Write Your Damn Book!
Get That Book Out Of Your Head and into the Hearts and Minds of Readers in 30 days.
Almost everyone I meet wants to write a book. In fact, according to a NYTimes survey almost 81% of people think they have a book in them.
The trouble is 95% of them will never actually write, let alone publish it. And that's a real shame.
However writing a book will likely be the most rewarding undertaking of your life.
If you have been sitting on the 'idea' of a book you want to write for....oh you know, YEARS, isn't it about time you write the damn thing?
Isn't it time to dust off the covers - literally, get out that half written manuscript, or those post it notes where you scattered your grand designs for that novel,?
Or open that Moleskin notebook that contains your deepest secrets, and get that book out of your damn head, and into the hands of people who should be reading it already!
Or take your childhood dream to be a published writer and turn someday into a week or month from now?
The answer is YES! If you’ve been waiting for a chance to get started, then this is it.
This self paced course and guided email series will help you write your book in as little as 30 days.
As well as how to market your book while writing it, which is key to the success of it - trust me!
What will you learn and apply in my Write Your Damn Book course?
About Your Writing Buddy, Natalie...
Hi. I’m Natalie Sisson, an Online Business Strategist, Author, Speaker, Podcaster, Teacher and lover of handstands.
It took me four years of 'thinking about writing' my first book, The Suitcase Entrepreneur, and just three months to write it.
When I did, thanks to marketing my book as I wrote it, it became a No#1 Bestseller in not one, but three Amazon categories!
To date it has sold more than 35,000 copies and has received 300+ 5-star reviews on Amazon.
As a self-published author that makes me extremely proud.
Four years later this same self-published, crowdfunded book, got picked up by a Big Five Publisher and I got a 5 figure contract for the 3rd Edition!
So I know how powerful writing a book can be for you personally and professionally.
But, here’s the cold hard truth… I almost burned out in 2013 going through the whole process from writing, marketing and publishing my damn book.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved every moment of it.
It also led to me writing my second No #1 Bestselling book, The Freedom Plan in 2018, with $10,000 in pre-sales thanks to crowdfunding.
Both these books have opened so many doors for me, as I know they can for you, like international paid speaking gigs, creating and launching my six figures online course, a huge growth in my community, credibility and confidence.
They also bring in weekly ongoing sales without any effort from to promote them.
My superpower is bringing fantastic people together to support each other in this learning, while I crack the whip (in a loving and supportive way) to get you past your own roadblocks so you take massive action.
I've designed this guided self-study and writing experience to give you the confidence to believe that you are more than capable of writing your damb book.
Come with me and take tiny steps yet big leaps towards writing, marketing and pre-selling your book!

Natalie created a great routine and environment to focus on my book and to learn from others on their writing journey. I can’t believe I wrote my leadership book! With her check ins, support, and practical tips, I was motivated to keep going and write my damn book! Thanks Natalie!
Rachel Ann Harding
Professional Storyteller & Musician
I really appreciated being part of your course, especially the daily commitment to turn up and write. I was able to write at least every day for 60 days! It kept me focused on finishing my book and I have a clearer path ahead to build buzz and launch this book! I better understand now that writing a few books a year can be a real career and provide streams of income for the life I want.
Donna Ghaemaghamy
Proven Younger Founder
Write The Damn Book was a great program to get me focussed on putting time aside to write MY damn book! I wrote 30,000 words and feel like I'm getting closer to a finished project. I quickly worked out what worked best for me - larger chunk times instead of daily 30mins and I committed to twice a week. The set times for writing sessions and Natalie’s email accountability pulled me into, being accountable with my time too.
Dr. Claudia Gross

Write The Damn Book has been an effective way for me to write the final chapter of my book and get it finished, two years after starting it.

I am so grateful that I started this journey with Natalie. After making a goal in February to start my book, this course was exactly what I needed, when I needed it. I learnt so much about the process after writing your book, including editing, copywriting and the different design options. The fireside chats (author interviews) were just the right amount of valuable information. Thanks Natalie, it was great to learn from you and make a start on my book journey too.
Alina Siegfried
Impact Storyteller, Narrative Strategist and Spoker Word Artist
Write The Damn Book helped me gain a lot of clarity on my writing process and publishing options, and I was inspired to write almost 30,000 words of my manuscript over the 60 days! I really enjoyed the expert author interviews and being supported by Natalie.
Abby
I am consistently inconsistent, and being part of the Write the Damn Book course supported me to commit to my writing. I loved the weekly encouragement, videos, and resources. I was not as consistent as I would have liked, but you were Natalie, which made me want to keep up with you! Thanks for the push to succeed!
Michael Burns
Writer & Consultant
I'm so grateful that I joined Write the Damn Book. It gave me the kickstart I needed to outline, research and begin writing the book I've been dreaming about for a long time. Natalie gave me lots of invaluable information that will make the publishing and marketing journey easier. Overall, I found the experience fun, supportive, informative, and inspirational. Thanks Natalie!
Michelle Prior
Founder DinnerPlay
Natalie’s program was a fantastic way to kickstart writing my novel. Writing is usually a solitary endeavour, so the accountability was wonderful. Plus I picked up a lot of tips on going beyond the book. I commenced a weekly writing schedule, transferred my work to Scrivener, formed the outline, developed the characters, wrote several thousand words and am well on my way to writing my damn book.
Jo Bendle
Empowerment Coach at Jobendle.com
It was lovely getting inspired by my book again. After avoiding it for so long I got re-connected and excited about its purpose, the content and the message it's here to share. I loved the author interviews and also all of the touchpoints kept reminding me, in a good way, that I really want to write this book and that I have to find a way to prioritise it.’
