“I am so grateful for the encouragement and thoughtful read of my manuscript. I’m not kidding when I say how close it was to languishing forever in my “writing” file on my laptop. It has been a treat to rescue it from near-deletion and to bring some of the work back to life.”

FAQ
Nonfiction Bootcamp DIY is a self-paced video course created by Janna Marlies Maron. It’s currently 10+ hours of content, homework assignments, and exercises designed to help women find their voice and finish their book. Yes, it is possible to finish a book in less than one year—it takes focus, commitment, and support.
Nonfiction Bootcamp DIY is for women writing a nonfiction book about a personal story of transformation. We say that the story is one of transformation because often women are compelled to tell the story of something big they have overcome like a diagnosis or adoption or finding the courage to start a business and how it has completely changed their life, for the better. They know that what they have been through can also help change the lives of others, for the better, and that is why they are compelled to write a book.
The women we work with are typically working through major life shifts that often makes the material hard to write because they are revisiting painful or challenging memories. This is why it’s essential for them to find a safe and supportive space to do this work. The work is hard and, yes, can be painful, but it is also therapeutic and deeply healing.
Nonfiction Bootcamp DIY is designed for you to engage with one lesson per month for 9 months. But it’s self-paced, so you should feel free to take as little or as much time as you need with lesson.
If you qualify for the bonus of 6 months of community membership, you’ll also be a member of our online community called More to the Story. The online community is where you will access everything you need: office hour events, quarterly masterclasses and seminars, our course library archive.

You’ll access the recorded video content on your own time, meet with your peers and editors every other week for office hours, all while you’re working on your manuscript.
This program is designed to help writers finish their book and complete a manuscript that is ready for next steps.
