The Editor For Entrepreneurs

Position your book, captivate readers, and own your niche.

See how we can work together

Every entrepreneur has a story worth sharing.

You’ve built a successful business and have a brilliant idea for a book. Something that won’t just collect dust on a shelf. It will share your unique point of view and shape your category.

But having a story and telling it in a way that draws people in are very different. 

Really, you're not trying to “write a book.” 

You're trying to share a different approach, shift someone’s perspective, and carve out your own niche. Sometimes, you can do this by yourself. But more often, you need a second set of eyes — someone outside your industry, company, and circle — to be brutally (and compassionately) honest about your book.

  • Are your title and subtitle Obvious or Non-Obvious? 

  • Does your description draw readers in? 

  • Will people read beyond the first page?

You want to confidently answer “yes” to these questions before publishing.

Writing a book you’re proud to publish is more than putting words onto the page. It’s about making sure those words get people’s attention, say something no one else has said, and, well, actually get read.

At the end of the day, all authors want to do one thing:

Tell a meaningful story that makes a difference.

Books are the most powerful way to present your unique point of view.

Coming up with a unique, compelling point of view (POV) is only 50% of the game. The other 50%, which almost never gets talked about, is how to come up with ideas that scale.

When positioning your book, you have to decide which of the 7 best-selling, most scalable categories you’re going to play in.

  1. Personal Development

  2. Personal Finance

  3. Insights/Thinking

  4. Leadership

  5. Case Study/Allegory

  6. Functional Excellence

  7. Relationships

You want to have perfect clarity around what type of book you’re writing and why.

This determines whether readers 1) buy your book and devour it, 2) buy your book and don’t read it, or 3) don’t buy your book at all.

3 ways we can collaborate:

1.

Elevate your book before publishing

Get your manuscript ready for readers by sharpening the title, introduction, structure, positioning, and more.

2.

Brainstorm your book idea before writing

Make sure your book’s positioning is on point before you spend months (and many weekends) writing it.

3.

Tell your story to 31,000+ readers

Have you designed a new and different category of business? As a Category Pirates co-author, I always look for stories to share.
