About Yvonne DiVita

My friends call me The Book Whisperer. I'm a Book Coach and Author advisor. I help entrepreneurs and successful business professionals put their story into a book. A book that matters. That leaves a legacy. That creates community. That helps build business and invites more speaking opportunities. A book that builds authority. I’m a writer. An author. An advisor. A former book publisher. In 2015, I was awarded the title of Woman of the Year in the Women in the Pet Industry Network. It was the most wonderful accolade and highest honor I have ever received! My favorite saying is: "It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things." Elinor Smith, Aviator

Is your book idea ready to be a book 5 tests for first time authors

Is Your Book Idea Really a Book? 5 Tests for First‑Time Authors Before You Write a Single Chapter.

I think everyone should write a book. The world knows this. I say so on LinkedIn and in this blog on a regular basis.

But the truth is, writing doesn’t come naturally to everyone. In fact, too many people say they aren’t writing a book because they’re just not writers.

Well, most first-time authors I meet aren’t “bad at writing.” They graduated from fifth grade.  They know how to put a sentence together. To create paragraphs. To convey an idea.

The problem isn’t the writing; the problem is that they’re trying to write a book before they actually have one.
