STARTING YOUR BOOK

A GUIDE TO NAVIGATING THE BLANK PAGE BY ATTENDING TO WHAT’S INSIDE YOU

A Book Whisperer opens a path to finding your own path to writing a book,

and discovering the treasures of your true creative nature in the process.

Starting your book is not a formula you need to learn.

It’s an organic growth that can only come out of you.

You are not incidental to writing the book of your heart — you are essential.

This presence, from which your words will flow forth, is your real gift —

to yourself as well as your readers.

Did you ever wish you could just wave a magic wand and come out with a book that you love?What if you could love not only the end “product” but also the process that led to it?

You can.

Starting Your Book invites you to listen for the treasures within you in ways that you may not even have thought of.

Ways that spring forth writing from you with such naturalness that the gifts they bring don’t have to be strained for — they offer themselves.

By bringing light to your actual creative nature (not how you’re “supposed” to write but how it’s actually in you to write) and listen to what’s inside you, everything you need arises. This not only serves your book, but it nourishes who you are becoming in the process of writing it.

In this way, your book is writing you into the surprising “more” of you at the same time that you are writing it.

Writing your book is not an “assignment.” It’s a living relationship. And when you know your own creative makeup — and your connection to the Source of creation — this relationship blesses you in ways far beyond simply writing a book.

Readers who have used and enjoyed working with Starting Your Book write:

“Your book is overflowing with so much wisdom.  I did not expect such an inward journey.  It's exactly what I needed.  I'm in a much greater state of allowing, rather than controlling and dictating.  I feel very relaxed and like my ideas are going to flow so much smoother now.”—Erik Carlberg, author  

“When you read something true, it feels like love, or gratitude, or a connection to something larger. This is how I feel when I read Starting Your Book. The deeper place that Naomi’s words emerge from serve to invite and induct me into a more heart-full and connected place within my own writing. Her book has been a solace and a reminder that I do have something to say. We all do." — Shelly Klammer, author, Collage for Self-Discovery. From the Foreword to Starting Your Book

 “Reading your book was like receiving a comforting hug of encouragement. The connection of writing and the heart — of the practice of writing as a way to get in touch with our divinity — how could this elude us, ever? Once you have this treasure in your being, you realize how clear it all is — why we write, why it matters.” — Jane Majkiewicz, writer, editor, literary agency associate emeritus

An Organic Approach to Structuring Your Book

A RIGHT-BRAINED ALTERNATIVE TO OUTLINES (WORKBOOK INCLUDED)

If you have a great idea for a book, but you're more right-brained and don't like making outlines,

here's a whole other way to go about it.

Say goodbye to rigid outlines
and hello to a way to structure your book
that lets your innate creativity flourish!

Find joy and excitement in the process of finding your book's structure
as you open yourself to glimmers of inspiration
and weave them all together to evolve a Table of Contents (TOC)
that truly works for you.

Imagine the joy of writing a book from the bottom up, allowing your ideas to flow effortlessly onto the page in whatever order they come, then translating them into a TOC that reveals the bigger picture. This organic, interactive process frees you from externally imposed constraints, letting your alivenss and internal interest guide you to the next step, and the next, and the next.

Many "Aha!" moments will be sparked in you by this book's unique and compassionate mapping of the territory. And what you discover about yourself through the "Reflections" in the included Workbook will help you find your own way through the structuring (and writing) of your book.

With An Organic Approach to Structuring Your Book, you get to benefit from the expertise and guidance of a renowned author and book midwife who understands the intricacies of the writing process, and how freeing it is to trust finding your own way.

With delightful illustrations by the author.

Readers write about An Organic Approach:

“This is IMPRESSIVE! It's fabulous. You have so much to offer. May your message reach far and wide.”—Taj Inayat, Sufi Guide

"Unique and original. Very well-developed and explained. This book addresses a real issue. People who are more right-brained can struggle with writing an outline, when it may not be appropriate for them to do so. Naomi Rose is really brilliant at combining both nonlinear and cognitive intelligences — espousing a right-brain approach, but explaining it very clearly, including giving an example from her own writing. I'm very impressed!" — Ralph Dranow, author, A New Life, and (with Daniel Marlin) At work on the Garments of Refuge

"I thoroughly enjoyed this book and moved through it with ease. Seeing the author's own process illuminated this writing practice and made it all come together in a helpful way. This liberating approach offers breathing room. I didn't feel the typical resistance I've had when trying to follow other models that ultimately feel too prescriptive and rigid. Naomi Rose is offering a divine gift." — Jane Majkiewicz, writer, editor, literary agency associate emeritus

"This book is brilliant! Naomi Rose has created a beautiful and useful product, which doesn't feel generic. The artwork really works — the graphics feel fresh and inspired. I finally get the author's process when working with clients to form the Table of Contents. As I prepare to write my book, I feel this workbook will really help me." — Dana Watt

"What Naomi does superbly is to evoke the creative and articulate in each person who works with her — to such a degree that each one is surprised at his/her own talent for expression." — Gay Luce, spiritual teacher, co-founder (with Dr. Jean Houston) of the Nine Gates Mystery School

“I felt that you were speaking from the heart, seeking to be of service from the sincere desire to assist, not to indoctrinate or impress. And I felt that you and I were having a conversation. [I see now that] having a really cool idea for something to write isn't enough to get the writing started — not if there's no emotional connection, inspiration, or magical intangible animating that really cool idea. Thank you for sharing your ideas and caring with the world through a book. I learned things, I felt understood, and I grew increasingly inspired as I turned the pages."— Sarah Beaber, writer

“I'm happy to acknowledge Naomi Rose's important influence on my writing life as I have others in the past: Julia Cameron, Natalie Goldberg, and Eric Maisel, to name a few. I've since come to regard (and treasure) her as a writing mentor. Naomi Rose's writings and personal coaching sessions have imbued me with so much that I'm grateful for, transforming and alchemizing things within that have manifested as deep writing.”— Chris Dunmire, Creative Director & Publisher, Creativity Portal (included in “Writers Digest 101 best sites”)
