blue prints so detailed that those books would write themselves. After the introduction, what follows are four part sections carefully detailing the steps a writer should follow to see their book become best sellers. These parts are namely; the right idea, the right structure, the right content and the right language.
Prior to reading book blue print, I could not properly categorize books into areas where they most suitably fit in. Of the five different categories discussed, the thought-leadership type of book appealed to me the most. The persuasive nature of books in this category fits perfectly well into my desire to be an authority in specific areas of law that I feel most comfortable to provide my input in. By the time I was done with this categories section, I was convinced beyond any reasonable doubt that this was the category I can comfortably write about. I had settled on the content, structure and the most appropriate language to use in my book.
Jacqui’s writing style is very engaging. She makes use of worksheets and exercises to help the reader gauge their progress as they cover the book. She also offers a money-back guarantee if the reader fails to put a detailed plan for writing a book on condition that they do the worksheets and exercises. This approach in itself shows how committed Jacqui is to helping her readers achieve their desired results.
Book Blue Print is a book that saw me move my desire to write a book from just an idea in my head to mapping out an outline of what I would like my first book to be about. I would rate Book Blue Print 4 out of 4 stars. There is no single error that I came across. The editing, page layout and content of the book was professionally done. This is a book for any person who desires to write a book but has not quite started out on that journey.
