THE VOW METHOD™ with Sheila V
- A PROVEN PROCESS TO AWAKEN YOUR VOICE AS AN AUTHOR

When I first started, I felt completely overwhelmed. I had this burning desire to share my experiences, to create something that would empower others, but every time I tried to get the words out, they just wouldn’t land on the page. Self-doubt whispered that maybe I wasn’t cut out for this. 

I spent months stuck in a cycle of overthinking and rewriting. It wasn’t until I made the decision to fully commit to the process that things began to shift. That’s when I developed the VOW Method™, which finally gave me the clarity and direction I needed. 

This method helped me turn my chaotic thoughts into a structured, cohesive book. The more I wrote, the more I trusted my voice, and eventually, the vision for my book became clear. Now, I want to take you through the VOW Method™ so you can push through the doubts, stay consistent, and write the book you were meant to create.

VOICE

Your voice is the power behind your message that gives you the authority to inspire and uplift others by sharing your experiences and insights to make a difference. Keep writing, even when life gets busy or doubts creep in. Remember your purpose and create a vision for your impactful message.

 

OWNERSHIP

Writing isn’t about waiting for inspiration. It’s about showing up consistently. Create a routine and commit to the process. Little by little, the words add up and your book will take shape.

Take action, get serious about writing and finally bring your book idea to life.

WISDOM

Understand the self-help framework that makes all the difference. Structure your wisdom to guide your readers through a transformative journey and create lasting impact. Knowledge of the publishing process will empower you to fast track your launch and to be seen.

WHAT’S IN THIS
WORKSHOP?

In this 3 hour online workshop I will guide you through the VOW Method™ and the fundamentals of finding your voice, constructing an engaging story and bringing your book to market. Bravely step out to make an impact. By the end of this session, the mysteries of publishing will be unraveled. No more guessing - you’ll have the insider knowledge to make informed decisions and take your story from manuscript to marketplace.

Self-help
fundamentals

Learn how to develop your idea into a structured outline that will guide your writing from start to finish. We’ll break down the process into manageable steps to ensure you can confidently move forward.

We’ll cover the key components of a women’s empowerment self-help book, including how to introduce your key message, break it down into actionable insights, and guide your readers through their own transformation process. You'll walk away with a clear framework for each chapter.

Writing an outline is one of the most critical steps in the process, but it’s also where many writers (including myself) tend to go wrong. I’ve made those mistakes, and I’ve seen other writers make them too. 

In this workshop, I’ll show you how to avoid common pitfalls, like overcomplicating your outline, missing the structure that a self-help book needs, or getting stuck in perfectionism before the writing even begins. 

You’ll learn how to create a clear, actionable outline that will keep you focused and moving forward - on purpose!

Structure, flow and
storytelling magic

You’ve got the life experience, now let’s craft a book that flows like a conversation with your best friend.

You’ll learn how to organize your chapters, create a narrative arc, and pack each page with so much value that readers won’t be able to put it down.

This is your story, and no one else can tell it the way you can. I’ll help you find your unique voice and use it to write something that’s raw, real, and unapologetically you. Whether you’re writing about healing, empowerment, or finding your inner badass, we’ll get you there.

A good book is more than just sharing information - it’s about crafting an emotional journey for your readers.

You’ll learn how to weave together your personal experiences and insights to create a narrative that keeps readers hooked from start to finish.

 

Overcome self-doubt
and writer’s block

Writer’s block isn’t just about staring at a blank page. It’s often tangled up with self-doubt, perfectionism, and that nagging voice that says, “Who do you think you are to write this book?”

In this section of the workshop, we’ll dive deep into strategies to move past both the mental blocks and the emotional resistance that hold you back.

Tame the Inner Critic - that critical voice in your head. We’re going to quieten it down! Create a Writing Habit - Waiting for inspiration? Stop. I’ll show you how to create a consistent writing routine that gets you in the flow, even when you’re not “feeling it.” You’ll discover the power of small, regular writing sessions that keep you moving forward, no matter what. Break Through the Fear of Imperfection - One of the biggest blocks writers face is the fear of not getting it right. (Spoiler alert: your first draft won’t be perfect, and that’s okay). I’ll help you embrace the messy, imperfect process of writing so you can keep going without getting stuck in endless revisions.

Practical Techniques for Staying in Flow - You’ll also walk away with practical techniques to overcome writer’s block on the spot - whether it’s freewriting, using prompts, or shifting your environment. These tools will keep you in the creative flow, even on tough days.

Publishing 101
(without the BS)

You’ve poured your heart into writing your book, and now it’s time to get it out into the world. But how do you navigate the publishing landscape?

In this part of the workshop, we’ll cut through the confusion and give you a clear, straightforward understanding of the publishing process - whether you choose to go the traditional route or self-publish.

  • Traditional Publishing vs. Self-Publishing - What’s Right for You? We’ll break down the pros and cons of both paths. Traditional publishing can offer prestige, editorial support, and distribution, but it’s a longer process with gatekeepers. Self-publishing gives you full control and a faster timeline, but you’ll be responsible for everything - from editing to marketing. You’ll leave this session with clarity on which path aligns with your goals, your timeline, and your personal resources
  • How to Get a Book Deal - Landing a traditional publishing deal can feel mysterious, but it doesn’t have to be. I’ll walk you through the key steps: creating a compelling book proposal, and pitching your manuscript to publishers. You’ll learn what agents and publishers are really looking for, and how to position yourself as a strong candidate in a competitive industry.
  • Decoding Royalties and Contracts - Publishing contracts can be overwhelming, but we’ll break them down into simple terms.
  • Marketing and Promotion - Getting Your Book into Readers’ Hands. Whether you self-publish or land a traditional deal, marketing is key to your book’s success. You’ll learn how to promote your book, build an author platform, and get media coverage. From social media strategies to networking with influencers and securing speaking gigs, I’ll give you the tools to launch your book and grow your audience.
  • What Happens After Your Manuscript Is Finished? The work isn’t over once your manuscript is complete. I’ll walk you through the next steps, including the editing process, working with beta readers, finalising your manuscript, and preparing for submission or publication.

You’ll have a clear roadmap for what to do from the moment you type “The End.”

ABOUT YOUR
MENTOR SHEILA V

When it comes to writing and publishing, I’ve lived on both sides of the process - inside the publishing houses and at the writer’s desk. I’ve been where you are. Here’s why I’m the right person to guide you through the process of writing your first book:

  • I’m an author of two books and now I’m an internationally acclaimed author, reality TV and media personality
  • Over a decade of publishing insights
  • I’ve worked in finance and operations for three of Australia’s major publishing houses—Random House, Harlequin (now HarperCollins), and Simon & Schuster. During this time, I sat in hundreds of publishing meetings, gaining firsthand knowledge of what it takes to get a book from manuscript to bookshelf. I also read countless manuscripts, understanding what works, what gets rejected, and what publishers are really looking for
  • Secured a deal with a major publisher (on my own)
  • My book was picked up by Rockpool Publishing, a leader in the spiritual and self-help space. I understand the process from the inside out, and I know what it takes to write a book that gets noticed.
  • I’ve launched two successful books internationally. These books didn’t just fill shelves, they’ve formed the foundation of my coaching and speaking career, giving me the platform to reach thousands of readers and clients around the world
  • Proven success in coaching and speaking
  • I understand how to leverage a book to build a business, grow your brand, and make a real impact in your field
  • I know firsthand the challenges of writing a book. From self-doubt to finding time to write, I’ve experienced it all. And I’ve come out the other side with a process that works. I’ll help you navigate these challenges and stay on course, using the same strategies that helped me bring my books to life

 

Let me show you everything I have learned!
