What If You Made Your Dream of Writing a Book Happen by the end of April 2025?
If you dedicate at least half an hour every day, you could have a draft manuscript by the end of the year, roughly 100 pages long. This could become a book of about 200 pages or more. Or less. Actually, the thickness or length of the book isn’t crucial. Some bestsellers are only around 25 A4 pages long. What matters is turning your dream of a book into reality. Writing alone is not the easiest thing to do. A lot of other things seem way more… important. And tempting. Let’s stop procrastinating. Let’s stop looking for excuses. Let’s write this book together.
Whether it’s a memoir or a business book that includes your expertise, writing takes time. Knowledge also comes in handy. Birgit Itse’s 118-day mentorship programme is an opportunity to realise your long-held dream of writing. Maybe your Big Idea is still somewhat vague – that’s okay – together we’ll refine it further.
This isn’t a mentorship programme loaded with overwhelming homework, but rather nearly four months of growth, which helps you find the place to write without fear, and learn to edit without mercy.
Content of the Mentorship Programme
Stories about how someone has overcome a life challenge or discovered their true calling can be found in the memoir section of a bookshop. These stories are inspiring and timeless. Knowledge on how to start in a particular field (as an entrepreneur) or refine your skills falls under manuals or more broadly, business books. Although seemingly different genres, there are many similarities in writing them.
The mentorship programme is practical and focuses on the skills and knowledge needed to write an inspiring memoir or convey your professional expertise.
Among these skills are creativity, critical thinking, written self-expression, including storytelling, working with additional materials, editing your text, attention to detail, as well as book marketing and finding (additional) funding. In addition to personal guidance, work is also done individually, supported by additional materials and a writing partner. Each webinar focuses on a specific topic.

Why Write a Book At All?
Credibility
You’re seen as an expert. As long as you operate within your field, you’re an entrepreneur. A book has the magic to transform you from a regular entrepreneur into a valued expert. As an author of a book, you become an authority, publicly demonstrating deep knowledge and experience in your field.
Effective marketing
A book is also an opportunity to attract new customers. It allows you to reach people you wouldn’t otherwise and boost sales for your courses, services, and products. Additionally, a book can open doors to additional income streams: guest speaking, workshops, etc.
More valuable contacts
As an author of a book, you immediately connect with other experts in your field, with whom you can exchange ideas. This, in turn, creates fertile ground for new collaboration opportunities and partnerships.
Personal and professional development
Writing a book forces you to systematically put your thoughts and experiences into words. It may also spark a desire to further your knowledge, providing greater clarity.
More loyal customers
A book helps strengthen and warm relationships with existing customers, as it enhances your credibility as an author and entrepreneur.
Stronger brand
Your unique experiences are an opportunity to share your (company’s) mission and grow your reputation. Journalists often seek experts for interviews or references.
