Where do you begin when writing a book? In this episode of the Book Magic Podcast, I’ll walk you through the first 5 steps that every aspiring author needs to take so you can move from “someday” to starting today.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

  1. Clarify your dream reader – Know exactly who you’re writing for.
  2. Gather your wisdom – Collect your scattered notes in one place.
  3. Choose your container – Pick a simple tool and stick with it.
  4. Create a writing rhythm – Build small, consistent habits that flow.
  5. Test your idea – Share pieces with your audience and get feedback.

By the end, you’ll feel more comfortable, confident, and clear on how to begin your book journey.
