Hi – I’m Joanna Penn and I have always wanted to write a book. It was a life goal of mine.

But I was held back by lack of confidence in my abilities, lack of time to write and a lack of knowledge as to how to go about it.

Finally, at 33, I finished my first book “How to Enjoy Your Job”. I was so proud and excited! I was finally an author! This picture is one of the first of me with my book.

To get to the point of holding my book, I spent a great deal of time and money learning about the process of writing, publishing and marketing – as well as going through a roller-coaster of emotions. It was a fantastic, but at times a difficult experience.

While I was writing, so many people told me that they wanted to write a book too. But they just didn’t have the knowledge, time or confidence.

So I decided to write a book about how to write a book – from the perspective of someone who is not a trained author but just wanted to get my message to the world.

This book is currently in progress, but I wanted to get started helping other people to make their dream come true. So I have put together a FREE workbook that you can download. It contains some of the questions that you need to answer when you start writing, and also some encouragement, tips and tools for the process.

It is an interactive workbook that you can download, print and fill in with your answers to questions such as:

  • Why do you want to write a book?
  • What has stopped you from writing so far?
  • How you can claim the word “author” and gain confidence to write
  • What is your goal/intention in writing?
  • What shall I write about?
  • When will I write?
  • Ways of writing
  • How to structure your book
  • What about publishing?
  • How do I sell my book?

It also contains some tips and tools that I used during the process, and also some inspirational quotes to encourage you. This website also contains lots of information about writing a book, as well as selling and marketing it. Have a look at the top articles here, or read or listen to other authors talk about their experience. To get the most up-to-date information, you can subscribe to this site by RSS or email here.

I would also like to hear from you as input into the new book in order to make it the most useful resource possible.

  • What else would you like to know about writing and publishing?
  • What stories do you have about being an author, or your writing?

You can email me on joanna@TheCreativePenn.com with your questions, comments or stories and I will endeavour to provide answers and valuable information.

Wishing you all the best for your writing future,

NB. The email will be from joanna@TheCreativePenn.com and will be sent immediately. Please check your Spam folder if you don’t receive it. A second email will also be sent with the link again in a few days. If you have any problems, please do contact me.

I really didn’t want to write a book; but when I made the transformaiton from Islam to Christianity, it was such a struggle from my inter soul (after sixty years) of believing in the relgion of Islam.

From the age of five to the age of sixty; I just has to write about the struggle and accepting Christianity; giving up my God for three new God.

Thanks for the workbook. Mapping out an outline is a lot easier following a workbook or template so thanks again.
