Transform Your Message
Into a Story
Your Audience Will Remember Forever
Having a book brings credibility to you as you build your brand.
A story that touches the heart and instills powerful principles can change lives while creating lasting and loyal connections.
Together, we can deliver that value for you and your followers.
– Jeff C.West
How would you answer this question:
Why do you want to write a book?
“I’ve already written “how-to” books, and I have a platform with an existing audience. Co-authoring a business parable or memoir would give me the ability to touch the heart of my audience and provide value in a new way that they’ll remember for years. I still remember reading my first business parable!”
“I’ve built a successful business and have taught others to do the same. I now want to share those principles with a larger audience. Co-authoring a business parable or memoir would help me elevate my exposure as I develop a national and international brand.”
“I am a consultant, workshop leader, or a business coach. Co-authoring a business parable or memoir will help me establish my credibility and bond with prospective and existing clients.”
“I’ve always known that I have a good book in me. My journey has taught me lessons I’ld love to share with the world. Co-authoring a book gives me the ability to borrow the expertise of someone who could help me realize that dream.”
When your message is weaved into a wonderfully crafted story… some amazing things have the opportunity to happen…

My “business parable”, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) came out in early 2008. It turbocharged my career and accelerated it to an entirely new level. And now, having had the pleasure of coauthoring my current business parable with Jeff I can tell you from personal experience that the man is not only a joy to partner with; he is truly a master at his craft.

Because they connect a positive emotional experience with a logical plan to succeed… creating a FusionPoint™ – an almost unbreakable bond. The stories touch the heart, the principles equip for success, and the audience uses that combination to chart a new course for their future.
Your message can be crafted in the same way providing tremendous value to both you and your audience.
So, what is the process and how do we discuss the possiblity?
Step One:
We have a no obligation initial conversation. We will discuss your message, your planned use of the book, your existing and potential audience, and my fee structure.
Step Two:
Once we’ve agreed upon the project, one third of the fee is due. We then have multiple interviews where we dive into your personal story, and the contextual nuances of your message.
Step Three:
Research begins. Story arcs are crafted. Characters are mapped. And the drafting begins. I’ll send you drafts of the first 2-3 chapters, to make sure we are in alignment on the story. Then I’ll go behind closed doors to complete the full first draft. Once the 1st draft is complete, I’ll rewrite and reduce… think “making a great sauce.”
Payment # 2 is due at this point.
Step Four:
If indie-publishing, the drafts are professionally edited, the bookcover is designed, and the manuscript is assembled. If traditionally published, the book proposal is written. The final payment is due at this time.
Then, based on the publishing choice, the final draft is copyrighted, ISBNs are filed, Library of Congress desigations are filed. Properly formatted copies are uploaded in Amazon, Kindle, Audible, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Google Play and Kobo formats.
The time to completion depends on the project – generally 6-12 months. And that time starts by clicking here to email Jeff and discuss the possibilities.
