📚 YOU HAVE THE IDEA.

NOW LET’S GET YOUR BOOK PUBLISHED.

🔥 THE FIRST BOOK BLUEPRINT

⭐ AND THIS VERSION INCLUDES A ONE-HOUR PRIVATE CONSULTATION WITH BILL JAMES

You’re not just getting the blueprint.

You’ll also get ONE FULL HOUR OF ONE-ON-ONE CONSULTING WITH ME to help you walk through the process, answer your questions, look at what you're trying to create, and help you figure out your next steps.

The book gives you the roadmap.
The consultation helps you navigate it.

✍️ YOUR BOOK DOESN’T HAVE TO STAY AN IDEA.

Maybe you've been saying:

💭 “I’ve always wanted to write a book.”

💭 “I have a great idea, but I have no idea where to start.”

💭 “I could probably write it...but how in the world do I actually publish it?”

That's exactly why I created The First Book Blueprint.

I recently went through this process myself—and discovered dozens of little things nobody bothered to tell me.

So I wrote them down.

All of them.

And turned what I learned into the step-by-step manual I wish somebody had handed me before I started.

✅ INSIDE THE BLUEPRINT, YOU’LL LEARN HOW TO:

✔️ Turn your idea into an actual book plan

✔️ Choose the right book size and page count

✔️ Build your outline before you start writing

✔️ Write and organize your manuscript

✔️ Format your book correctly

✔️ Create and prepare your cover

✔️ Understand Kindle vs. paperback

✔️ Set up your Amazon KDP account

✔️ Write the metadata that becomes your Amazon sales page

✔️ Upload and preview your files

✔️ Avoid common mistakes that can get a first book rejected

✔️ Understand pricing, printing costs, and royalties

✔️ Order and evaluate your proof copy

✔️ Navigate publish day

✔️ Know what to do during your first 30 days

✔️ And finally...

🚀 HIT PUBLISH.

No bouncing between 47 YouTube videos.

No trying to piece together conflicting advice.

No wondering what step you forgot.

Follow the blueprint. Check the boxes. Publish the book.

🎁 PLUS: ONE HOUR WITH ME.

This is what makes this version different.

After getting The First Book Blueprint, you'll also receive a one-hour private consultation with Bill James.

Bring your idea.

Bring your manuscript.

Bring your questions.

Bring the thing that's been keeping you stuck.

We'll talk through where you are, where you're trying to go, and what your next steps should be.

✅ YOUR IDEA

✅ YOUR BOOK

✅ YOUR QUESTIONS

✅ YOUR ROADBLOCKS

✅ YOUR NEXT STEPS

One hour. One-on-one.

Because sometimes you don't need another course.

You need somebody who has already walked the road to help you see the next turn.

🧠 WHY DID I CREATE THIS?

I spent nearly 40 years in federal law enforcement studying human behavior and teaching behavioral concepts, investigative techniques, and related skills to thousands of federal agents and other professionals.

Today, I use those same principles to study communication, content creation, personal branding, and what causes people to pay attention, trust, remember—and act.

I've built audiences of more than 100,000 followers, created viral content, developed digital products and educational programs, and helped other creators turn what they know into something other people can actually use.

Then I decided to publish my own book.

And I discovered something:

Writing the book wasn't the only challenge.

It was all the stuff nobody tells you comes after and around the writing.

Trim sizes.

Margins.

Formatting.

Covers.

Metadata.

Pricing.

Royalties.

Files.

Uploads.

Proof copies.

Amazon KDP.

And about fifty other little decisions you don't even know you're supposed to make until somebody asks you for one.

So I documented the process.

Now you don't have to figure it out from scratch.

⚠️ ONE LAST THING.

I'm not promising you'll become a bestselling author.

I'm not promising you'll make thousands of dollars.

And I'm definitely not promising that publishing a book is some kind of get-rich-quick shortcut.

I'm promising something much simpler:

You won't have to start where I started.

You'll start with the things I had to learn along the way already written down in front of you.

And you'll have an hour with me to help make sense of it.

💡 YOU ALREADY HAVE THE IDEA.

The question is whether it stays an idea...

or becomes a book with your name on the cover.
