Course Description

You are closer to your first book than you think...

  • Do you need to write a non-fiction book to support your business, authority, eminence, or reputation?

  • Or are you just burning to get your ideas in print?

Either way, you are one of the vast numbers of people who want to write their first book.

And the good news is that writing a book has never been easier.

It's not just the revolution in publishing and technology that has transformed your ability to get your thinking out to a readership. The tools are now easily and cheaply available to make the writing process quicker and easier, too.

Hi, I'm Dr Mike Clayton

I have written 14 books that have been published by international mainstream publishers like Macmillan, Pearson, and Wiley. My books have been translated into 11 additional languages and are licensed all over the world. I've also written ebooks to commission and self-published my own ebooks.

So, I do know what I am doing, and I have a method that makes it easy.

It's called the Flat Plan Method, and in this course, I'll share it with you.

It isn't the only way to write a book. And it won't suit everyone. But I am sure that, if you follow it, you'll find writing your first non-fiction book easier than you ever thought.

So, why not get started?

If your goal is to become a non-fiction author and write a book is your goal, then start here.
