Is this the year you start
and finish your book?
Are you an executive, entrepreneur, consultant, creative, or thought-leader, looking to share your experience and expertise?
Writing a book takes time, energy, and patience. Make sure you are doing it for the right reasons.
There are TWO right reasons:
- You want to. If you are only writing a book because people keep telling you that you need to write a book – you have good stories, an interesting background, a unique system or methodology – then that is not enough. You also need to want to write it.
- You have something to say. Just because it is easier than ever to publish in our tech-centric world, it does not mean everyone should do it. You need to have something new, fresh, thought out, and well-executed, so it reflects well on you and your business.
That’s it. Now, all you need is the time and tenacity to write it.
If you need a plan for getting your ideas out of your head, organized, and onto the page, I can help!
I offer book development and book proposal consulting.
We will:
- Determine Your Book’s Mission and Motto
- Explore What Goes into It
- Brainstorm Your Plan for Turning Your Book into Reality
If you are a busy professional, determined to share your expertise, and are ready to get started, schedule a chat with DEB or contact deb@thedebmethod.com.
Services include:
- Give me an hour, I’ll give you a plan
- 3-session jumpstart
- Done with you book/book proposal consulting
* All sessions are recorded via Zoom and come with the replay link
Why write a book proposals for your non-fiction book? Think of a book proposal as a business and marketing plan. It helps you stay organized, focused and forward-thinking. Book proposals give you an advantage, whether you plan to publish independently or traditionally.

TESTIMONIALS
At the start of writing my first cookbook, I was overwhelmed with task of niching down all of the overflowing ideas I had. I reached out to Deb who helped me hone in on what I wanted to achieve as a new cookbook author, which in return had turned into a best-selling Mediterranean cookbook! I’m very grateful for Debs professionalism and expertise in both entrepreneurship and writing.
“I wouldn’t have my book without Deb. Period. She was with me every step of the way from concept to printing. Her guiding hand knocked some sense into me more than once and I’m tremendously grateful. Under her tutelage, I made something I’m tremendously proud to have out in the world. She’s a cheerleader strategist wizard, and a damn good writer herself. I highly recommend her if your concept needs polishing or your strategy needs solidifying. Or, in my case, both!”
When I set my sights on being a serious writer with attention-deficit, I had trouble focusing and felt overwhelmed. I found Deb’s Facebook page, Write On! Online and began following her posts and podcasts. Every Sunday she’d tell us to post our weekly goals, then at the end of the week, did we meet them? If not, why? Deb has a positive, enthusiastic, infectious energy that has made a difference for me as a new writer. By following her posts and listening to her podcasts, I’ve developed the self-discipline to stay on task, complete them, and remain focused. She helped me break down the novel writing process into bite-sized pieces that moved me forward each day, no matter how small the task. I’m now revising two novels that will be published within the year. If you want to be a published author, Debra Eckerling will get you there!
I have been talking for the past year about writing my own book. It wasn’t until I met Debra at a networking event in June 2012 that I realized she would be the perfect person to help me with the process. When I saw how she works, I instantly hired her to walk me through the process.
In less than 120 days my book went from a dream to an Amazon best seller. Debra … focus[ed] my efforts on the most important parts of writing my book. If you want to write your own book, I highly suggest you sit down with Debra and consider hiring her to walk you through her plan. She’s amazing.
I always knew I had a book buried deep inside me, hiding behind the layers of fat, muscle, and blood coursing through my veins. When I met Debra Eckerling, I allowed my book, the book I was meant to share with the world, to come out of the closet, just like I had.
Thank God, Debra inspired me to once again break through my false beliefs about my ability to write. I’ve since become known as an international blogger, the go-to guy for coming out with a twist of humor, and have been inspiring humans, regular old humans, to step out of the closets that hold them back from living their most authentic lives!
