Most people start writing a book without knowing how they want it to end, and that’s why most books never get finished.

Imagine knowing exactly where your story or message will land before you even write the first sentence. Writing with the end in mind not only gives your book direction, but also keeps your readers engaged and satisfied. Whether you dream of writing a modern parable or a practical how-to guide, this method shapes every page with purpose.

It’s the secret Laurie-Ann Murabito used to create her Amazon bestsellers Rethink Leadership and Rethink Your Leadership. Discover why it’s crucial to chart the final chapter first, even if you’re doubting your writing ability. Walk away with a clear road map that will keep you moving from blank page to published author.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • The power of starting with your last chapter, so you don’t lose sight of your book’s ultimate message and direction
  • How to reverse engineer your chapters, so every step leads your reader exactly where you want them to go
  • The art of “writing for the reader,” so your book becomes their favorite and not just another unfinished project
  • Ways to make your book your best marketing tool, so you attract clients, opportunities, and clout
  • How to handle writing fears and self-doubt, so you push through and actually finish your book

Write with intention and turn your ideas into a book people can’t put down.
