00:00
Thank you so much for being interested in the premium one on one mentorship.
00:03
I've worked on this program for a very long time.
00:06
I'm super excited about it.
00:07
So let's dive right in and get started.
00:10
so this is the promise of the program.
00:12
If you've always dreamed of writing a novel and you finally have the time and space to pursue it, but you're stuck, or overwhelmed by contradictory advice and secretly wondering if your story idea is even worth the months of work it will take to write, this might be exactly what you've been looking for.
00:29
This is exactly what I went through when I first started this self publishing journey.
00:34
Lots of doubt, lots of mistakes, whether that's time, wasted time, waste of money, wasted mental space.
00:41
And I've put together a program that helps you solve all, all of that based on my, you know, just my experience, and not just my own experience, but also working with other mentees, you know, running workshops, attending classes, courses.
00:57
All of it is in this program.
01:00
so why listen to me again?
01:02
My name is Yang and I've spent over 10 years teaching creative writing, including at the Beijing Film Academy.
01:08
I've worked as a screenwriter, story consultant, script doctor and writing coach.
01:13
I have two master's degrees in screenwriting, one from the American Film Institute and one from the Beijing Film Academy.
01:20
Now I work full time as a self published author and mentor, helping writers do what I've done, which is turn the dream of someday I'll write a book into actual published novels with real readers.
01:34
I've worked with a dozen writers so far and I've learned this like the biggest thing holding most people back isn't talent or time, but it's clarity.
01:44
They don't know if their idea will work.
01:46
They don't know if they're on the right track.
01:48
They're consumed by so much contradictory advice that it's paralyzing.
01:53
And this is exactly what I want to help with.
01:56
So who I work with I work with aspiring fiction writers writing in all genres from romance, mystery, suspense, thriller, sci fi, fantasy, horror, historical fiction, you name it.
02:08
So most of the writers I work with have a few things in common.
02:11
They've carried this dream for years, sometimes decades.
02:15
But you know, life got busy.
02:17
Career, family, responsibilities.
02:20
The writing dream always kept getting pushed to later or someday, But now something has shifted.
02:26
Maybe they have more time, more flexibility in their schedule.
02:29
Maybe they've reached a point in their life where they are ready to finally pursue something meaningful for themselves.
02:35
And maybe they're just tired of waiting.
02:38
They've usually already started something, a manuscript or, like, an idea they can't stop thinking about, but they're stuck.
02:44
They've watched YouTube videos with contradictory advice.
02:47
They.
02:47
They're.
02:48
They've read tons of books on craft, maybe on publishing, and it makes sense in theory, but it didn't help with their specific story or their specific situation.
02:57
And this all results in them feeling isolated because the people in their lives are supportive in theory, but they just don't get it.
03:05
And you know, underneath it all this is nagging question.
03:08
Is my idea even any good?
03:11
Am I any good?
03:12
Am I wasting my time and my money on something that will never work?
03:16
If this sounds at all familiar, then you are exactly the person that I want to help.
03:22
who this is not for.
03:23
I want to be direct about who this doesn't work for.
03:27
If you're looking for a shortcut, some write a book in the weekend, Promise.
03:31
This isn't it.
03:32
Writing a good novel takes time.
03:35
If you're not willing to receive honest feedback and actually do revisions, then we're not going to work well together.
03:42
If you think commercial fiction is somehow lesser than literary fiction, you'll be.
03:47
You're going to be frustrated.
03:48
I take romance, thriller, fantasy seriously as legitimate art forms.
03:53
And if you want AI to write your book for you, then, yeah, you.
03:57
Then this is not the place for you.
03:59
I work with people who are ready to do the work.
04:01
And if that's you, then keep listening.
04:04
So here is what I want you to understand.
04:05
The single biggest thing I can give you isn't a course or a curriculum.
04:10
It's Clarity.
04:12
Clarity on whether your idea is commercially viable.
04:15
Clarity on where it fits in the market.
04:17
Clarity on the exact path from where you are now to a finished, published novel that readers actually want to buy.
04:26
And this is why I'm offering this free strategy call.
04:29
I want to be clear about what happens on this call, because it's really not a sales pitch disguised as a conversation.
04:36
There's going to be value in here whether you decide to work with me or not.
04:40
So here's what we're going to do on this call.
04:42
First, we're going to talk about your book idea or manuscript.
04:45
If you already started.
04:47
I want to understand what you're trying to create, what excites you about it, and where you're getting stuck.
04:53
Then this is the most important part.
04:55
I'll, analyze your idea from a market perspective using real data.
05:00
Where does it fit in the Amazon marketplace?
05:03
What's the competitive landscape in your genre or subgenre?
05:08
Is there an audience for this book?
05:09
And how big is it?
05:11
These are all important fundamental questions that we need to ask or get the answer to before you continue.
05:18
Further, if your idea is strong, I'll tell you.
05:21
If there are tweaks or adjustments that can make it more commercially viable without compromising the story you want to tell, I'll walk you through exactly what those are.
05:31
And by the end of the call, you'll have a clear roadmap.
05:34
You'll know exactly whether your idea has legs, you'll understand how to position your book for success, and you'll know exactly what steps to take next.
05:43
And that's yours to keep, regardless of your decision to work with me or not.
05:48
But if working together makes sense, if you want my guidance and feedback throughout the entire journey from idea to published book and beyond, I'll explain what that looks like and what the investment is, and then you can decide if it's right for you.
06:04
But like I said, even if you decide not to work with me, you'll leave the call with more clarity than you've ever had about your book and your path forward.
06:12
And that is a promise.
06:14
So why does this approach Work because it's different than anything you've ever tried.
06:18
I teach both craft and business together.
06:22
Most writing programs teach one or the other.
06:24
I teach you how to write good books that readers love, and understand how to publish them and market them.
06:31
Because a great book that nobody finds is just as frustrating as a bad book that doesn't sell.
06:37

06:48
