A Love Letter...
🎤 Audio Script:
*”Hey there, it’s Janine! I see you—you’ve got a book in you, and I know the wild ride that comes with making it real.
That’s why I’ve built three paths for you, depending on where you are in your journey. Want to figure it out solo? Go for it—I’ve got a book for you. Need some accountability and community? We’ve got coffee, coaching, and a team of writers walking this path with you. Ready to turn your book into an income-generating, business-building powerhouse? Ohhh, we’re going ALL IN.
Whatever your path, I’ve got your back. Take a look around, pick your adventure, and let’s make your book happen.”
Terrified Tanya is based on every writer I have guided through the process of writing a book. Having written books (22+) since 2005. Having had 4 different publishers and working with book agents, I understand the challenges, changes and crisis that the writer-turned-author pathway entails. Pick your journey below and let’s get you writing!
I Just Want Tanya's Book
Want to go solo?
That’s cool! You’ll figure it out… eventually (might take a decade and a pile of cash, though).
If you love the scenic route with a few breakdowns along the way, grab the book and get cracking!
But hey—don’t say I didn’t invite you to OPEN Friday Coffee.
I Want to Write My Book
Ready to stop talking about writing and actually get the dang book DONE?
Awesome.
Here’s what you get:
- Tanya’s book for inspiration,
- coffee chats with me (because writers thrive on caffeine and community),
- twice-a-month coaching so you don’t stall out, and
- a community that keeps you moving forward.
No lonely writer blues here!
I Want to be Profitable
“You’ve got the book—or you’re writing it—but now it’s time to make that thing WORK for you.
Let’s skip the ‘throw spaghetti at the wall’ phase and get you straight to what actually works.
Here’s what you get:
- My book Published Profitability, unlimited coffee chats (bring your own mug),
- twice-a-month coaching, The Write Habit community,
- early bird writing sessions (because accountability makes magic happen),
- media prep,
- podcast interviews, and
- all the shortcuts I wish I had 20 years ago.
No fluff, just results.”
A Love Letter to Every Tanya
I have met Tanya many times before.
She has walked into my workshops with hopeful eyes and shaking hands.
She has sent me late-night emails that begin with “I don’t think I’m good enough…”
She has spoken in hushed tones about a book she’s always dreamed of writing but has never been brave enough to start.
Tanya is not just one person.
She is every writer who has ever doubted themselves.
She is every dreamer who has ever silenced their own voice.
She is every person who has ever thought, ‘Who am I to do this?’
And if you see yourself in her, then this book is for you.
Why this Story is Told in Tanya’s Words
When I first met “Tanya,” she didn’t believe in herself.
She believed in books. She believed in stories.
She believed in other writers—but never in herself.
I watched her wrestle with doubt.
I watched her start and stop and start again.
I watched her bravely take one step, then another, then another.
And I want you to see it, too.
This book isn’t a list of advice.
It isn’t a guide full of rules and steps and strategies.
It is a journey.
A journey of fear. A journey of self-doubt. A journey of breaking through.
And it is told through Tanya’s eyes—because I want you to feel it the way she did.
I want you to hear the voice in her head—the one that told her to quit.
I want you to feel the hesitation in her hands when she almost didn’t hit “publish.”
I want you to know what it’s like to hold your book for the first time and wonder,
“Did I really do this?
Am I really an author now?”
