Tuesday 2 September 2025, 12-1pm - “Is Your Book Solving the Right Problem?”

Got a brilliant idea for your book - but not sure if it’s hitting the mark? We’ll explore how to shape your book around what your reader really needs, so you’re not just writing what you want to say, but creating something that lands, lasts, and leads somewhere.

Just want to say how much I enjoyed your Coffee & Connect Cafe last Tuesday. Being in a group space with other authors at different stages was most enjoyable, and made me realise how far I have come in my author journey. Your expertise in general and the topic about grappling the logistics of Amazon was very helpful.

I have been looking for inspiration to start writing my chapters but didn't want to pressure myself at this point.

To ease in, I joined the Coffee and Connect Café.

Excellent experience & just what needed to give me the motivation to start writing those chapters!
