Jerry Jenkins – Nonfiction Blueprint
Let me walk you through every step of the repeatable system I’ve used to write more than five dozen nonfiction books (including multiple New York Times bestsellers) — so you can finally write the best book you can imagine, one you’d be thrilled to share with the world.
Maybe you’ve experienced something profound, solved a major problem, or gained insight that could change someone’s life, just like it changed yours.
You have a message for people who desperately need it, so you want to write a nonfiction book.
BUT…
You’re afraid.
• Afraid your writing won’t be good enough.
• Afraid of pouring your heart out on the page—and having your book rejected.
• Afraid someone will say, “I expected more from you.”
• Afraid no one will care what you have to say.
That kind of fear can paralyze you and make you procrastinate. You keep promising yourself you’ll take another run at this tomorrow, or next week, or next month.
But years later, you still haven’t done anything about that book you’ve long wanted to write.
It’s easy to tell yourself you don’t have the time, but the truth is, we always find time for what we really want to do.
If you don’t break through procrastination, the message you’re so passionate to share will wither and die.
Believe me, I know where you’re coming from.
Even after writing over 200 books (over a third of them nonfiction), I STILL procrastinate.
At some point during the writing of every book, I wonder why I ever thought I could do this.
But before I go on, let me introduce myself.
I’m Jerry Jenkins, the author of over 200 books, including 21 New York
Times bestsellers. You may know me for my most popular novel series,
Left Behind, but you may not know that I cut my teeth writing nonfiction.
Many of my New York Times bestsellers have been as-told-to biographies.
So how have I been able to overcome fear, push through procrastination, and succeed?
By landing on a proven system I’ve used over and over to write books people want to read.
The right system will show you not only the skills you need to polish but will also give you the discipline and the plan to perhaps become a nonfiction author.
I created this A-to-Z program to walk you through every step and help you finally achieve the result your message deserves — no matter your nonfiction genre.
Introducing Nonfiction Blueprint: My Most Comprehensive NonfictionWriting Course Ever
Whether you’re starting from scratch or have tried before, my goal is to give you the best chance to succeed with your manuscript.
No one can promise you’ll produce an award-winning book that sells tens of millions of copies, but I can guarantee this: Apply my proven methods, and you’ll write the best book you can imagine.
Nonfiction Blueprint reveals my repeatable writing process in its entirety.
I lay out every session for you step by step, so you’ll always know exactly what to do next — regardless of genre.
How Does It Work?
The program consists of over 70 video lessons that walk you through every step of writing your nonfiction book, mentoring you through the entire process.
We start with your idea.
Then I help you create a structure and outline.
We cover crafting an opener that grabs the reader by the throat, maintaining tension that keeps readers with you through what I call the Marathon of the Middle, and leads to a compelling ending.
Nonfiction Blueprint removes the fear and guesswork that may have demoralized you in the past. You simply log into the website and start with a brief training video that walks you through your next step — so you’ll always know what to do next.
Best of all? You advance at your own pace, fitting the curriculum to your specific writing schedule — which I also help you design, based on your calendar and lifestyle!
I can’t tell you how many writers heard about Your Novel
Blueprint and asked me for a nonfiction version of the course.
So I obliged, and I’m proud of what our team produced!
Look at what the inaugural members of Nonfiction Blueprint are saying about their experience:

An Overview of the 4-Part Process to
Help You Write Your Nonfiction Book
PA R T I :
Laying the Foundation
In this section, I help you avoid problems typical to nonfiction writers: Fear of failure, not knowing where to start, hitting a brick wall after 30 pages or so, you name it. Imagine how much more confident and motivated you’ll be after laying the proper groundwork for your book.
You’ll learn:
How to finally create a writing schedule you can stick to (and I walk you through creating yours)
How to find your unique writing voice within just minutes
Why you need an outline before writing your nonfiction book, and how to create one
How to avoid coming off preachy
The classic structure that changed my career decades ago (and which I’ve used to write everything since — fiction and nonfiction)
How to unlock a wellspring of powerful true stories to tell in your book
How fiction techniques bring your nonfiction book to life
How to market your book to agents and publishers
Plus a lot more!
And that’s all in just Part I of four parts! See how much you need to know even before you start writing, so you don’t end up lost in the middle?
PA R T I I :
Beginning the Writing
Here we spend a few sessions on your first page alone — where many nonfiction writers get hung up. We’ll get yours to where you’re thrilled with it before moving on, so you’ll be motivated to keep rolling.
You’ll learn:
My secret to building a powerful sense of accomplishment and momentum during your very first brief writing session
Everything I know about writing an opener that hooks your reader from the first sentence Little-known techniques for crafting a killer first page (failing at this is the #1 reason manuscripts get rejected)
How to become a ferocious self-editor — you’ll see actual hands-on revision in action, the kind countless writers have told me is their favorite, most immediately applicable training
And a lot more
PA R T I I I :
Establishing a Writing Routine
Here, I bring you through your first several chapters and share my best secrets to help you cement habits that will carry you through the full process.
You’ll also learn:
5 powerful ways to raise the stakes and craft high-energy scenes — just as important in nonfiction books as in novels
The key to triggering the theater of your reader’s mind — to so captivate him that he forgets he’s reading
The crucial need to tell the hard truth in biographical writing
The Author’s Golden Rule — which I advise you post where you’ll be reminded of it as you write
And a lot more
PA R T I V:
Finishing Well
By the time we reach the last section of Nonfiction Blueprint, you’ll have confidently written roughly the first quarter of your manuscript and reached the
Marathon of the Middle. To finish well, you have to do more than just endure the middle. You must thrive there and keep things moving for the reader’s sake. I give you everything you need to complete the marathon and drive toward the finish.
So Part IV is designed to see you all the way to the end. That’s why I’ve peppered it with a truckload of guidance and encouragement to help you through some of the toughest parts of your nonfiction book.
You’ll learn:
How certain nonfiction books become phenomenons
Secrets to keeping your reader hooked all the way to the end
The crucial role Theme plays in a nonfiction book
Encouraging reminders of why you started this journey, and how to stay inspired until the last page 2 simple secrets to an epic ending readers will remember forever
Guidance through becoming happy with every word before you shop your manuscript to agents and publishers
My goal is that by the end of this course, you’ll have written a nonfiction book you can’t wait to submit !
How would you feel knowing a tribe of loyal readers is discussing your book online?
Might it pave the way to speaking engagements?
Imagine emotional fan letters telling you how your work changed their lives.
Imagine being interviewed, signing books, and spreading a powerful message that could even outlive you.
Every year, unknown writers become published authors.
But I won’t sugarcoat it — not many break through, because most manuscripts submitted to publishers are awful.
The good news is, agents and publishers long for quality books. They want you to succeed.
If you use this proven system to write a book, you give yourself a much better chance to have the publishing world take notice.
I can’t guarantee a bestseller or even a contract, but I can guarantee this:
Use my proven Nonfiction Blueprint system, and you’ll write your best manuscript. I’ll show you what it takes to make it all it can be. It’s up to you to follow the blueprint.
Whether you land a traditional publishing contract — where they pay you rather than the other way around — or choose to self-publish, your new book will have the best chance to resonate with readers.
If you believe that would make it worth investing in this program, read on…
And because I want to make this as accessible as possible, I’ll go a step further:
I know even that bargain price requires a serious commitment from you, so I want to reward your decision with five amazing bonuses that come with your membership.
But first, a promise:
Let me walk you through every step of the repeatable system I’ve used to write more than five dozen nonfiction books (including multiple New York Times bestsellers) — so you can finally write the best book you can imagine, one you’d be thrilled to share with the world.

Introducing Nonfiction Blueprint: My
Most Comprehensive NonfictionWriting Course Ever
A few years ago, I created a similar course for fiction writers — and this happened:
I’ve recently had offers of representation from 2 agents, due in large part to the excellent tutoring of Jerry Jenkins. I didn’t know what self-editing really meant until joining Your Novel Blueprint and Jerry’s
Guild. Many thanks, Jerry.”
– Ted Bull
“It feels like the book is just writing itself!”
– Karen Saari
“The assignments were incredibly useful. As a trying-to-reform nonoutliner, I rolled my eyes at first, but once I got down to doing the work, it sparked so much information I needed! I am working on the second novel in a series, so I thought I had all the information I needed, but the characters have changed since the last time I did anything like this. New issues, new challenges, new desires. And plot points kept falling out of my pen as I wrote!”
– Julie Duffy
“I’ve published more than 75 books in the last 20 years and this is the best hands-on writing instruction I’ve ever seen. Whether you’re new or have written for years, it will help.”
– Chris Fabry100

If you believe that would make it worth investing in this program, read on…
This program is for you if…
…you’ve never been able to finish your manuscript. Maybe you’ve even enrolled in other online courses, but nothing has worked. I believe my approach is different from anything you’ve tried. I offer a proven plan that helps you smash through procrastination and finally finish your manuscript.
…you’re thinking, “Even if I DO finish my book, it won’t be any good.” You’ll be pleased to discover how important learned skills can be to your writing. I teach you everything I know and help you master skills that will improve your writing.
…you’re stuck part-way through your manuscript and feel lost. The steps I walk you through can help you break free. You’ll learn an outlining process that has proven to unlock a vault of ideas and momentum you need to finish that book.
…you’ve always dreamt of being a published author. My system gives you the best chance to succeed and shows you exactly what to do, every step of the way.
…you’ve finished a manuscript, but you know it needs work. This course will help you revitalize it.
This program is NOT for you if…
…you can’t commit to at least 6 hours of writing time per week. You won’t find the time. You’ll have to make the time. What are you willing to give up to make your dream a reality? An hour of TV here? A party or concert there? If
you’re not willing to sacrifice such things to make time to pursue your writing dream, you may not want this badly enough to make it worth it.
…you expect this to be easy. I make it simple, but not easy. Your book won’t write itself, even with all I teach you. You have to do the writing. If you follow the process I lay out, you’ll finish the best manuscript you’re capable of. But if you want easy, this course is not for you.
Where Will You Be a Year from Now?
I know what it’s like to be where you are right now.
You long to improve. Long to finish your book. Long to be published. Long to get your message out.
You don’t lack desire or passion. You just want to know,
How do I actually do this?
I’ve designed Nonfiction Blueprint as the bridge from where you are now to where you want to be.
That’s why I’ll give you 30 days just to see if it feels right.
Give it a shot and if you don’t feel you’re making progress, I’ll give you a full refund.
Just think…
Laissez-moi vous guider à travers chaque étape du système reproductible que j’ai utilisé pour écrire plus de cinq douzaines de livres de non-fiction (y compris plusieurs best-sellers du New York Times) – afin que vous puissiez enfin écrire le meilleur livre que vous puissiez imaginer, celui qui vous ravira. à partager avec le monde.
Peut-être avez-vous vécu quelque chose de profond, résolu un problème majeur ou acquis des connaissances qui pourraient changer la vie de quelqu’un, tout comme cela a changé la vôtre.
Vous avez un message pour les personnes qui en ont désespérément besoin, vous souhaitez donc écrire un livre de non-fiction.
MAIS…
Tu a peur.
• Vous avez peur que votre écriture ne soit pas assez bonne.
• Peur de mettre tout votre cœur sur la page et de voir votre livre rejeté.
• Peur que quelqu’un dise : « J’attendais plus de toi. »
• Vous avez peur que personne ne se soucie de ce que vous avez à dire.
Ce genre de peur peut vous paralyser et vous faire tergiverser. Vous continuez à vous promettre que vous recommencerez demain, la semaine prochaine ou le mois prochain.
Mais des années plus tard, vous n’avez toujours rien fait pour ce livre que vous souhaitiez écrire depuis longtemps.
C’est facile de se dire qu’on n’a pas le temps, mais la vérité c’est qu’on trouve toujours du temps pour ce qu’on a vraiment envie de faire.
Si vous ne parvenez pas à surmonter la procrastination, le message que vous êtes si passionné à partager se fanera et mourra.
Croyez-moi, je sais d’où vous venez.
Même après avoir écrit plus de 200 livres (dont plus d’un tiers sont des non-fiction), je tergiverse TOUJOURS.
À un moment donné au cours de l’écriture de chaque livre, je me demande pourquoi j’ai pensé pouvoir faire ça.
Mais avant de continuer, permettez-moi de me présenter.
Je m’appelle Jerry Jenkins, auteur de plus de 200 livres, dont 21 New York.
Best-sellers du temps. Vous me connaissez peut-être pour ma série de romans la plus populaire,
Left Behind, mais vous ne savez peut-être pas que je me suis fait les dents en écrivant des non-fictions.
Beaucoup de mes best-sellers du New York Times sont des biographies telles que racontées.
Alors, comment ai-je réussi à surmonter la peur, à surmonter la procrastination et à réussir ?
En atterrissant sur un système éprouvé que j’ai utilisé à maintes reprises pour écrire des livres que les gens veulent lire.
Le bon système vous montrera non seulement les compétences que vous devez perfectionner, mais vous donnera également la discipline et le plan pour peut-être devenir un auteur de non-fiction.
J’ai créé ce programme de A à Z pour vous guider à travers chaque étape et vous aider enfin à obtenir le résultat que votre message mérite, quel que soit votre genre de non-fiction.
Présentation du plan de non-fiction : mon cours d’écriture de non-fiction le plus complet jamais conçu
Que vous partiez de zéro ou que vous ayez déjà essayé, mon objectif est de vous donner les meilleures chances de réussir votre manuscrit.
Personne ne peut promettre que vous produirez un livre primé qui se vendra à des dizaines de millions d’exemplaires, mais je peux le garantir : appliquez mes méthodes éprouvées et vous écrirez le meilleur livre que vous puissiez imaginer.
Nonfiction Blueprint révèle mon processus d’écriture reproductible dans son intégralité.
Je vous présente chaque session étape par étape, afin que vous sachiez toujours exactement quoi faire ensuite, quel que soit le genre.
Comment ça marche?
Le programme comprend plus de 70 leçons vidéo qui vous guident à travers chaque étape de la rédaction de votre livre de non-fiction, vous guidant tout au long du processus.
Nous commençons par votre idée.
Ensuite, je vous aide à créer une structure et un plan.
Nous abordons la création d’une introduction qui prend le lecteur à la gorge, en maintenant une tension qui maintient les lecteurs avec vous tout au long de ce que j’appelle le marathon du milieu et mène à une fin convaincante.
Nonfiction Blueprint élimine la peur et les conjectures qui auraient pu vous démoraliser dans le passé. Il vous suffit de vous connecter au site Web et de commencer par une brève vidéo de formation qui vous guide à travers votre prochaine étape — afin que vous sachiez toujours quoi faire ensuite.
Le meilleur de tous? Vous avancez à votre rythme, en adaptant le programme à votre emploi du temps d’écriture spécifique – que je vous aide également à concevoir, en fonction de votre calendrier et de votre style de vie !
Je ne peux pas vous dire combien d’écrivains ont entendu parler de votre roman
Blueprint et m’a demandé une version non fictionnelle du cours.
J’ai donc accepté et je suis fier de ce que notre équipe a produit !
