Overcoming Imposter Syndrome for Writers

Overcoming Procrastination:

Creative Strategies for Creative Avoiders

"I found Dr. Anne Bartolucci's course on procrastination very helpful! It was really eye opening to identify why I distract/procrastinate and the fears that lead me to do so. I really appreciate the self-reflection exercises! I highly recommend, particularly for those working on any sort of creative project or who wish to start a creative project."

–Claire LaBriola

Therapist & Aspiring Author

“I recently had the pleasure of hosting a webinar for my team with Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., a USA Today bestselling author and psychologist, on how to write a book. She was easy to understand, empathetic, and encouraging. I particularly enjoyed the timed segments to get down on paper answers to her questions and then share what we wrote. In her workshop, Anne provided insightful strategies to generate or clarify book ideas that align with our passions and expertise, ensuring we remain engaged throughout the writing process. Thank you so much, Anne, for this incredible opportunity. I look forward to implementing all the valuable insights you provided.”

–Dr. Cliffton Brady

Start Your Book Challenge

If you’re looking to start with a program that’s more substantial but still lower cost, you may be ready for a Start Your Book Challenge. This is three hours of interactive teaching split over three days plus an optional Q&A. You’ll have both in-class exercises and homework to make sure that by the end of the challenge, you’re ready to move forward with your book and will have the tools you need when you encounter the inevitable stumbling blocks that get in the way.

Next Challenge: March 31 through April 8, 2025

“I absolutely loved the challenge! It was very professionally done, and I learned a tremendous amount. Anne has inspired me to finally start writing consistently and make progress on the book that I had put off for years. You offer so much value–thank you Anne!”

–Justin Speller

Healer and Coach

“I didn't know Anne before this and after the challenge, I felt like I found a long lost friend. She's a great combination of knowledge, patience and humor. I know other people who offer services similar to Anne, and after taking this challenge, I know I'll work with her over anyone else.”

Finish Your book Outline

Create Your Marketing Plan

In this eight-week small group cohort program, you’ll go from book idea to a strong foundation for both writing and publishing it, all in a way that brings in the magic of the ancient art of storytelling. You’ll also have the option of using some magical tools to help you craft your book and work through the author-reader relationship so that you’ll be writing not for a faceless mass, but for the individual your heart seeks to help.

By the end of this course you’ll have:

A book outline

A marketing plan and the start of your platform

A first chapter

A writing habit, or at minimum, the knowledge you need to create one

If you’re planning to publish traditionally, all of the above are essentially a book proposal minus two more chapters (for a total of three chapters).

If independent publishing is more consistent with your personal vision and values, you’ll have a clear roadmap for how to move forward.

Don’t know which path is yours yet? No problem! That’s why I’m here, to guide you through these decisions so you choose the best fork in the road to help you reach your desired writing destination. Book a call to see if you’re a good fit for the program and if it’s a good fit for you.

Establish Your Writing Habit

“Before I took Anne's accelerator, I was unsure about writing my book. Now that I've completed it, I feel confident about sharing my story with the world. Anne's guidance helped me unlock my unique voice and passion for my topic. If you're a fellow creative seeking clarity and momentum, don't hesitate. Anne's accelerator is a transformative investment in your writing journey.”

–Kyra Faison-Gardner

Women's Coach

“Taking Anne's writing accelerator was so helpful to the progress of writing my book. Not only did the course include information that would have taken me years to learn alone, but the encouragement and feedback provided really helped break a deadlock I was dealing with in writing the essential first chapter. The exercises helped me clarify a vision and outline for the book, as well as build skills for marketing and consider publication options. This was invaluable, and now that I have completed the course I really believe that I am 1-2 years closer to finishing the book, all in just 8 weeks!”

FAQ

Can writing a book help me build my business or work more effectively with my clients?

Yes, writing a book can definitely help you build your business by giving people a way to check you out. And once your book is out in the world, people will find it and reach out to you. It also shows that you’ve explored your field and yourself in a deep way that you can use to help your clients.

I love it when someone comes in or appears on screen with a dog-eared, highlighted, sticky-noted copy of one of my nonfiction books.

Plus, if they’ve read my book, we can start working together and get to the more powerful methods and concepts more quickly because I don’t have to spend so much time on the basics.

How does writing a book help me be a better coach/provider/healer?

When you write a book about the area you work in, you connecting with your business in a different way by:

Giving you a deeper understanding of what you do and why. Nothing makes you learn something like really digging into it so you can expand it and explain it to others.

In fact, one of the attendees of the Spring 2024 challenge said that the process of writing her book was helping her be a better provider as she wrote it.

Helping you seek out and integrate new research in your area. We all say we want to keep up with cutting edge developments and new trends, but it’s hard to find the time. When you write a book, you have a compelling reason to do so.

There are a lot of writing coaches out there. What makes you different?

I don’t really call myself a “writing coach” because I don’t push my consultees to succeed. Instead, I mentor and guide them. I don’t push my clients, I put my (figurative) arm around them and guide them.

I’m also unique for several other reasons:

First, I have the training and experience as a Ph.D.-level psychologist. This gives me a greater depth and breadth of tactics and strategies to share with my writing mentees to help them connect with readers and get unstuck. I also know how important it is to work with one’s unique brain and values and how to incorporate those into the process to stay engaged.

Second, I’ve written 20+ books while also having a job and a half (running my own private practice), so I’ve been around the writer’s block more than once and know how to get through it. I also appreciate that the writing process for each book can be different, so I help people build flexibility into their systems.

Finally, as a fiction and nonfiction author, I’ve got an exceptional grasp of narrative structure and how to apply it to both so even nonfiction writers can use this most powerful way to connect with readers and keep them engaged.

Can writing a book help me with my speaking career or land more podcast interviews?

Absolutely! Having published a book lets podcast hosts and speaking gig organizers know that:

You’re an expert who’s passionate about learning and synthesizing current theories and research.

You can translate complex ideas into easy-to-understand and entertaining language.

You’re passionate about helping others by sharing your knowledge in a wider sphere.
