WRITE THAT BOOK SEASON IS HERE! Plus, introducing The Writer’s Retreat: A special live experience on December 5th.
For a limited time: Special bundle pricing on Write That Book + The Writer’s Retreat Live.
Stop hesitating. Stop overthinking. Stop staring at a blank page with dread.
Get that book out of your head and get to The End.
Finally stop talking about writing a book—and actually finish one.
No more holding back. It’s time to get to The End.
Writing a book is not the hard part. Getting out of your own head, and out of your own way, long enough to actually do it is what trips most writers up the most.
You think you need more craft books. You think you need a perfect outlining method. You think you should watch a few more TikToks before beginning.
You are ready to do it, maybe you just haven’t figured out how to show up in the messy beginning yet.
And that’s a solvable issue.
You cannot think your way into writing a book.
You have to write your way into it.
Writer’s block is simply a state of mind. Let’s change it.
***
When I first started writing books after thinking about writing books and talking about writing books and getting depressed about not writing books, I realized how much time I wasted being afraid of the blank page.
Afraid that I won’t be good at it.
Afraid that every sentence I wrote was an indictment on my ability.
I did not find a perfect system to finally unlock my writing.
I found the right mindset to allow me to circumvent my fear and stack up the word count. To finally get past the first chapter. To get to The End. To get to the part where I’m at Fedex with a freshly-printed stack of papers, holding my book in my hands. To see that book on a shelf in the airport, on a table at Barnes & Noble, and speaking about it at the cutest little indie bookstore in Culver City.
I didn’t realize writing a book was a mental game.
My Write That Book course is everything I wish someone had whispered in my ear years ago when I kept letting myself down. Real talk from someone who’s been where you are and overcame it to joyfully write multiple books.
It’s time to get all your ideas of your head and onto a blank page, and finally write that book. I believe in you.
SPECIAL ONE-TIME EVENT
Available as a discounted bundle with Write That Book or standalone
I’m inviting you to a special, one-time live Writer’s Retreat on December 5th, 2026 at 11 AM PT, where we’ll come together for 90 minutes to two hours for an encouraging, potent live experience dedicated to get you out of your head and onto the page.
We’ll kick things off with 30-45 minutes of live teaching on how to fall back in love with writing, get out of your own way, and bring more fun, freedom, play, and possibility into your creative process.
Then, we’ll open up the floor for live Q&A and book coaching.
Bring your blocks. Bring your fears. Bring your questions. Bring the ideas you can’t seem to get onto the page. Bring whatever is holding you back from writing the book you know you want to write.
We’ll work through it together.
You can ask your questions in the chat, jump into the hot seat for live coaching, or submit your questions beforehand.
I will not leave the Live experience until all the questions are answered. <3
This is a special, one-time retreat for writers who are ready to stop overthinking, start writing, and remember just how much fun it can be.
If you can’t make it live, you can send me questions ahead of time and you’ll receive a replay.
There’s a reason you want to write a book and there’s a reason why you struggle to do it.
And I don’t think it has anything to do with what you think it does.
After all these years, I’ve discovered something surprising:
Most people don’t need more talent. Or more time. Or a book deal. Or certainty. Or permission.
What they actually need?
Nerve.
The nerve to stop waiting. The nerve to write badly. The nerve to believe their ideas are worth exploring. The nerve to finish something that might not be perfect. The nerve to stop consuming and start creating. The nerve to admit they have something to say.
That’s what finishing a book actually requires.
Not genius. Not certainty. Not permission.
Nerve.
This is not a writing craft course. Instead, this is a course about giving you the damn nerve to finally finish your book.
Helping you bridge the gap between wanting and finishing.
I’m not going to spend hours teaching you sentence structure, story beats, or outlining methods. All of that is better left to the editing process anyway.
Trying to figure out the perfect way to start is keeping you from writing your book.
Write That Book gets you out of your head and onto the page by stripping away all the things you think you need to know before you start.
It’s everything I wish someone had whispered in my ear fifteen years before I finally figured out how to get to The End.
Who will benefit the most from this offering?
This course is for you if...
You’ve always wanted to write a book but haven’t started.
You’ve started multiple drafts and never finished one.
You feel overwhelmed by conflicting writing advice.
You keep waiting until you’re more confident, inspired, motivated, or ready.
You have an idea you can’t stop thinking about.
You want practical guidance without rigid rules.
You want someone who’s actually done this to show you the path.
You do not need:
Publishing experience
An MFA
A perfect outline
Confidence
Permission
You simply need a willingness to begin. And the fortitude to break through the blocks around the way and get to The End.
Hi, I’m Jamie Varon
I’m an author and creative entrepreneur who has spent years learning what it actually takes to write books, not just dream about writing them.
I’m a 2x published nonfiction author (Quarto).
I’m a 2x published novelist (HarperCollins).
I’ve signed with literary agents.
I’ve navigated traditional publishing.
I’ve self-published and started my own imprint (Evolved State Press).
I’ve helped other writers finish their books.
I’ve finished countless manuscripts after decades of always wanting to write books, but never finishing them.
And through all of it, I’ve learned that writing a book is far less about talent than most people think.
It’s about learning how to move through fear, perfectionism, uncertainty, comparison, resistance, and self-doubt long enough to get to The End.
That’s what I’m here to teach.
What’s Inside The Course
Write That Book has nearly 7 hours of audio lessons and video workshops that walk you through the exact mindset upgrades, creative habits, and perspective shifts that helped me go from aspiring writer to finished manuscripts over and over again.

How you think about writing is more important than being “good enough” at it.

You really have to believe you have something worth saying. And you do.

Audio Lesson #2: Manifesting for Writers (20 mins.)
Why do you even want to write a book? What is your positive reasons for doing it? If the answer is “because I think I should” we need a stronger feeling to go after.

Audio Lesson #3: To Outline or Not to Outline? (17 mins.)
How to know when you have a “good” idea.
How important is an outline?
Aspiring writers often over-inflate the importance of finding the “perfect” way to write a book, and we get into how to think about outlining methods in a different way.
Audio Lesson #4: The First Draft (37 mins.)
What tools to use? Word? Scrivener?
Why it feels so hard to translate the story from your head to the page and how to think about it differently.
Building a consistent practice is more important than anything else.
Decide on what goals actually are realistic.
Let the first draft be messy. It’s okay. You’re allowed.
Remember why you’re writing this draft.
Action cures fear.

What writers just like you have to say about Write That Book
“I finally finished my first draft!”
“For years, my book was the thing I kept meaning to write and somehow never did. Jamie’s course changed how I felt about the process itself. I found peace with it, and once the pressure lifted, the writing became easier. I finally finished my first draft!”
—Jamie S.
“I am barely half way through Jamie Varon’s course, ‘Write That Book’ and from the introduction audio onward, I have found joy in writing again.”
“Immediately, after listening to Jamie’s introduction to this class, I pulled up one of my longest held manuscript ideas, and began free writing on it. Just playing and dabbling. Having fun. An hour or more went by. Pages of story lay before me.
I had carried this story for nearly 40 years.
Finally it was getting life.
Then the miracle took over. As I was going about the rest of my day, more scenes from that story showed up. I added them in. I now keep it open on my computer to allow me to fill in whatever comes up. I repeat I am having fun again. On the third day of this excitement, I realized that my other books have been created in an effort to make something that conformed to a standard. That my heart had gotten sidestepped for market standard. I still like those books. They were my bold way of trying to prove myself to myself. Well done for me. But now, I am writing for fun, every day.
I am only in lesson four, because I like to savor the lessons, have the fun, then add more to it.
Thank you, Jamie. This is magical.”
—Carrie T.
If your book keeps calling to you, it’s time to answer the call.
Writing a book can absolutely be a joyful, fulfilling, and fun process. You do not need to suffer for your art.
Let me teach you not just how to write the book that you’ve been telling yourself you’d write for years, but how to do it with joy, excitement, and passion.
Let’s fall back in love with writing and leave all the rest behind.
