What does it cost?

£3,000 per person, VAT included, or £12,500 for five people from one company.

Do I need a book idea already?

No. The first two weeks find your niche and your signature idea, and the book outline grows from them.

Will I finish the book in six weeks?

You finish with the outline, the first chapter and a route to publishing, which is the hard part. The plan carries you through the rest.

Repositioning you stays bookable until its booked dates have run. After that it folds into Your Executive Brand, which covers the same ground in more depth.
