History is Written in Ink: How Books Disrupt for the Greater Good

Books have always been weapons of mass disruption.

Books have sparked movements, shifted mindsets, and planted seeds of transformation. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin played a critical role in shining a new light on slavery in America.

Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart told the story of colonialism’s impact from an African perspective, challenging the Western gaze.

And let’s not forget how Malala Yousafzai’s I Am Malala inspired millions to advocate for girls’ education globally.

When we put our stories to paper, something powerful happens. The personal becomes political. Individual experiences become collective rallying cries. Words bound in ink become bridges of understanding.

Books are important tools for social change, weapons against oppression, and vessels for legacies. And yet, so many of us sit on stories that could make the world better, too afraid or too busy to write them.

But here’s the truth: writing a book isn’t just about you. It’s about the ripple effect your words can create. Whether you’re documenting your expertise, telling the story of mountains you’ve climbed, or weaving a narrative that challenges people to think differently, your book is your megaphone to amplify your impact. And history is written in ink. And ink is hard to erase.

When you write a book, you’re not just putting words on paper; you’re leaving a mark. Your ideas have the power to outlive you, making your book a time capsule of who you are and what you stand for. It’s an act of defiance in a world that often wants us to stay silent.

Yes, I have my own GIFs, for such a time as this!

But writing isn’t just for “the chosen ones” or people with massive platforms. Every bestselling author started as someone with an idea and a willingness to turn it into action. Your story matters. Your expertise matters. Your perspective matters.

And if you’ve been sitting on that book dream, I’m here to tell you this: there’s no better time than now. We need your voice. We need your book on a shelf.

And I want to help you make it happen, as I’m uniquely positioned for such a time as this and such an assignment as this, as a 4-time NYT bestselling author, speaker and book coach. It is why I created The Book Academy.

In The Book Academy, I’ll show you:

✅ Why NOW is the perfect time to write your book and how to get clear on your idea

✅ The order you need to approach the writing process in (HINT: don’t just start with writing the book, other steps need to come first)

✅ How it’s possible (and could be beneficial) to publish even if you don’t have a big platform

✅ How to make time to write your book even if you’re busy (I wrote my book in 5 months and my proposal in 1 week!)

Your Words Matter.

If you’ve ever felt the pull to write a book, this is your sign. Your book could be the catalyst someone needs to start their own journey of transformation. Imagine the lives you could touch, the ideas you could spark, the legacy you could leave.

WE NEED YOUR WORDS, YOUR STORY, YOUR PERSPECTIVE, YOUR LESSONS, YOUR EXPERTISE. Let’s get them in ink!

If you were to write a book today, what would you call it? 👀👀👀
