Business Book Writing Adviser & Self-Publishing Program

Write, self-publish, and market a business book with experienced advisory oversight.

For executives and business leaders who want a credible book, and a clear pathway from idea to launch.

BOOK YOUR CONSULTATION

A business book is not just a manuscript.

It's a strategic asset.

35It can strengthen your authority, clarify your thinking, support your speaking and consulting work, and move you beyond one-to-one conversations into wider influence. Or, if handled poorly, it can dilute your message and waste time and money.

Most leaders begin in the wrong place. They sit down and start writing.

The right place to begin is with thinking.

  • Who is the book for?
  • What are their real challenges?
  • What part of your knowledge is most valuable to them?
  • What does the book need to achieve in your business?

The Business Book Writing Adviser Program is designed to guide that thinking before the writing begins, and then to support you through every stage of the writing, self-publishing, and marketing process.

This is not a course. It is not generic content. It is structured, one-to-one advisory work built on more than 35 years of experience in publishing and business storytelling.

Proof in Action

Working with Jaqui was a game-changer, she guided me through self-publishing with ease and, crucially, showed me how to market my book to get real traction. Her expertise played a key role in the book gaining momentum, leading to website, podcast and now speaking, and eventually being picked up by a major publisher after winning a national award. Can’t thank her enough for her mentoring, as well as her ongoing support.

MARC BINEHAM

It was great having Jaqui as a coach running alongside me to help unpack the ‘mysteries’ of the entire process and, ultimately, provide me with the confidence and greater self-accountability I needed to succeed. It’ a great feeling when you get the final product in your hands, and it has helped in attracting and engaging with readers and future clients.

Who This Is For

This program is designed for leaders who have earned their experience and want to share it responsibly.

It is suited to:

  • CEOs and founders
  • Senior executives and general managers
  • Company directors and governance leaders
  • Professional services principals
  • Industry experts and speakers

These are people who have been in business long enough to know that reputation matters.

It is not for memoir writers, hobby authors, or those looking for a quick publishing shortcut.

Why Work With a Business Book Writing Adviser?

In business, an adviser carries responsibility.

An adviser helps you make decisions that have long-term consequences. They see the whole picture. They help you avoid costly mistakes.

Writing a business book involves dozens of decisions: about positioning, audience, structure, design, publishing pathways, marketing, copyright, distribution, and cost. Most first-time authors don’t know which decisions matter most until they have already made them.

Jaqui Lane works as a Business Book Writing Adviser.

She does not write the book for you.

She does not simply edit a finished manuscript.

She does not leave you alone to navigate publishing platforms and production decisions.

She works alongside you from idea to launch, bringing judgment, structure, industry knowledge, and practical experience to every stage of the process.

Jaqui has guided more than 150 executives through the creation and publication of their business books. She understands what works, what doesn’t, and where most authors lose time and money.

What You Can Expect From Your Book Writing Journey

The Business Book Writing Adviser Program follows a clear 8-step pathway (typical 12 months), designed to guide you from initial idea through to publication and beyond. Each step builds logically on the one before it, defining your audience, clarifying your message, shaping your structure, and preparing your marketing early. You are never left guessing what comes next. The process is organised, strategic, and paced to fit around your professional commitments, so your book moves forward with purpose and momentum.

Steps 1 & 2: Clarity and Direction

Before you write, we define:

The goals and objectives of your book

Your primary target audiences

The key messages and positioning

Your compelling story arc

A practical schedule and budget

This is where the book becomes clear. You leave this stage with a structured outline and a defined pathway, not a blank page.

Step 3: Marketing Starts Early

Most people think about marketing after the book is finished. That is too late.

We develop your Content Marketing and Leverage Plan while you are writing. This ensures you begin building visibility, authority, and anticipation before publication.

Your book becomes part of your broader business strategy, not an isolated project.

Steps 4–6: Professional Self-Publishing

These steps cover the mechanics that protect quality:

Editing and proofreading

Design and internal layout

Book cover development

ISBN and publishing options

Printing and distribution decisions

Platform considerations and costs

This is where many authors cut corners. It shows.
Your book must look and read like something you would confidently present in front of clients, boards, or conference audiences.

Steps 7 & 8: Launch and Leverage

Writing the book is only half the process.

The final steps focus on launching and leveraging your book — before, during, and after release — so it supports your broader professional goals.

This includes structured marketing activity and practical guidance on how to use the book to strengthen your authority, business development, and recognition.

Jaqui not only managed the project with high integrity and conviction, but also brought some valuable thought leadership on what are very difficult topics. I highly recommend Jaqui’s authentic, professional approach to book publishing, including content, marketing and quality.

Common Mistakes This Program Prevents

Most business books fail quietly for predictable reasons:

The author starts writing without defining the audience.

The structure is unclear.

The marketing is left too late.

Production decisions are made without understanding long-term implications.

Costs are underestimated.

This program exists to prevent those outcomes.
