The Spotlight Book
Authority | Credibility | Opportunity.
Your story deserves more than a business card.
Amplified Connection.
You already have a book inside you. It's in the stories you tell every time you network, speak, or pitch yourself. The Spotlight Book pulls those stories out and shapes them into a finished, professional micro-book: an 8x8, roughly 50-page narrative built around the why behind your work. Part story and part credential The Spotlight Book is designed to be read cover to cover in about twenty minutes. Every author is guided through the writing and editing process, so what lands in your hands truly spotlights YOU.
Speakers tuck them into sponsorship swag bags. Coaches hand them to prospective clients after a discovery call. Entrepreneurs sell copies at events or gift them to the people they most want to impress. A book with your name on the cover builds authority, adds credibility to what you say, and opens doors that a website or social profile can't. This process is built on the same process developed through WHEN Stories™ over the past six months, with results that include signed clients, booked speaking gigs, and sponsorship deals.

What People Are Saying
-
"I gave some away and sold some others. One person I gave a copy to said she wants to have me on air with her the next time she talks about the topic close to my story. She said she loved my story and wants to know more."

-
Any photos you have will work. Since the stories in your book come from your personal experience, some photos might come from childhood or other pivotal moments in your life. Some people also choose to include infographics or other types of images.
A high-quality professional headshot or action shot works best for the cover. No matter which photos you use, always make sure you have permission to use any images that you did not create yourself.
-
The finished product is a printed micro-book combining your story with photos, context and contact information, ready to hand out at events, tuck into swag bags or gift to people you want to impress.

That's exactly what the guided prompts are for. The questions are specific and relate to the stories you're already telling at networking events, when pitching yourself or your business, or even among family and friends. You already know the story you want to tell, and this process helps you expand it into something more.
-
Yes! That’s part of the whole point!
Client stories provide valuable content and context for your work. Some prompts are designed to draw out these exact moments of real client transformation and the deeper meaning behind what you do.
If you use actual names or personal details from others, always make sure you have their permission first.

The cost per book varies depending on the length, size and quality. An 8.5' x 8.5' paperback book with around 50 pages will usually run between $4-$7 per copy. A hardcover could be up to $15 per book. Many authors will sell their paperbacks for $10-$15 each or hardcovers for $20-$25 to recover their investment.
Many of high quality promotional items from your local print shop would be comparable in price to the paperbacks, and be honest, who really needs another pen, lip balm or plastic phone stand?
-
Nope! Order one copy for your grandma or one thousand for the next big conference you're keynoting. Whatever the moment calls for.
-
This is 100% a real book. Its short length actually works in your favor, since it holds attention in a way that longer books don't.
Many business and personal development books repeat familiar advice, while the Spotlight Book highlights your unique frameworks and the transformation you provide. It also showcases you and your story, building a deeper connection with prospects and partners in a way that feels natural, not self-promotional.
If you want your book published for wider distribution, too, that is an option to add on.
-
Much like tattoos and babies, once you get a taste of having your own book in your hand, you might find yourself eager to publish another.
