They Will Judge Your Book By Its Cover
A free strategic ideation exercise from the ACCESS Model — built for serious non-fiction authors.
WHAT THIS EXERCISE DOES
Most authors spend months — sometimes years — trying to articulate what their book is really about and who it is really
for. This exercise shortens that journey to a single focused session.
They Will Judge Your Book By Its Cover is a strategic ideation exercise drawn from the Concept module of the
ACCESS Model. It will help you sharpen your book’s core value proposition, lay the foundation for its organizational
framework, and identify the unique perspective that sets your book apart from every other title in your category. Along
the way it produces something tangible — a cover concept that becomes your motivational compass for the writing
journey ahead.
It was built for non-fiction authors who are serious about getting their book right — not just written.
