“100 Day Book was the oxygen I needed to breathe life into my creative outlet. It lit my candle and kept me focused on something that I didn’t think I could thrive in.”

I know how hard it is to write a book because I've been there.
My name is Joe Bunting, and I've written over a dozen books. I've also trained thousands of people on how to write books of their own.
But writing didn't come to me naturally. In fact, I have always struggled to write. In high school, I decided I wanted to become a professional writer, but I couldn't even finish one chapter of a book.
In college, I even studied creative writing, but that just made it harder since I knew how bad my own writing was compared to the writers I loved.
After college, I worked as a journalist and then traveled the world to write, but every time I tried to write a book, I failed miserably.
It went on like this for years.
Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever had a great book idea, tried to write a book, and then failed?
Then something happened:
I learned the process.
Everything changed for me when I got a coach, a New York Times bestselling author. They gave me a proven process, and held me accountable to actually finishing.
It worked!
I finished that book and went on to write more than a dozen more. But without that first coach, I would still be stuck today.
If you think you can write a book alone, you're destined to continue to fail at writing your book.
But with the right coach and the right process, you can finally experience what it's like to finish writing your book. (It's an amazing experience. Trust me.)
“The 100 day book challenge drew me in and through it I completed a first draft. Then in the next 100 day book challenge I wrote another. I learned a lot, and signed up for a third session to edit a first draft and create a second draft. This never would have happened without the well designed and hosted experience.” John Malnor
Now, I want to coach you through the book writing process that has helped thousands of people to finish their books.
“This has been the best way to get started on writing a book. There is a tremendous amount of information to help especially for the novice. The encouragement has been authentic and inspiring. I would do this again.” Giovani Biagiotti
INTRODUCING THE
100 DAY BOOK PROGRAM
Go from Aspiring Writer to Author in 100 Days
100 Day Book is a transformational program that will guide you through the book writing process. If you follow the process we coach you through in 100 Day Book, you will have a finished book. Even better, you'll learn a process you can use again and again to write books in the future.
I joined 100 Day Book, and a hundred days later I had finished a 370 page memoir. I did 100 Day Book again immediately and edited that 370 pages down to a 350 page second draft. And now I am just about to finish draft four. None of this would've happened without 100 Day Book. I think in a decade I will look back and say this program was truly life changing.

*Already finished your first draft? 100 Day Book Works for 2nd Drafts and Beyond
What if you’ve already written your first draft? Can the 100 Day Book program help you?
Yes!
Your next step is to edit your book. And we’ve built 100 Day Book: Draft 2 to help you do just that.
In this version of the program, we’ve taken the proven 100 Day Book process and transformed it to walk you through the process of editing your book. You’ll have community, accountability, and deadlines just like the original 100 Day Book program.
Plus, you’ll get new content to teach you how to edit your book. How do you know what’s working and what’s not? How do you revise an entire manuscript without getting overwhelmed?
Whether you’ve already written your book with us in 100 days, or whether you finished your first draft on your own, this program is the perfect next step.
How do you sign up for 100 Day Book: Draft 2? Just enroll in the course and afterward, you'll get an email asking whether you're working on your first or second draft!
What's in your 100 Day Book Program membership?
When you become a member of the 100 Day Book program, you get a proven process to write a book. But that's just the beginning.
A Book Coach
We'll pair you with a personal book coach, an author who knows the process of writing a book. They will track your progress and check in with you weekly to give you advice on the process and help you stay focused.
Daily Writing Lessons
You don't want to write just any book. You want to write a great book. So you'll get 100 daily lessons to inspire, educate, and encourage you as you write your best book. Even better, these lessons will be delivered in all the ways you learn best: video, audio, and written content.
$100 Incentive
If you acheive all of your deadlines and finish your book in the 100 days, we'll give you $100. Don't finish? That $100 goes away. Pretty great incentive to finish a book, right?
That's everything you need to finish your book.
But you'll get even more from the program:
A Team of Authors Committed to Finishing
Join a cohort of dozens of other authors finishing their books in the program all together.

The experience was transformational. My first draft is good as finished. I'm moving forward for the second draft and the book, I know with the continual support that you get in The Write Practice and the 100 day book that my book will be finished. And that is a stage that I have never been in before, despite writing for many years, or starting writing for many years.
