I Have a Great Idea for a Book (or do I?)
It’s not enough to have a great idea for a book; you have to know whether your idea is great for you.
Book ideas are not created equal; some are simply better than others. It’s critical, therefore, to choose wisely.
You’ll get the direction you need in I Have a Great Idea for a Book (or do I?).
More specifically, you’ll learn how to rate your book ideas according to key criteria. By interpreting your scores, you will better understand how willing and able you are to begin—and complete—a given project.
You’ll also learn how to sort through your ideas, as you would your clothes closet. In the process you’ll identify the ideas that still fit and those that should be tossed. Finally, you will learn how to choose the one idea you simply must get to —the one that matters most to you and the readers you long to touch with your words.
