Get Answers to All Your Writing Questions and Learn The ‘Secret Sauce’ Taught By Professional Book Coaches To Their Exclusive Clients
Do you have any individual Questions?
Do you have any individual Questions?
When people talk to you they can feel your passion, love and knowledge for your subject. I believe, your book should bring out that element of passion and knowledge that’s truly YOU.
In the Idea2Book Mentorship, you will get the writing support and guidance to unwrap each crucial step in writing. You will learn how to make your ideas shine and work through techniques to write in your voice, tell a story and build your narrative.
Because even non-fiction has to have a storyline that compels your readers to pick up YOUR book and read it.
Your book has to be more than a simple telling of your processes and learnings.
You need to tell your story in a way, that your ideas connect at a deeper level…just like when you converse with your clients and have them nodding in agreement with your views. Finding out how to get your readers to nod in agreement as they read your book is the ‘secret’ of good writing and in the Idea2Book Mentorship Program, you will learn how to implement it.
Hello! My name is Nishka Rathi…
I Learnt Writing the Hard Way- Without Any Support
When I started writing in 2008, I had no certificate to prove that I was a writer, I had not attended any writing course nor did I know anyone who was a writer…
I was an ex-banker with a degree in Finance and Marketing who didn’t want to work as a banker anymore…
The only thing other than Finance that I thought I knew were books… because while growing up I don’t remember if I was ever without a book. I didn’t know it then, but I was getting an ‘education.’
And I have always been curious about learning new things…
My curiosity helped me deliver on diverse requirements.
Over the years, as I worked and learnt the skills of writing, I created—
blog posts for corporates, whitepapers (which if you really look objectively are short-form corporate stories with the narrative of ‘how we are awesome for you’), advertising copy and even seven books…
I wrote for different niches from finance to Quality and even law.
Each project taught me a new aspect of writing and that’s when I decided to become a book coach and start teaching coaches and consultants like you the best way to write their ideas in a book.
Because there is one thing I have learnt…

Writing a Book is not a Linear Process
When I work as a book architect, I help my authors by writing the book of their dreams in 4 simple stages through my Immersive Ghostwriting Process.
I manage the behind-the-scenes chaos of writing for them.
Yes. The non-linear nature of writing combined with the sheer time it takes to write a book as compared to an article or a speech, makes many new writers like you, feel demotivated and stuck.
Why?
• because you have a wealth of expertise to share
• because you expect perfection very soon in the writing process
• because you are looking at the wrong direction while creating your book structure
Let’s unpack the first reason…
Why Sharing Everything You Know Is Not a Good Idea?
Often first-time authors feel they have to address all the problems in one-go to showcase their expertise.
Writing everything you know is hard…
• It is hard for you as the writer because there are many perspectives and ideas to cover
• It’s hard for your reader because they have to assimilate so much in one book.
Think about it…
You learnt all these ideas one by one. If you share your lifetime’s learning in one book, it will become too hard to read/implement for your reader.
“But which idea should I write about first?”
In Idea2Book Mentorship you will learn how to choose your best idea for a book and structure it in a way that reveals your in-depth expertise.

Seeing is Doing
I have created short videos which break down the writing process into easy to follow steps. These videos will tell you a task or explain an idea. Listen to them and do the task for the day. You can even write down all the tasks in one notebook. That way you can easily look back and see what you wrote down earlier. It will help you link the dots faster.
Let’s Talk
When you start doing the tasks, there is no doubt that you will have lots of questions. I will answer them in the Facebook group I have created just for this mentorship program, but asking questions directly is always helpful. Every Friday I will hold a one-hour live session to discuss your doubts and show you just how we will create your book!
Together We Will
I believe that there is no unique problem, we all face different versions of the same. That’s why working in a group helps. We can learn from each other and see how others deal with the same writing blocks. My Idea2Book Mentorship Tribe on FaceBook will be a place to give strength and support to each other on our writing journey. Look forward to seeing you there..
Supportive Listening
We all need some extra words of guidance and support. I will give 15 minutes of hot seat sessions during the implementation weeks.
Speak out.
Tell me what exactly is bothering you and what is stopping you from achieving your goal. Remember this journey is not yours alone. We are together and I am ready to listen and support you.
I had a session with Nishka yesterday, we went through how I should decide what I will write about the approach to use as well as the action steps I need to take to get there. Certainly well worth your time I recommend anyone to take her up on her offer.
From understanding a completely new subject to capturing my voice while ‘ghosting’ my book- Nishka displayed rare professionalism and commitment. She worked sincerely through the whole project and helped me create a book that captures my essential discoveries.
Nishka got me to look at my big why for writing the book. She provided suggestions and we fleshed out a plan and a structure for moving forwards. She had a lovely way with her and was very knowledgeable putting forward lots of different ideas of how things would work, for writing, publishing and also marketing the book.
I now have a structure and a plan I can follow to move forward and get the book written and published. I’m feeling really confident about getting it finished now which I wasn’t before the start of the session.
When we started working on the book #ChangeStartsYoung, we were very keen on including stories of young changemakers in a way that they were very attractive for young readers. Nishka with her immense talent with words worked closely with our team to craft the right stories, define the tone of the stories and make the content engaging. She was able to distil the stories to crisp and compelling stories.
It was a pleasure working with her and would love to work with her again
I had a power hour session with Nishka yesterday. Within an hour she gave me such a wealth of information about the whole writing business that it would have taken me several days of digging around to find it. She also walked me through why I “should write” a book rather than “not write one”. This decision of writing vs not writing was what had led me to her in the first place.
Went a step further and narrowed down topics and outlines for a short book and also discussed how a short book can be useful for my therapy and coaching business. She was thorough and professional in her approach, at the same time it was very easy to follow what she was telling and recommending.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is thinking of, or wanting to write a book.
Nishka has a wealth of experience in book writing, as a coach she understands the challenges that writers face and comes up with very effective solutions. She can help you develop your ideas and get clarity on how to start, develop on the contents and structure the book. I am very happy and thankful to Nishka for taking genuine interest and helping me get started with my project.
Would definitely recommend Nishka as a coach if you are planning to write a book and see your dream becoming a reality.
I am too busy to do an 8 week program. Will I be able to finish it?
I hear you. We are all juggling multiple things at this point in our lives. This program is designed for busy professionals. That’s why we have short video sessions, only weekly one-hour lives and implementation weeks. Everything will be recorded so that you can always access them even if you miss the sessions.
Will I be able to complete the program in 8 weeks?
The program is designed for 8 weeks, but even if you are not able to complete it in 8 weeks, you are part of my FaceBook group for a year.
You get access to all the videos, live sessions and templates for life.
Plus, I plan to launch this program at least 2-3 times a year. While you are in the FaceBook group, you will be part of those other launches too and can catch up wherever you missed.
How do I ensure my ideas are not taken by another?
The Idea2Book Mentorship Program is about creating a strong structure for your book. You don’t need to share your ideas in detail at all. I will talk about how to think through your ideas and see them from different perspectives.
What happens after a year?
You get access to my FaceBook group for a year. If you want to stay in the group, you can. Just pay a small monthly fee.
I find the payment too high.
This is a hard one for me to answer. The fact is you can always compare the prices, and I can say I am sharing my wealth of experience but the final decision has to be yours because you know what works best for you and when.I conduct a 1-2-1 mentorship program with authors where I provide developmental edits too and it is priced much higher because of the amount of time and work it demands. This program is designed for a group and so I have slashed the rates by a lot.
On my writing journey, I have learnt that every book has a time. You might know everything worth sharing but there is a time when you finally stop thinking about writing and just sit down and write.
Some people write books in their 30s and some in their 60s. There is no right or wrong time. You see what time, what support, what approach works best for you because it’s your book and your idea.
Do you have any individual Questions?
