"Your tips and how-to advice are always right on target! You have a gift for taking a complex subject (writing and publishing a book) and making it feel fun, fresh, and do-able. Plus, your writing style is itself a valuable resource. Your newsletter, articles and products always give me an instant shot of inspiration, and a reminder to stay focused on writing from the heart and being clear about my message."

“Sophfronia helped me get out of the procrastination stages and take my work seriously. I actually finished a book that was sitting on the shelf. I got an agent a few months after that. Now I have a writing parter, (using another one of her tips form the 21-Step Guide). Using the Guide, it felt like I was still working with Sophfronia one-on-one. You'll find a renewed sense of appreciation for your own talent as a writer."

Want to Attract More Speaking Engagements, More Publicity, More Clients, More Business Than You Ever Thought Possible? Then...

Get Published Now!

You Can Have Your Book Completely Written, Professionally Edited, Designed and Published With 500 Copies in Your Hands In Just 6 Months!

If You're Serious About Finishing the Book You've Been Meaning to Do Forever, This is the Way to Do It

Let Me Show You How, Right Now…


From the desk of: Sophfronia Scott, Newtown, Connecticut, USA


Dear Aspiring Author,

Are you a speaker, entrepreneur, or coach who has always wanted to write that amazing book that showcases your expertise and would surely boost your business tenfold but you…
  • Were never quite sure how to get your brilliant ideas down on paper
  • Have tons to say but can't seem to organize it or make it interesting
  • Don't have the time or patience to sit down and write
  • Know your core genius is in doing what you do best--which IS NOT writing!
  • Wished you could just outsource the whole project and know you'll end up with a quality product that totally reflects you, your ideas and your business.
  • Are too busy with your business and family to do the job justice.

If this is you…
You Are Not Alone!

According to USA Today, 82% of Americans want to write a book. 82%! That’s an astonishing number. And yet we know that 82% of the population HAS NOT written a book. Where are all those books? Many hopeful authors start out on their publishing journey, but get stuck and don’t know what to do next. The fact of the matter is…

Books Don’t Get Published Because They Don’t Get Finished!

There’s nothing worse than being a writer who’s at a loss for words! You sit at the desk and nothing happens. Then one day you get so frustrated you don’t go back to your desk. One day turns into two days, two turns into six or seven until suddenly weeks or even MONTHS have gone by without your having written a word!

Now you’ve joined the faceless ranks of the unpublished who have unfinished manuscripts hidden in a desk drawer. Only there's a big difference here FOR YOU! You're an entrepreneur or a speaker or a coach and the truth is...

You're Losing MONEY By Not Having a Book!


When you don’t publish a book, when you don’t take full advantage of the knowledge and experience that it has taken you years to accumulate, you are leaving a serious amount of MONEY on the table. You’re also missing the chance to take your business to the next level!

Without a book, you’re missing out on:

  • Attracting new, better quality clients.
  • Establishing your authority.
  • Quick and easy product sales.

Your book can be your ultimate lead generation tool. Marketing guru Dan Kennedy recently published not one, but two new books: No B.S. Direct Marketing and No B.S. Wealth Attraction for Entrepreneurs. The covers of both books (front and back) highlight the following offers:

  • Free audio CD inside the book
  • Free email course and direct marketing tool kit
  • Free $995 value seminar tickets
  • Free teleseminar invitation
  • Free newsletters
  • The chance to enter a contest to win a Ford Mustang car.

A few other books, including Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, have similar giveaways although maybe not with the same glorious abundance of Mr. Kennedy. But why all the free stuff? When you see this in a book the savvy author is using his book as a lead generation tool. When the reader signs up to take advantage of one of the free offers they are handing over their contact information—and usually permission for you to keep contacting them for marketing purposes!

Putting such pages in your book won’t cost you anything extra.

In fact the funds will flow when you turn this new customer into a purchaser of your higher end products and services. And that task may be easier to do because chances are this will be a higher quality customer:  This person has sought out your book, either online or in a bookstore. They have already paid for your knowledge so you know they value what you have to say. If they are buying books, they are probably gathering information and will want more. Who better to give it to them than you?

 

Establish Your Authority

Authors are still considered very special people in our society. We mutually acknowledge that writing a book is a pretty tough thing to do, so when someone actually does it, we are all impressed by it. Because so few people actually follow through and write a book we know it means that an author must have something to say and is committed enough to sit down and invest the time to say it. Folks who believe they lack that kind of commitment are truly impressed with someone who does--someone who writes a book and manages to get it published.

What does this mean for you? Instant authority! That means:

  • Potential clients will sit up and take notice because you literally “wrote the book” on the problem they’re dealing with.
  • Event organizers will want to invite you for speaking engagements (where you can sell even more copies of your book!).
  • Other people in your field will you seek you out for consultations. (Make sure you charge them when they show up!)

Even if you're not an entrepreneur, you can still earn financial benefits from your book in non-direct ways. Think of it like this: your book becomes your business. You use it to attract speaking engagements, teaching gigs, or even consulting work. You could develop a high fee workshop or intensive around your book. Many of the teachers in continuing education programs such as those offered through The Learning Annex (www.learningannex.com) are authors who have done just that. If you're in the corporate world, think of this: few people get to walk around with the word "author" on their resume, so it's sure to stand out when you're hunting for your next job. In fact, it may bring you better offers!

With authority, you can also attract publicity, especially if your topic is tied to current events. Have you ever noticed that the guests interviewed on news programs are often introduced as “the author of such and such book”? Six times out of ten, the book is not one you’d find on the New York Times bestseller list. But is the quality of the exposure the person receives the same? You bet! You can get that same exposure for your business too!


How Much Is A New Client/Deal Worth To You?


Okay, let's talk numbers! Let me ask you a few questions:

  • What's your average size job? In other words, how much money do you make with each client or each deal you do?
  • What do you put back into your business?
  • What type of advertising do you do and how much do you spend on it?
  • How long have you been in business?
  • Are you ready to take your business to the next level?

When you answer these questions it's so easy to see how much a book can bring to your business. For instance, if the book we create together helps you to get 4 more deals, you could easily pay for the cost of my service many times over! Plus you've made ongoing connections that will bring you even more money for months or even years to come.

And remember, the book itself is a product you can sell. If you sell the 500 copies of your completed book that come included in this program, you'll once again make back most if not all of your investment. (If you have doubts that you can sell or use 500 books, this program is not for you!) And you'll have help with your sales: your book will be available in bookstores, on Amazon.com and listed in Books in Print. I will also help you create your own personal marketing plan? How is all this possible?

Here's my new program...

Introducing…

“GET PUBLISHED NOW!”

Our Exclusive Book Writing, Publishing and Marketing Service

You Can Have Your Book Completely Written, Professionally Produced with a Marketing Plan Designed Just For You

Plus: 500 Finished Copies Delivered to Your Door, All For One Price!

It can all happen in just 6 months! We will take care of your entire project while you focus on your core genius--your special gifts and talents that make you money! Even if you haven't figured out exactly what your book is about, you'll receive the coaching to help you figure it all out. By the end of our time together your all friends, family and business associates will be shocked and amazed by the quality book you've "written".

Here's how it works:


Professional Content Coaching and Manuscript Creation


I take you through a special 3-step process to organize your ideas and structure it into the powerful content that will be your book. We'll then "capture" your specific ideas and authentic voice which I then use to prepare your manuscript. I do all the heavy lifting for you! Once your manuscript is completed you'll move on to...

 

The Publishing Process

Here's were we get into the production of your physical book. Through a special partnership with Advantage Media Group my program can provide you with these special publishing services that cover every single detail of the process. No need for you to hire any editors or designers--it's already done! You'll be assigned your own Project Manager who will keep you on track to complete production on schedule. You'll never have to wonder what's going on with your book!

I'm proud to offer this aspect of the program because it means you won't be left with a stack of pages, confused about what to do next. And you won't have to shell out more money! Best of all, you keep the copyright to your work. Period.

Once the manuscript enters the publishing process you'll get...

 

Professional Editing

Yes, I will deliver a clean, publishable manuscript for your book--THEN the pages will receive a full copy edit to check for correct spelling, grammar and consistency. Think of it as a buff up--by the end your manuscript will be so polished it'll shine!

Professional Cover Design & Text Layout


Ever see a self-published book that looked, well, cheap and self-published? That's usually because the author failed to get the book's cover and text professionally designed and formatted. Maybe they didn't have the money for the extra expense. Maybe they thought someone they knew could do an okay job. Whatever the case the end result was a waste of the time and money, especially since the person was too embarrassed to show the book to anyone!

With Get Published Now you will get a high quality cover and text design--which means your book won't look like it was just a Microsoft Word document run through a Xerox machine! This will be a book you'll be proud to claim as yours.

Why is this important? Because if you don't have a good-looking book, stores will be less willing to stock it. Simple as that!

 

Complete Distribution including Amazon.com, Books in Print, Cataloging by Ingram Book Group Which Places You in Bookstores Nationwide!

 

Your book will get its own ISBN (the identification number that allows people to find your book and buy it!) and it will be listed on Amazon.com and in Books in Print. And distribution? As you may already know, getting distribution is one of the biggest challenges in self-publishing--it's what allows you to get your book into stores like Borders or Barnes & Noble! With Get Published Now, distribution is included in your price! Your book will be added to the catalog of Ingram Book Group. Ingram is the world's largest wholesale distributor of books and a listing with them means your books can be stocked in stores. Even if your book isn't on the shelf, a person can request it for order--a big advantage because it means your book is available everywhere!

 
500 Copies Included in the Price and Delivered to Your Door!


Nothing feels better than having the finished product in your hands. That 's why I wanted very much to include this feature in my program. Once your book's production is complete you will receive your own copies. As mentioned above, if you sold every single one you've already made back the cost of your investment. This is indeed a valuable benefit.

 

BONUS: Complete Custom Marketing Plan

One more thing: I wanted to give you a running head start on selling your book. I figured the best way I could do that was to write up a custom marketing plan that will help you get the book into the hands of your target market. I will give you ideas for pitches and promotions and press releases to send out. You'll even receive press contacts that can help you get priceless publicity. I want you to succeed and having your own marketing plan is the best way to make that happen.

 


Why Work With Me?


While you may find similar services elsewhere, you can be assured that with me you are truly getting "the pro from Dover"! I have over fifteen years of experience as a professional writer and editor at "Time" and "People" magazines where I worked with some of the best (and toughest) editors in the world! Taking information from a vast array of sources and crafting it into one solid, engaging piece is something I've done my whole career--in fact it's what I'm trained to do!

I'm also a published book author: I published my first novel, All I Need to Get By, with St. Martin’s Press and thanks to my online marketing, viral marketing, publicity and visibility strategies, I garnered speaking invitations for major events around the country, was featured in People and Essence magazines, was interviewed by Investors Business Daily, BBC Radio, and Black Enterprise magazine. I was also hailed by no less than Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. as potentially “one of the best writers of her generation.”

Most recently I've been published in the latest in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, Chicken Soup for the African American Woman's Soul. (Below there's me signing TONS of books at a signing in Los Angeles!) I'm thrilled to join the long line of distinguished writers in these books which have sold more than 60 million copies!

On the education front I have a bachelor’s degree in English from Harvard. I'm also a professional life coach--I graduated from Coach U. and I've coached dozens of clients to satisfying life and career decisions through my company, Creative Coaching Plans. I'm also a member of the Author’s Guild, the Women’s National Book Association, the International Coach Federation, and the Association of Writers and Writing Programs.

So you see when you retain “The Book Sistah” you'll be getting quality, knowledge and experience that would be difficult to find elsewhere. And I would be happy to share all of this with you to create your best book!


What's Your Investment?


The total fee for the GET PUBLISHED NOW! program is $12,500. That's it. Let's recap what you get for your investment:

  • Complete Manuscript Creation
  • Complete Book Production Overseen by Your Own Project Manager
  • Professional Editing of Your Book
  • Professional Cover Design and Text Layout
  • ISBN Assigned to Your Book
  • Complete Book Distribution
  • Custom Marketing Plan
  • 500 Finished Copies of Your Book

If you sold your 500 copies for $25 each you'd make that back immediately. Or, depending on your business, procuring one client from your book could pay for the whole thing.

You begin with a deposit of $5,000, payable by check, credit card or PayPal. The balance of the fee will be paid in 2 payments of $3,750.

It's as simple as that! Your book would be underway from the moment of our first meeting.

What Might Stop You from Taking

Advantage of This Opportunity...

Okay, as attractive as this program is, I'm told by "the experts" that only about 3-5% of the people receiving it will respond. Although those are supposed to be great numbers from a business standpoint, it still bothers me personally. You see, I know how much the writers using my services benefit from them. I read their emails, I talk to them on the phone; I see them personally when they attend my appearances. Because of this, I just hate the thought of someone not signing on for Get Published Now because of some error or omission in my explanation. That's why I surveyed my customers just to try to figure out why you might say "no" to this extraordinary program. They could only think of these reasons. Here they are:

1.) I'm not ready (confident, creative, etc.).

I can understand if you don't know what you're going to write about just yet, but if you already have your book in mind, then this is the program that will help you get your information organized and structured into a highly effective book. You'll have the best strategies and my personal professional experience guiding you every step of the way.

2.) I can't afford it right now.

If investing this kind of money for UNLIMITED ACCESS to a personal, private mentor to help you complete your book and successfully sell it seems like a lot of money to you, consider all the authors who have spent that kind of money on boxes and boxes of a mediocre book that are sitting in their garages and basements and hasn’t made them a single dollar!

OR you could easily drop that much money on a few pricey writing and publishing seminars that promise the world, but are just too crowded for you to make any significant contact with anyone once you get there. Either way the result is the same: You don't end up with a book that will help you in your business.

And yes, you could spend less and get published elsewhere--if you ever manage to finish writing your book. But the finished product will look cheap. Believe me, I've seen enough poorly produced books to know. You'd be embarrassed to show the book to anyone, let alone a potential client. Your credibility would go right out the window.

You'd also have a difficult time getting a bookstore to take your book or have you in for signings. They can pretty selective about what the books they stock look like. How would you feel if you had 500 books you couldn't do anything with just sitting in your garage reminding you daily of how much money you've wasted?

You deserve to give yourself the best chance to be successful with your book, and this program is it!

3.) I can do this on my own.

Yes, you could write and publish a book on your own, hiring all the help you need along the way. But you'll soon find out how much it will cost you: a high-caliber ghostwriter would cost a minimum of $25,000. Remember that's just to get the book written. You'd still have to hire an editor, a designer and pay a printer to produce your book. Then you would have to order copies and then figure out how to sell them. When you add it all up you'll be spending $40,000-$50,000. Also, consider the hundreds of hours of time you will WASTE trying to learn everything about how to do this on your own -- you could spend the next five years floating on “cloud clueless” and not make a dime, or even worse, go into tons of debt from having a poor publishing plan or -- worse -- buying information on strategies you can't or just won’t put into action.

4.) I don't have time to do this right now.

If you don't have time for this, you're saying you don't have time to devote to a credible, surefire way to bring you more speaking engagements, more clients and more money. Does that make sense to you?
