If you declared 2012 the year you're going to
finish (or start!) your book, congratulations!

You've taken the first step toward a big and exciting goal.



But I have a question for you:
Have you thought about how you're actually going to meet this goal?

Obviously, you need to write. You can set a schedule and bang out the words—easy, right?

But then life gets in the way.

You start procrastinating. You start to wonder if it's any good.

And if you've been working on this project for a while, you have written SO MANY WORDS that you're not sure how to organize them.

The publishing options are overwhelming, too.

So how the heck are you supposed to reach your goal of writing (and publishing) a book?


Where's the road map to guide you
from the land of big ideas...

through the writing wilderness...

to the destination of your dreams:
a published book YOU wrote?



Never fear, intrepid writer! Ticket to Write was created just for you.

    Your Guide

    I'm Amy Scott, founder of Nomad Editorial and your guide on this journey. I've spent more than ten years working with writers to get their books written, polished, and out into the world. I'm a nomad and a rebel at heart, and I love supporting writers whose work challenges the status quo. In my trusty editing rucksack I carry a wide range of tools and techniques to address the challenges that writers face. My experience in traditional publishing and my fascination with the fast-moving world of digital and self-publishing bring you the best of both worlds. I like to say that working with me is like having your own personal writing and grammar coach, cheerleader, mind reader, and organizer—all in one.



    Amy was always respectful, easy-going, encouraging, patient, and kind. It felt as though she was just as invested in my book as I was, which was a true gift.
