custom workbooks

Let’s do the work together!

Every project is personal, and no two workbooks are ever the same. Whether you are stuck at the idea stage, ready to build alongside a partner, or looking for a full-service provider to handle the launch, we have a package designed for your stage of the journey.

Use this checklist to compare all packages and find out which is right for you.

 
 

What is the difference between the packages?

  • The Strategist, The Coach, The Creative, and The Co-Creator are ideal for clients who are DIYers and have the design skills and tools to complete a workbook on their own or if they have another designer to do the work.

    These clients do not have a book and are looking for support with discussing their project and flushing out what they need in order to develop and design their workbook. Or they have already have a book and are looking for ways to create it into an interactive workbook.

    They need support, inspiration and motivation to take their workbook idea to the next level.

  • The Designer, The Generator and The Works is for clients who need support to organize the entire project from start to finish.

    These custom projects are for Authors and Course Creators that need a designer to do the development and design work to complete their project.

    They need accountability, direction and creativity to oversee the publication of their workbook.

  • This package you will receive my assistance with the self-publishing aspect along with the all the above workbook development packages. This package also includes book branding that inevitably unfolds when creating a book as it sometimes becomes a new brand identity or offshoot of your already existing brand.

 

Who is each Custom Workbook package for?

  • The Strategist is for those who need clarity, validation, and a production-ready roadmap for their workbook idea. They are ready to commit to a scheduled call for an intensive session intended to finalize their structural, content, and monetization decisions, but need to eliminate analysis paralysis before they invest in development or design. They are looking for the fastest, most effective path to an executable roadmap so they can either proceed with confidence on their own or seamlessly transition into The Co-Creator to create their workbook with Do The Work Books .

  • The Co-Creator is for those who need help with development and designer work. They plan to design it themself or have another designer to work with. They need Do The Work Books to support them step by step on their workbook journey. They need accountability to keep them on track and expert advice adding more possibilities to their workbook.

  • The Coach is for those who do not need designer work. They plan to design it themself or have another designer to work with. They need Do The Work Books to support them on their workbook journey and offer expert advice and possibilities for their workbook.

  • The Creative is for those who want to start the process of creating the workbook but only want to determine a strategy without commiting to the entire development for completing their workbook. They need a visual proposal of their book to help with their process of completing the book. The Design Proposal can be used as a template for more pages in their workbook so that they can finish the design themself.

  • This is best for authors who need support with content development by exploring creative prompts and interactive methods for engaging the participant.

  • The Designer is for those who have the final edited manuscript done and their workbook is ready to be designed. They have the content and the interactive worksheets developed so they simply need the pages to be digitally designed and formatted. They do not require custom graphics, stock image or publishing support except for support with reviewing the printed proof.

  • The Generator is for those who need more support in developing and designing their workbook. They do not have all the content flushed out and need support with developing their workbook idea into an engaging and interactive experience for their audience. This includes support and advice on how to create activities for their workbook. They also want custom graphics and or support with stock images to include in their book to make it unique and visually interesting.

  • The Works is for those who want it all! They are starting from the ground up and need clarity on their workbook vision, a plan to create it and the support to make it happen. The Works package is the entire project management process with design, development, and delivery for the final book. This will include everything from editing your manuscript to developing a book brand to managing all the publishing details.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • On our initial call together we will establish what you need and decide which package is best for you. If we change directions throughout working together we review the scope and decide which new direction to take.

  • Some packages state a starting price. Every workbook is different and I will work with you to determine which package is best for your unique needs. An estimate with clear deliverables will be provided before any work is started.

  • The Designer, The Generator and The Works are based on a foundation of 30 pages divided equally into 3 page design types: Simple, Content and Visual. Repeated duplicated pages have no charge. Additional pages if required will be charged $20-$80/page depending on design and complexity. Page design type and count can only be determined once The Design Strategy stage and edited manuscript is finalized and approved.

  • I would be honoured to discuss with you what options are available to you and your specific needs to create your workbook. Fill out the Contact page and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
