Learn how to position your self-help book for success, write a persuasive proposal for agents and publishers, and use storytelling techniques to make your message compelling.

Are you serious about becoming a published self-help book author—and are you ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work? Then this course is for you!

One of the most important secrets in publishing is that writing self-help books is different from writing books in other genres. That's because in this genre, you can land a writing contract before you complete your manuscript. In these lessons, a New York Times bestselling author shares the secrets for turning a book idea into a winning proposal to sell to publishing houses.

First, you'll learn about two of the most important players in the publishing industry—literary agents and acquisitions editors. You'll discover what they're looking for and find out how to maximise your chances of landing a contract.

Once you understand how the book industry works, you'll explore the three crucial criteria for selecting a topic for your first self-help book. You may even discover that you have more than one book in you! You'll also investigate the pros and cons of collaborating with other writers or having your book ghost written.

Next, you'll conduct a market survey of your key competitors and strategise how to position your book to sell. Then you'll find out the biggest secret for turning a self-help book into a top seller: a great hook! You'll learn the four characteristics of a good hook, and create your own sensational hook.

At this point, you'll get down to business and focus on writing your book. You'll confront one of the most challenging parts of writing a book—putting your life experience and insight into a concise, linear book format. You'll learn how to structure your book, how to speak directly to your readers, and how to use compelling stories to illustrate your message. To wrap up your writing practice, you'll create a dynamic chapter opening and learn how to write a chapter ending that keeps your readers engaged.

As you follow the step-by-step instructions in these lessons, you'll create a polished proposal package consisting of a proposal summary, a writing sample, a press kit, and supplemental information. By the end of the course, you'll have everything you need to start selling your book—and you'll know exactly what agents are looking for in a first-time author!

Courses are delivered to you through expertly executed lessons, online instruction and interaction with like-minded students. Our courses are designed to deliver all of the benefits of studying in a classroom whilst giving you the flexibility to study at a time and place to suit your needs. You can access your classroom 24/7 from any device with an internet connection.

This course has a 3 month duration. You'll complete comprehensive lessons, quizzes and assignments before submitting your final exam at the end of the course to achieve your certificate. Courses must be completed within the 3 month access period.

In this first lesson, you’ll learn one of the most important secrets in self-help publishing—that self-help books are different from all other writing genres, making it possible for you to land a writing contract before you complete your manuscript! First, you’ll get some surprising advice about what not to do as you start this process, and then you’ll take a tour of the world of self-help publishing. Once you understand how this industry works, you’ll trace the steps you’ll take as you turn your idea into a winning proposal to sell to publishing houses leading—hopefully—to your first book contract! By the end of this lesson, you’ll know all of the elements required in a strong proposal and understand exactly what you need to do to get your work published.

You might be surprised to find out that some of the most successful self-help authors have made a lot of mistakes in their lives! The difference between a “winner” and a “loser” isn’t the number of failures, but whether you learn from these mistakes. In this lesson, you’ll explore your own manuscript-worthy mistakes and learn the three criteria for selecting a topic for your first self-help book. You may even discover that you have more than one book in you! Finally, you’ll learn how to write your own success story that includes five crucial phases so you can begin to turn your experience into a system that can help others.

You've got your idea for a book, but will anyone want to buy it? In this lesson you'll learn how to make an informed assessment of current publishing trends so you can test the waters for your future book. You'll use a model that is helpful when discerning when your book would be best published, and then conduct a market survey of your key competitors on the market today. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a concise summary of the publishing market that you can add to your publishing proposal.

Do you have credibility? In this lesson, you'll gain the insight you need to answer this question with confidence. You'll start by learning more about the various ways authors establish their credibility—through education, professional expertise, personal experiences, and affiliations. Then you’ll look at authors in your subject area to see how they established their authority. This will give you the information you need to examine your own credibility, locate areas that need to be strengthened, and develop a game plan for doing just that. You’ll use these new insights to create two versions of your author bio: a short paragraph for the body of your proposal and an extended bio to include in your publishing package.

In Lesson 5, we’ll take a look at the most important people in your life—your prospective readers. Yes, you must impress your agent and editor, but even if your book is published, without readers to buy your books, your efforts won’t be successful. Essentially, a self-help book is a conversation between you and your readers, except you’re the only one talking. The readers answer you back by either buying, or not buying, your book. You’ll see that everything in your book must speak to your readers’ needs and interests. Without a clear understanding of your audience, you'll probably miss the mark. Finally, you’ll develop a clear definition of your primary and secondary audiences that will be used in your proposal package.

With this lesson, you get to the heart of the course as you begin to explore the content and structure of your book. You'll confront one of the most challenging parts of writing a book—putting your life experience and insight, which is multifaceted, into a concise, linear book format. To triumph over this challenge, you’ll explore the creative process and begin to identify your own strengths and weakness as you consider how to cooperate with your own process. Lastly, you'll see the difference between setting a goal or a “what” and a method to achieve that goal or a “how.”

In today’s lesson, you will learn about two levels of structure present in most self-help books: the overall structure that will become your table of contents and the structure of each chapter. You’ll gain a working knowledge of the four structure models most self-help book authors use. Don’t expect to sit back and absorb knowledge in this lesson! By the time you’re finished, you'll have a completed structure for your book and for the first chapter, which will serve as your writing sample.

With a good hook, your book has the best chances of getting published and onto the shelves of bookstores where excited readers will discover their new favorite author—you! In this lesson, you’ll learn that a good hook is comprised of words that mean something specific to your readers. This might seem obvious, but it requires careful and creative thought to match your hook with your topic and your specific audience. You’ll learn the four characteristics of a good hook. After studying and rating hooks in other books, you’ll be ready to create a sensational hook for your book—which you'll do in this lesson’s assignment.

In today’s lesson, the information you want to share will move from inside your head and onto the page as you begin to draft your sample chapter. You'll start by thinking about the tone you want to set and exploring how it can meet the needs of your audience. Once you’ve set the tone, you'll follow your outline and write a first draft of your paragraphs!

This lesson and the next will demonstrate the importance of using stories that help readers relate to your message. You’ll explore the four purposes of stories which are to engage, illustrate, inspire, and motivate. You’ll discover the many places you can find great stories and learn how to include them without violating other people’s privacy. In addition, you'll explore “voice” in a story: first person, second person or third person. The chapter will wrap up by showing you how to determine how many stories you will need to include in your writing sample.

In this lesson, you return to the craft of storytelling by exploring how the five-part story structure discussed earlier in the course shapes not only your success story, but also any other success stories you include, as well as the overarching structure of your book. You’ll identify where your first draft needs story illustrations. Starting at the easiest place in each story, you’ll write your first draft of each story along with transitions that introduce and conclude each story so that your chapter will read seamlessly. Finally, you’ll write a dynamic chapter opening and learn how to write a chapter ending that keeps your reader engaged and motivated to continue reading on.

The last lesson in this course pulls all of the pieces together. You'll finish writing all sections of your proposal, including the final summary and an annotated outline. Then you'll put all of the information you've gathered and written throughout this course into a proposal package with a professional, simple format. Once you're armed with your book proposal, it's time to take your first step into the publishing world as you gain tips on how to find an agent who will help take you to your ultimate goal: a book contract!

Turn your business ideas into a solid plan for financing and long-term success.

Turn your business ideas into a solid plan for financing and long-term success. Committing your idea to paper in the form of a business plan not only increases your chances of obtaining financing, but also in keeping your business strategically focused. With the support of your instructor and a network of like-minded students, you'll work through all of the major components of writing a business plan and emerge with your first draft in hand. And most importantly, you will have completed the first--and most difficult--step on the path to small business success.

In this first lesson, as you take that first step along your entrepreneurial path, you'll meet your instructor and learn about her childhood, growing up in ChocolateTown USA. You'll meet several leading entrepreneurs and determine if you have similar passions and skill sets. And, you'll discover that business plans are not just for funding your dream, but for guiding it along the path to success (as you choose to define it).

Today, you'll start to mold your business. You'll develop a vision and a mission for your enterprise. You'll define and refine your product or service, and you'll uncover your niche. This is the fun part of the journey—your only limitation is your imagination!

We'll focus on the customer in this lesson. Today's successful companies focus not on the products and services that they offer, but on the customers that they serve—on many levels. Together, we'll position your company to be customer-centric. And, you'll learn how to move that customer from satisfied to loyal (and perhaps even an advocate for your business).

In this lesson, you'll structure your organization so it's in the best position to provide your product or service to your targeted customers. I'll help you create a board of experts to guide you along your journey. You'll discover the role that change plays in your entrepreneurial evolution. Change is good—it shows that you're thinking!

Today, we’ll explore the plan within the plan—the marketing section of your business plan. We'll lay the foundation for your marketing efforts and we'll define sales and marketing (there is a difference!). We'll also explore the features and benefits of your product or service, and we'll begin the ongoing task of market research. This is where you can differentiate your product or service from that of your competition.

For today's lesson, we'll explore three separate areas of marketing. First, you'll learn about your competitors so that you can better position yourself and discover just how solid your business ideas are. We'll discuss one of the most difficult issues of new business—pricing. Finally, we become the SWOT team—analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.

Today, you'll join a panel of outstanding marketing, public relations, and graphics experts who are also entrepreneurs and believe in the power of networking. We'll explore graphic design, logos, image, public relations, and guerrilla marketing. And you'll also discover marketing in action in this lesson.

Today, we'll start by hearing Alice in Wonderland explain to the Mad Hatter that, in a topsy-turvy world, it seems like (you) have to do something wrong first, in order to learn from what not to do. And then, by not doing what (you're) not supposed to do, perhaps (you'll) be right. But (you'd) rather be right the first time, wouldn't you? Confused? We'll tackle manufacturing and operations concerns in this not-so-topsy-turvy lesson.

In this lesson, you'll learn that both successes and failures can be tremendous teachers—but you'll have to apply those lessons learned to other life or business ventures. For today's lesson, we'll take a bird's eye view of the financial section of a business plan. We'll also briefly explore the capital equipment list, the balance sheet, and break-even analysis.

In this lesson, we'll discuss three additional financial components of the plan. We'll explore the projected income statement (always a fun area!), cash flow, and historical financial records. Be sure to take some time to explore the Supplemental Links area (in this lesson and in all the others) for outstanding online resources.

Today, we'll continue our focus on money, but from a different perspective than in the previous two lessons. We'll focus on funding and financing opportunities, and by the end of this lesson, you should have a better understanding of financing. You'll also find out where to locate traditional (and not so traditional) sources of funding.

In our final lesson, you'll end one journey while beginning another. First, you'll write an outstanding executive summary. We'll discuss a few important document formatting tips, and you'll learn what supporting documents you should add to your final business plan. You now hold all the keys to the doors along your entrepreneurial path. Journey well!

What people are saying about our courses

I can't begin to tell you how much this course has helped me. For the last 14 years, I have been shying away from writing a "Business Plan." After having everything in place, I still had not written a plan, but alas, now it's done. I just have to refine and get it to read and present professionally.

Verified Student

I finally have a three-dimensional package and not just a "thought."

Verified Student

I have a small business and thought I would take this class to start up something new. I now have the knowledge that I would need to tackle that feat. During the lesson on customers, I spider webbed an idea to make my business more customer centric. I simply offered another low overhead service to my largest client. The spider web exercise led to three large markets opening up for me. I am now projecting to gross last year's income times 4. What an investment! Thanks again for the great ideas.

Learn how to transcribe the medical reports most often used in healthcare today, and discover how to get started and advance as a medical transcriptionist.

Take your first step toward a lucrative career as a medical transcriptionist! In this course, you'll learn how to transcribe the most common medical reports used in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We'll review a lot of the grammar you might have forgotten since high school and apply it to the reports. This knowledge will help prepare you to work almost anywhere in the medical field—doctors' offices, clinics, public health facilities, and hospitals. With this foundation, you'll be set to advance your education so you can work as a subcontractor for a company that outsources transcription, or you can eventually even take on your own clients—all from the comfort of your own home.

We'll go through each of the nine main report types—their formatting requirements, the components of each one, and how they are used in the clinical setting. We'll review grammar points in every lesson, pointing out important elements that will make your reports perfect. You'll also gain important clinical knowledge of major disease processes that are essential to enhance your skill as a medical documentation specialist.

Along the way, we'll download a free transcriber that you'll use to listen to dictation, and we'll cover how to use it to produce the reports in your word processor. These hands-on exercises will give you the practice you'll need to determine if this field is for you. We'll also go through the options you'll have now and in the future by developing the skills of a medical transcriptionist. By the end of this course, you'll know the basic report types, have clinical knowledge of major diseases, be able to correct grammar from dictated reports on the fly, and know the next steps you'll need to take!

In this first lesson, we'll look at the history of medical transcription as a career. You'll find out how the field has evolved into its modern form, and you'll explore the various skills and aptitudes that you'll need to succeed as a professional medical transcriptionist. You'll examine the type of work MTs produce, and we'll take a look at the MT's job today, where you might work, and what might be in store in the future for those working in this career field.

We'll start today by discussing the MT's tools of the trade. We'll review a few of the reference books and discuss the types of Web sites that MTs use for research. Then we'll take a look at the hardware and software that today's MTs use on the job. I'll talk you through downloading the free software we'll use in this course, and then we'll go through a quick tour on how to use it. By the end of this lesson, you'll be sitting at your computer, listening to a real medical dictation audio file and looking at the Express Scribe software on your screen. As you listen to the medical report, you'll practice starting, pausing, and rewinding the audio as you tap away on the keyboard.

There are nine report types that medical professionals use most often in both hospitals and clinics. So in this lesson we'll go over a variety of examples of real medical reports. We'll also do a quick review of medical correspondence. Medical letters aren't much different from traditional letters, but since you might not have typed a traditional letter in a while, you might need a refresher. We'll finish the lesson with some specific tips about pathology reports and how to handle numbers and measurements. Then you'll practice transcribing a medical letter and a pathology report.

We'll spend this lesson going over how to listen most effectively, discussing the difference between hearing and active listening. We'll also touch on many of the issues that keep voice recognition systems from replacing humans, including homonyms, synonyms, and antonyms. Then we'll discuss how you can use phonetics and vowel sounds (as well as a few other tricks!) to help you figure out a word or phrase in a muddled recording. Then we'll talk a bit about the radiology department and radiology reports, and we'll finish up by practicing transcribing one in today's assignment.

Today we're going to talk about some subjects that might make you cringe a little: grammar, sentence structure, and punctuation. But I promise this will be a painless, maybe even enjoyable, journey through some of the basic principles of writing that will help you become a better MT. Then, in our Practice Corner, we'll talk a little more about SOAP notes and then turn our attention to infectious diseases and medications. You'll also have the chance to transcribe a SOAP note and a radiology report in the assignment that accompanies the lesson.

We'll continue our examination of writing in this lesson by talking about style from the MT's perspective. When you're transcribing, you must follow editorial directions in spelling, capitalization, and typographical display. And it's those directions that are the style MTs need to be concerned about. I think you'll be surprised at how many different ways you can treat a single word. Should it be capitalized or lowercased? Should you abbreviate it, or should you spell it out? Should your numbers be in digit form or word form? These are the issues we'll be covering in this lesson. Finally, in our Practice Corner, we'll focus on the H&P report, and you'll have the chance to practice transcribing one.

No matter what you transcribe, one thing is a given: Medical terminology will be a huge part of it. That's what we'll be focusing on today. One thing to remember is that dictators aren't perfect. They might say one word when they actually mean another. Or they might say a word that has a sound-alike word, like cystitome and cystotome. If you have a good understanding of medical terminology, you can pinpoint the correct word to make sure your transcription is accurate. Then, in our Practice Corner, I'll review the basic nature of heart disease and its treatment. We'll also take a close look at another common disease: diabetes.

A critical component of the MT's work is the way you put your reports together. So in this lesson, we'll talk about how to break up your reports into sections with headings, subheadings, special line spacing, page breaks, and other formatting niceties. We'll also take a closer look at ways you can make your work easier by using word processing shortcuts, AutoText, macros, and templates. Mastering them will make you a faster and more efficient MT! In the Practice Corner, we'll focus on surgical reports. Surgical terminology is important to know, and it's also fascinating to take an inside look at what goes on in the operating room. The assignment for this lesson will include a surgical report to help you put to work all the new knowledge you've gained.

Another essential step in transcription is editing and proofreading your work. And that's what we'll concentrate on today. I'll start off by sharing some editing do's and don'ts as well as what to look for when you're proofreading. In our Practice Corner, we'll be covering a disease process that has, in some way, touched virtually everyone: cancer. Once you have an overview of cancer, we'll work on the consultation report. Physicians often ask specialists to further evaluate their patients, especially cancer patients. So this is a common report that you're likely to transcribe regularly. The assignment for this lesson includes a consult report to transcribe, and you'll also get to practice proofreading.

So far we've focused on the mechanical elements of medical transcription. But there is still a lot you need to know about clinical issues. So this will be a completely clinical lesson. We'll talk about classification systems and their transcription foibles. And now that you have the bones of grammar and style down, we're going to talk about some real bones. We'll begin by discussing information on fractures and spine levels. Finally, in our Practice Corner, we'll discuss discharge and death summaries. They are very similar reports, but we'll take a look at some of their subtle differences.

This lesson will be similar to the last in that it covers lots of clinical issues. It won't all be clinical, however. There are a few miscellaneous things that I want to make sure I share with you. They don't really fit into neat categories, so I've put them all here. Once we finish with these miscellaneous items, we'll jump back into some clinical issues. We'll be talking specifically about infections. Then we'll turn our attention to smaller parts of the body—cells and blood. Then, in our Practice Corner, you'll see how everything you've learned can come together in an autopsy report. This is probably the longest, most comprehensive report you'll ever come across. And, of course, you'll have the chance to transcribe an autopsy report in the assignment!

By now you have the tools and the knowledge you need to dip your toe into the waters of medical transcription. But we still have a couple of big questions to answer. How do you manage your workload? Also, how do you establish yourself as a medical transcriptionist? And do you need more training? Today we'll discuss all the different ways you can work—everything from being an independent contractor all the way up to consultant work. We'll talk about additional training as well. Then we'll take a peek at some of the events on the horizon, and you'll see why this is an exciting time to enter the transcription field. For our final Practice Corner, we'll look at the Health Story Project. It's an initiative to develop standards for integrating narrative reports (like the ones you've been transcribing) into the electronic medical record in a meaningful way—giving them the ability to be searched and to extrapolate data like we have never been able to do before.

What people are saying about our courses

I have been transcribing workers' compensation medical-legal reports for years. This course was an eye opener into what I lacked, what is missing in my reports, and my level of competence. I got busy and copied mountains of pertinent information to be studied again and again at my leisure so I can upgrade my skills. I have had a secret desire to work as a transcriptionist for a hospital or the County Medical Bureau, but I am
nowhere near prepared. This course was of immense value in helping me assess my current level of competence. I plan to practice transcribing reports over and over again. Thanks so much for the templates. I cannot express enough how valuable this course was for me.

Verified Student

This course exceeded my expectations. It was everything I was looking for and more. A++ for the instructor. I completed the Medical Secretary Training ( a 9-month course) at a technical college ~ 20 years ago and wanted to see how the industry changed, brush up my skills and decide if this was a career for me. Jennifer is so pleasantly willing to present a vast of array of resources, details, nuances, considerations, and experiences. I have taken a few on-line courses and this by far was the best one.

This course gave me information that I did not know even though I've been a medical transcriptionist for almost 9 years. I always learned something new in each lesson and was very informative. The resources given to you for future reference are very useful as well. I enjoyed taking this refresher course and would definitely recommend it to friends and family.
