For coaches, mentors and therapists
A self-improvement book with steps readers can take today

- Day-by-day or step-by-step structure
- Free editable outline and 2-page sample
- Exercises and reviews readers fill in
- Print-ready PDF and EPUB, one price per book
Insight fades by the end of the week
A good session leaves a client with a clear idea of what to change. Then ordinary life returns: work deadlines, a sick child, a bad night's sleep. Without something to hold the plan in place, the idea from Tuesday becomes a vague intention by Saturday. Coaches and therapists see this all the time, and the usual fix is a worksheet or a long follow-up email that gets buried.
A book gives the change a sequence. Instead of a single big goal, the reader gets a series of small, specific steps: decide on one habit, attach it to something they already do, write down what happens if they miss a day. A mentor can use it as the backbone of a group program. A therapist can suggest a chapter as homework between appointments. A blogger can offer it to readers who keep asking how to apply the ideas from the posts. In every case the book continues your work at the times you cannot be there.
The difficulty is that self-improvement writing easily turns generic. With InkMagnet you describe your method, your readers and the situations they struggle with, attach your own notes if you have them, and edit the free table of contents until it reflects how you actually work. You read two typeset pages before paying. After payment the book is researched, written chapter by chapter, edited and set into PDF and EPUB.
Books coaches and mentors make
The best topic is the change your clients try to make again and again. A few directions:
30-day plan
One small task per day toward a single change, with weekly reviews. A clear format that readers can start the day they download it.
Workbook for a group program
Exercises, prompts and trackers for each week of your program. Participants keep their progress in one place instead of scattered notes.
Between-session companion
For therapists and counselors: short chapters on topics you return to with many clients, suggested as reading between appointments.
Focused guide on one problem
Procrastination, stress at work, boundaries, confidence in meetings. A narrow topic reaches people at the moment they search for help.
Mentoring handbook
For mentors and leaders: the frameworks you use with mentees, with questions to work through before each conversation.
Reader gift for a blog or podcast
Your core ideas turned into a practical plan, offered for an email address or sold as a low-priced first product.
A real book made with InkMagnet
Example: “How to Build Habits: A 30-Day Implementation Plan” (87 pages)
A guide made in InkMagnet for readers who have tried and abandoned new habits before. It starts with why resolutions fall apart, then sets out seven decisions to make before day one (one habit, a minimum version, an anchor, an if-then plan and more). The core of the book is thirty days in three stages, launch, stabilization and standing on its own, with one task per day and weekly reviews, followed by what to do after day 31. It is grounded in habit-formation research rather than motivation. Below is its full table of contents.

How to use the book in your practice
A self-improvement guide works when readers come back to it. A few ways to keep them coming back:
Start of a program
Give the book on the first day of a course or coaching package. Each session can begin from the chapter participants worked through that week.
Email sequence that follows the plan
Send a short message on the days that matter most, such as the first weekly review, with a reminder of the chapter to open.
Homework between appointments
Suggest one specific exercise rather than the whole book. Clients arrive with something concrete to discuss.
Entry product for new people
Offer the book as a free download or at a low price. Readers who finish the plan already know how you work and what you focus on.
Frequently asked questions
Will the book reflect my method, not generic advice?
That depends on how much of your method you put into the description and the outline. Describe your principles and exercises, attach your materials and edit the table of contents before paying. Afterwards you can rewrite any chapter in the chapter editor.
I am a therapist. Can I give the book to clients?
Yes, after you review it. The book is researched and language-edited, but it is general self-help material, not therapy or a substitute for it. Read it as the professional responsible for it, adjust anything that does not fit your clients and say on the first pages what the book is and is not.
Can readers fill in the exercises?
The book can include prompts, checklists and review questions. Readers can print the PDF and write in it, or keep their answers in a notebook alongside the EPUB.
Can I sell it or include it in a paid program?
Yes. You get full rights to the finished book, so you can sell it, give it away or bundle it with coaching and courses.
How much does it cost?
One fixed price per book, depending on the number of pages, with no subscription. The title, table of contents and 2-page sample are free.
What if I want to change something in the finished book?
You have three options. Edit any chapter yourself in the built-in editor. Tell the AI what to change in a chapter or section (shorten, simplify, add an example): you see the change first and keep it only if you like it, three times per book. Or use “Check by a human”: describe what is wrong and our editor corrects it by hand, free of charge, up to three requests per book.
