Write your first chapter.
Start connecting with readers.
You have a story to share—a testimony of what God has done, lessons learned, or hope you want to pass on. Join me for five practical days to shape your message into a book and begin connecting with the people your words could help.
Monday 11 – Friday 15 January 2027
Workshop: 5–6pm GMT · 12–1pm EST

THE BOOK YOU KEEP COMING BACK TO
Perhaps you have notebooks full of thoughts but no clear structure. Perhaps you know what you want to say, but fear stops you from putting it on the page. Or writing keeps slipping to the bottom of a very full life.
Bring your story, the message on your heart and a willingness to take the next step. We will work through it together.
MAKE REAL PROGRESS
This is a working workshop. Each day includes an action to complete; your progress depends on making time to apply what we cover.
11–15 JANUARY 2027 · YOUR FIVE-DAY PROGRAMME
We’ll start with the reader you are called to serve, give your message a structure and make space to write.
DAY 01 · MONDAY 11 JANUARY
What is the message within your story, and who needs it? Connect your testimony, the lessons you have learned and the change you want to help someone experience. Give your book a clear purpose and choose one realistic writing commitment.
YOUR ACTION
Write your book promise and a description of your ideal reader.
DAY 02 · TUESDAY 12 JANUARY
Map the journey from your reader’s current struggle to the hope or change your book offers. Choose the experiences, key truths and practical steps that belong in your book, then organise them into a chapter sequence you can follow.
YOUR ACTION
Create your working chapter-by-chapter outline.
DAY 03 · WEDNESDAY 13 JANUARY
Use a simple story, teaching and application structure to start your opening chapter. Connect your lived experience with something meaningful for your reader. Give yourself permission to draft before you edit.
YOUR ACTION
Draft your first chapter and schedule time to complete any unfinished sections.
DAY 04 · THURSDAY 14 JANUARY
Your message can serve people before the whole book is finished. Shape a useful part of your chapter into a short sample, reflection or practical resource that gives a future reader a reason to connect.
YOUR ACTION
Draft a reader resource and a clear invitation to receive it.
DAY 05 · FRIDAY 15 JANUARY
Map a simple path from helpful content to an email sign-up and a warm welcome. Learn how to invite people without feeling pushy and make a sustainable plan for writing and sharing your message.
YOUR ACTION
Draft your first invitation post and welcome email, and plan your next two weeks. Share your invitation once your sign-up and delivery links are ready.
YOUR HOST · MELIZA FARNDELL
I’m an author and the founder of Paper Crown Media. I help Christian authors clarify their message, develop their books and connect with the readers they want to serve.
This workshop brings together the book-planning foundations of my Born to Write Blueprint and the reader connection principles of my Kingdom Impact Masterclass.
We begin with the person you are called to serve. Then we give your message a structure, put words on the page and make a way for people to find it.
CHOOSE YOUR PLACE
Five days of practical teaching and writing. Choose the support and replay access that work for you.

Your workshop place is free. Request access with your subscriber email address.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
No. Come with an idea, a message or a story you feel called to share. You can also use the exercises to bring structure to a book you have already begun.
This workshop focuses on nonfiction, especially personal stories and testimonies. We will help you find the message within your experiences and organise it into a book that can encourage and serve your reader.
Standard includes workshop replays until 22 January 2027 at 11:59pm GMT. VIP includes lifetime workshop replay access. VIP feedback sessions take place live after each daily workshop; attend live to ask questions and request feedback.
The workshop runs 5–6pm GMT / 12–1pm EST each day, 11–15 January 2027. VIP feedback follows 6–7pm GMT / 1–2pm EST. Allow another 20–30 minutes of focused writing between sessions, or split the exercises into smaller writing blocks.
You will be guided to draft a first chapter and create a practical way to invite readers to connect. Completing the exercises is part of the process. A finished, edited chapter and a particular number of subscribers are not guaranteed.
Your workshop place is free. Use the subscriber request form with your subscriber email address so we can confirm your eligibility and included access.
