“If you have an idea for a book but no idea where to start – the Blueprint process gets you over the first giant jump!”
“Before working with Allegra, I knew I wanted to write a book to go along with my keynote talks – but I was struggling with where to start. The Blueprint process was super helpful in helping me lay out my ideas in a logical order and really think them through. Now I feel much better and confident to start writing my book, thanks to the detailed outline we created together. I really appreciate the wisdom and great ideas that Allegra brought to the process.”

Does this sound like you?
You’re ready to write your nonfiction book – but you’re stuck or not sure where to start.
Maybe you:
Have lots of ideas but don’t know how to structure them or where to begin {hello, paralysis!}.
Got halfway through writing your manuscript and now feel overwhelmed trying to find your way to the finish.
Wonder if your book idea is unique or how to differentiate it in the marketplace.
The way to blast through these challenges (and avoid them in the first place) is to focus on your book’s Blueprint.
Your Blueprint is the foundational work that sets your book up for success from the beginning.
It’s where you map out your story, reader transformation, positioning, and more – long before you ever put words to paper.
When you nail the Blueprint first, the writing process becomes simple – because you start from a proven plan instead of a blank page.
What is the Blueprint exactly?
This process is much more than a table of contents alone.
The Blueprint is a proven formula to strategically lay out your book’s narrative and position it to stand out in a crowded marketplace.
Together, we’ll build your book’s foundation through:
Book Goals – Uncovering your internal and external business goals, including which publishing path is right for you.
Key Elements – Defining your book idea, core message, ideal reader, marketplace fit, and more.
Chapter Outline – How each chapter fits into the narrative to drive readers through the transformation.
Doing this work alongside an editorial expert saves you months of frustration, accelerates your writing process, and ensures your book actually supports your larger business goals.
What that means to you is that you will have the best chance possible of landing a traditional publishing deal or self-publishing a bestseller yourself.
Sound like what you need? Then I can’t wait to introduce you to…

WHAT’S INCLUDED
You’ll come away from The Blueprint process with:
Completed Book Map + Outline
You work through a custom editorial process and workbook designed to help you organize and structure each part of your nonfiction book blueprint with confidence.
This Book Blueprint includes 14 key strategic areas including your book idea, message, audience, market positioning, chapter outlines, book jacket copy, and more.
Edited Sample Chapters
Using a unique chapter template, you’ll draft two sample chapters, then receive in-depth editorial feedback—including margin comments, an editorial letter, and a 1:1 video call.

1:1 Zoom + Editorial Support

HERE’S HOW
The 3-Phase Process Unfolds:
Over the course of three milestones, we’ll turn your book idea into a clear, compelling structure and polished sample chapters. You’ll work through the 14 strategic steps of the Blueprint Workbook and draft two sample chapters, receiving personalized editorial feedback at each checkpoint.
At every stage, you receive:
Detailed margin comments to sharpen your ideas
An editorial letter outlining your next steps
A 1:1 video call to talk through insights and strategy
Each phase builds on the last to help you gain clarity and momentum as your book takes shape. Below is an overview of what we’ll cover in each of the three phases.
Phase 1: Foundations
Weeks 1-2
What We Cover:
Goals + Publishing Path — Identify how your book will grow your business and determine whether traditional or self-publishing is the best fit.
Core Message — Pinpoint the heart of your book: what you most want to say and why it matters to your reader.
Ideal Reader — Define exactly who you’re writing for so every chapter connects to their transformation.
You’ll come away with: Crystal-clear clarity on your book’s purpose, audience, and publishing direction so you know exactly who you’re writing to and how to reach them.
Phase 2: Structure + Outline
Weeks 3-4
What We Cover:
Structure — Decide on the prototype and structure that works best for your book.
Marketplace Positioning — Define what makes your book different and where it fits within your genre and audience expectations.
Table of Contents — Develop a cohesive chapter outline that emphasizes narrative drive (how you keep the readers moving through the pages).
You’ll come away with: A clear, strategic outline that transforms your big idea into a well-structured book framework—ready to pitch to agents or begin drafting.
Phase 3: Sample Chapters
Weeks 5-6
What We Cover:
Writing — You draft two sample chapters that bring your ideas to life and demonstrate your voice and authority.
Editorial Feedback — Receive in-depth margin comments, an editorial letter, and a 1:1 call to refine your writing and strengthen your narrative flow.
Next Steps — Develop a clear action plan for finishing your manuscript or preparing your book proposal.
You’ll come away with: Edited samples that either become part of your book proposal (for traditional publishing) or serve as the launchpad for writing your manuscript if you’re self-publishing.

Meet Your Book CoachHi! I’m Allegra
When I was ghostwriting business books for entrepreneurs, I experienced first-hand how hard it is to go through the massive process of writing a book alone.
Even as an experienced writer, I wished I had an editorial expert in my corner to double-check my strategy and structure, edit my writing, and keep me accountable.
This got me thinking about entrepreneurs like you who want to write your book yourself – but you’re missing the guidance to drive you forward.
That’s how The Nonfiction Book Blueprint was born.
This proven system combines a clear writing formula, 1:1 coaching, and professional editorial feedback to help you confidently write a book that reaches readers, lands in the marketplace, and drives your business forward.
With my help, you’re only a few months away from launching your brand-building book.
LET’S MAKE SURE WE’RE THE RIGHT FIT
Who is The Nonfiction Book Blueprint For?
You’re an entrepreneur who knows that a quality business book would help you reach the next level of authority, impact, and revenue in your business. Maybe you’re a:
Keynote speaker who wants your book to funnel event audiences into your coaching offers (and help you command higher speaking fees).
Executive coach ready to expand your credibility in corporate circles (so bigger clients come to you for implementation).
Nonprofit founder who wants your book to help philanthropists and investors see the value in your mission (and donate to help you expand your impact).
…and you want to do it right from the start, with a clear process and expert editorial guidance behind you.
The Blueprint is Not For You If:
❌ You want someone else to write your book for you (a ghostwriter would be better suited for your needs).
❌ You’re not ready to commit time and energy to thinking deeply about your book’s core message, audience, and book goals.
❌ You’re writing fiction or memoir (while I love this type of book, my approach specializes in prescriptive nonfiction).
❌ You don’t see the ROI in expert editorial support and prefer to figure it out alone — even if it means delaying your book’s success.
The Blueprint is For You If:
✅ You want to write your book yourself – but with expert guidance and support through the process.
✅ You’re willing to put in the time, intention, and work to bring your ideas to life (this process is projected to take you about 30-40 hours to complete).
✅ You’re writing a prescriptive nonfiction book such as a business, wellness, leadership, or self-help book
✅ You see a book and the support to create it as a smart investment in your business that will bring in revenue and right-fit clients when done right.

A final note from Allegra
Has your book idea been on your heart for years?
Maybe you’ve carried it through seasons of growth, busyness, doubt, and put it off for “someday.”
The longer you delay, the longer your readers, clients, or community go without the message you’re meant to share.
Your book is the key that unlocks your next level — whether you want to raise your rates, reach new audiences, or leave a legacy.
The first step to writing a book you’re proud of is The Blueprint.
I’ll help you take the overwhelm out of the process with a proven method, 1:1 coaching, and personalized feedback every step of the way.
It’s time to stop wondering if you’ll launch your book and start focusing on when. I’d be honored to be the one to support you through that process.
