Write a Book

Featured by MENSA and used by content writers at IBM, AT&T, Intel, the Discovery Channel, British Telecom and dozens of other companies, ‘Write any Book in Just 28 Days‘ boasts an impressive list of credentials.

But is it really possible to write a whole book in 28 days? Isn’t that just too good to be true? Well, Nick Daws not only claims it to be true, he guarantees it. In fact, he goes one step further and says, “The first time you do the it, you’ll probably manage it within 14 days, and the second time in around a week. But, nobody’s going to believe you if you claimed you could show someone how to write a book in 7 days flat. So 28 days it is.”

Nick goes on to explain that Charles Dickens wrote his literary classic ‘A Christmas Carol’ in just 2 weeks. Samuel Johnson wrote ‘Rasselas: Prince of Abyssinia’ in an amazing 4 days. Barbara Cartland took only 5 days to write each of her books, resulting in an amazing 623 best-sellers during her lifetime. The hit self-help book ‘Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff’ is still selling in its millions - and the first was written by Dr Richard Carlson on a 12-hour transatlantic flight.

Even the world’s best-selling novelist, Agatha Christie wrote all her manuscripts in under a month. She famously told the BBC, “I find no reason why one month isn’t adequate time to write a book.”

How? Are there really writing secrets that only these few prolific writers had discovered?

Nick Daws seems to think so. His course unveils them in a simple step-by-step guide to help you create your manuscript in record time.

The course itself is only four weeks long. Nick’s teachings can be applied to fiction, non-fiction, screenplays, movie scripts, or whatever genre you can think of. If it can be written, it can be written in 28 days. Or less.

Scribble Resource delved into the contents of the course to find out what’s on offer. Here’s a list of the key areas covered by the course (for copyright reasons, we can’t go into too much detail here):

The ’secrets’ behind Freewriting. Freewriting makes up an integral part of the course. Despite its simplicity and effectiveness, nobody in the industry seems to talk about it. This feature alone was enough to blow us away.
How to divide your writing into 5-minute segments to keep your motivation high and your boredom levels low.
Exactly where to purchase a best-selling plot for just fifty cents.
How to develop an in-depth and interesting character, using “mega-quick character creation”.
The four quickest research methods that just happen to have nothing to do with the Internet.
The wonder of Power Editing which enables you to edit your entire book in under an hour.
Ten modern title templates that will rocket your book sales.
The top ten reasons people give to explain why they can’t write a book and, more importantly, how to overcome them.
Where to find out exactly what your industry wants from a non-fiction book - without even asking.

It doesn’t matter WHO you are or what experience you have. The course is designed so that you’ll be holding your final manuscript after just one month. Not only that, you’ll also have the knowledge to get that manuscript out there. It was about now that I started thinking, this sounds too good to be true. In fact, when I was asked to review the course, I was more than skeptical. Now I have to admit that the results have been impressive to say the least.

Karl Moore (www.karlmoore.com), the CEO of the company that helped produce the course, White Cliff (www.whitecliff.net) was also openly skeptical about the claims made by Nick Daws and his new course. He has always been open about his passion for writing, but running an international technology group leaves him precious little time to write anything at all.

Karl decided to pay particular attention to this course, and held more than a professional eye on proceedings during production. Within just two months of the final production milestone, he had written two full non-fiction books in his spare time, both of which are published by publishing giant Springer-Verlag. Earlier this year, both his books went into their second print run and have been translated into six languages.

Nick’s list of corporate customers includes AT&T, IBM, FedEx, British Telecom, UPS, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Network Solutions, Sun, Deloitte & Touche, Dow Jones, Merrill Lynch, the Discovery Channel, Time Warner, Nationwide Insurance, Intel, Xerox, and even Microsoft.

Nick Daws makes two daring claims for his course. He promises that employing his techniques:

1. you’ll be able to write your next manuscript in under 28 days.
2. you’ll secure yourself a publishing contract within 3 months.
Pardon me, but those are two very bold statements! However, Nick manages to back up his claims by offering a generous guarantee. If you are not satisfied with the course for any reason, you can return it for an instant refund, no questions asked.

In addition, all new customers a free bonus package which includes:

An address book of the hottest US and UK publishers - the people you need to contact with your completed manuscript.
A directory which shows the covert web-sites that movie producers visit to find new manuscripts, and how you can submit yours to them.
Listings of the best-paying short story publishers in the US and UK.
Inspirational guides: ready to use book titles, plot sheets, and idea keywords.
Full copies of in-demand Microsoft Word screenplay templates in US and UK formats.

The course providers are also running a special offer at the time of writing which entitles you to free international shipping & handling, so the entire course will be delivered to you free of charge.

Finally, the course is packed with practical information that is touted as ’secrets’ of the trade. Whether or not the list of solid techniques and advice are secret or not, they are practical and allowed Nick to create, for example, two internationally best-selling guides to living in Italy and Spain without ever having visited the countries. Here is a list of just some of the tricks contained in the course:

The truth behind “technologies” and how spending a few minutes developing your own can quadruple book sales.
An ingenious method of injecting instant scene setting into your books, using just two extra words. This one really is pretty clever.
The Four C’s and Hero’s Journey writing models that’ll ensure you develop a sound plot every time.
The precise techniques our managing director used to write two non-fiction books in two months, whilst running an international technology group.
Why characters are key to any book – fiction and non-fiction.
How to take one “overused” book concept and turn it into a best-selling title.
Four simple steps to outlining and blueprinting your book, the very easy way.

What to do once you’ve written your manuscript, plus who you’ll need to contact.
How to gain record sales the intelligent way, with completely free publicity.

This list is just a sample of the well-kept secrets Nick reveals to enable you to begin writing your books, articles, stories, screenplays, memoirs, and more in just minutes. It doesn’t promise to be a ‘push-button’ solution to writing your book, but if you apply yourself you are certain to achieve your end result - to publish your book - much faster than you had ever imagined possible.

While it may not be the guaranteed key to a premier lifestyle, “celebrity” status and industry kudos that the sales pitch promises, a lot of the techniques this course teaches are sound, practical tips that have proven valuable assets to writers who have succeeded in their writing endeavours. The list of testimonials is very impressive. Here are just a select few:
