with Stacy Ennis
Write your book and step into your purpose with this accelerated author program.
NPR Idaho
Hi there!
Are you ready to grow your influence, impact, and income?
Maybe you’re . . .
Unsure of how to even start
Overwhelmed and don’t know how you’ll find time to write
Uncertain of your ability to write an entire book
Asking yourself, “Who am I to write a book?”
And deep down, uncertain anyone would want to read what you have to write
This accelerated author program will help you get unstuck—and get started on your journey to authorhood. I’ll provide you with the process, tools, coaching, and encouragement to write an excellent nonfiction book you are proud to share with the world.
I’ve been right where you are now.
When I started writing my first book in 2012, I was uncertain of my own ability. While I was an accomplished professional, I doubted my ideas, expertise, and story, and wondered if I’d be able to accomplish my lifelong dream of writing a book. I was working crazy long hours and about to become a new mom. But even though I was afraid of failure (and success), I did it anyway.
And then I wrote another book. And another. Along the way, my income doubled and doubled again. My latest coauthored book became a #1 best seller and stood cover-to-cover next to books by authors like Brené Brown, Rachel Hollis, and Stephen Covey. I’ve flown all over the world delivering keynotes and trainings, and have had the opportunity to influence thousands of people through my writing and speaking. And I’m convinced that’s all because I was brave enough to sit down, write, and publish my first book. My life would be completely different if I hadn’t said “yes” to that book and stepped into my purpose.
As one client put it, “A book is worth a million dollars in revenue.” I’ll add: A great book is worth thousands of lives impacted.
You can have an incredible level of impact—but first, you have to write your book. Luckily, I have a process that will help you.
Your step-by-step book-writing process is here.
Drawing on my work with hundreds of aspiring authors, I’ve developed a step-by-step accelerated author program to help you write your nonfiction book. Over twelve weeks, you’ll walk through targeted trainings, live workshops, expert coaching, and deep-dive QA sessions alongside other future authors. I’ll guide you through each step of writing your nonfiction book, from idea to finished manuscript, and teach you a clear process to take the guesswork out of writing and unleash your creative genius—even if you don’t think you’re a writer!
Think of me as your expert guide, your biggest supporter, and a coach who cares deeply about helping you finally write a book that will catapult you toward your purpose. Plus, you’ll be journeying alongside a world-changing cohort of motivated future authors. Powerful.
I’ll guide you on your journey to authorhood.
Signature nonfiction book-writing framework
Transformative author experience
Accountability, community, and access to me
I’m Stacy Ennis, your new book-writing coach.
I fell in love with books at age seven and have been obsessed ever since. As a kid and teen, I took every elective writing course; as an adult, I earned a bachelor’s in writing and a master’s in professional writing and editing. Today, as a trainer, my style is interactive and inviting yet highly practical. I want you to be super productive and have a blast writing your book—because it’s fun! When I’m not writing my typical 2.5 books per year, I’m exploring Portugal, where my husband, two kids, and I currently live. I’ve also lived in the Dominican Republic, Vietnam, and Thailand. I’m a runner, reader (shocker!), and world explorer who believes life is a great adventure and travel is better with a good book.

Your questions, answered.
How does the application process work?
I’m so excited you’re considering applying to Nonfiction Book School! Applications are open through April 20, 2021. To apply, click here, enter your name and email address, and submit the form. You’ll receive an email link to complete the application and will also be redirected to the application page, which takes about 10 minutes to complete. Once you’ve submitted your application, I’ll get back to you within 48 hours for next steps—and hopefully an invitation to enroll!
What are you looking for in applicants? Will I get in?
I request applications for the program to ensure that the program is a right fit for you, and that the community of authors is a vibrant, driven, forward-moving group of people who are out to make a difference in this world. I don’t expect your idea to be fully fleshed out—heck, you don’t even have to know what you want to write about!—but I do hope to see heart and commitment in your application. Don’t worry if you’re feeling totally fuzzy about your book. I’ll help you with that.
If you are an individual who is driven to share an idea or story with the world, and want to grow your influence, impact, or income, you are probably a great fit for the program. Many NBS students are professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, or bighearted individuals who see a book as a step toward their bigger purpose. Some want to write a book because it’s been a lifelong goal or they have a compelling story to share. If you’re not sure whether you’re a fit, apply anyway! I’ll help you determine whether it’s the program for you. And if you’re dealing with self-doubt about whether you’re “successful enough” to apply, kick that negative self-talk to the curb! You don’t have to be superhuman or uber successful to write a book. You just need to show up and write.
When does the program begin?
How much time do I need to commit each week to be successful?
Every book project is unique, so it’s difficult to give an exact time estimate. However, I can provide some guidelines based on your commitment level. If you’re looking to develop the skillset of writing a book, engage in the community, and make some progress on your draft, I suggest two to four hours per week of focused time. If you’d like to make solid progress and go deep with the community and coaching, set aside four to six hours per week. And if you want to finish your first draft—or at least get close—within the 12 weeks, I suggest setting aside 10 or more hours per week.
What is the schedule of classes?
Recorded trainings will be available and live workshops will take place on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. EDT. Deep-dive QAs are 30 minutes long and occur on non-workshop weeks on Thursdays at 11 a.m. EDT to give you time to complete that week’s training. And don’t worry—you’ll have a full list of dates within the program platform once you enroll!
Can’t attend a live session because you’re traveling or in a meeting? Don’t worry—each training session will be recorded and uploaded within 48 hours, and you’ll have lifetime access to the trainings and other resources (to use for your next book!).
How do you deliver the live trainings and QAs?
What do students say is the biggest benefit of the program?
Students are largely surprised and delighted by how transformative the book-writing process is for them. For many aspiring authors, “writing a book” is this big, complex thing—but in Nonfiction Book School, it’s broken down into a clear, step-by-step process to encourage deep introspection that leads to clarity of purpose and vision. Powerful, right? Two other big benefits students report: transformed schedules and community. I teach a time-blocking process to create time to write, which many students utilize well after the program ends—it becomes a lifestyle! NBS alumni have also become good friends, cheering each other on as they launch books and step into their purpose. The NBS community is welcoming and inspiring!
What is your methodology behind this accelerated author program?
I built Nonfiction Book School on a simple premise: structure begets creativity. My signature framework has been honed for more than a decade, both in writing my own books and guiding students to write theirs, and I’ve seen the power of a clear, step-by-step framework to enable aspiring authors to write great books they’re proud to share with the world.
Importantly, NBS is not built to help you write a book lightning fast. I don’t believe books should be written in a weekend or without close attention to quality. Your ideas and stories deserve more of your energy and time to write a great book, not just a done book. Every step of my process is designed to help you dig deep, be highly productive, and write the book you’ve dreamed of.
I’m writing a novel. Is this program for me?
This author accelerator program is specifically geared toward nonfiction books. That said, I used a similar process to plan and cowrite Growing Influence, a business fable I coauthored with Ron Price. You will likely still get a lot out of this program, but I want to be clear that I will not be teaching you how to write a novel; the program curriculum is tailored toward big-idea, how-to, and information-focused nonfiction books. If you apply, be sure to let me know you’re working on a novel so I can share additional resources.
How is this different than every other “write your book” course out there?
I’m on the fence. Why should I apply?
Your book is waiting! Apply now.

Stacy is brilliant! Her kindness belies the fact that she can challenge you and push you to be better than you even realize. I don’t think of myself as a structured person, and yet with Stacy’s help, I developed a repeatable process for creative time every day to allow me to efficiently and successfully create.
