Feeling stuck in the draft of your nonfiction book?
Let’s change that.
In just 72 hours, we’ll throw out the rules that have been keeping you stuck, and replace them with the only three things that matter:
—> your book’s central promise <—
—> your reader <—
—> and the spine that holds it all together. <—
You’ll walk away with a real plan you can follow, and the kind of momentum that survives contact with daily life.
This sprint is perfect for:
💫 Before you begin your book—so you start out strong
💫 When you feel stuck in the middle of your draft—to get you back on track
💫 During revisions—clarify your idea and know what you’re revising toward
💫 Writing a book proposal—nail the language you’ll use to pitch and sell your book
Join this free 3-day sprint taught by Jessie Kwak, author of From Big Idea to Book, and book coach to speakers, founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and business owners who have written books as part of their speaking or business strategy.
June 3-5, 2026
This is for you if:
You keep staring down the blank page, and it wins every time.
You’ve got a swarm of ideas and zero map of where they go.
And that little voice in the back of your head—the one asking if anyone’s even going to want this—is getting louder.
After this 3-day sprint, you’ll have:
Back-cover copy that sells your book’s value in under 300 words, and gives you a map to guide your first draft, revision, or edits.
A one-sentence premise that locks your concept into place.
A clear understanding of your reader promise and unique angle.
How it works
Starting June 3rd, you’ll get a daily lesson delivered straight to your inbox. Each daily email will contain one short video lesson and homework.
Day 1: Promise
Define your reader and the problem your book solves. End with your one-sentence promise.
Day 2: Shape
Shape your promise into a tight hook and outline the shape of your book’s argument.
Day 3: Plan
Draft and polish your back-cover copy—your book’s compass—using my template and checklist.
Bonus!
To keep all your work in one place, I’ll send you the No Rules Draft Kit—a book organizer for rule-breakers, dreamers, and rebels.
You’ll also get access to the Story Rebel Discord, where you can post your homework each day to get my feedback.
