Congratulations , you are now officially a member of Write That Book Masterclass Summer ‘21.
It’s going to be three months you will always remember.
This is
a very important email. Please take some time to read it carefully and complete each part.
It feels like a lot. But just take it one step at a time.
Our
experience has shown that if you act now and get this all done you will avoid challenges down the line.
You’ll
also avoid ‘Michael’s Reminder Emails’ - nobody wants to receive a ‘Michael Reminder’ :).
Important Dates (we hope
they won’t need to change, but if they need to, we will give you plenty of warning).
THESE DATES ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS EMAIL.
OK here's some more info:
LIVE Write That Book Masterclass Zoom Meetings
These
events take place on Zoom and will last for approximately 90 minutes. They will include a training session by me and an opportunity for you to catch up with your Accountability Group.
Zoom Room FOR TRAINING EVENTS
We use the same Zoom Room for all Group Zoom Meetings.
Add these details to your calendar, too. The meeting room is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87396187328
Or you
can use this shortcut: www.MichaelHeppell.com/ZoomWTB
And we are doing a special Zoom School event on November 7th at 6pm just to make sure everyone is comfortable with the platform.
OK,
take a breath.
Breathe in….. and out….. x 3

Communication and The Community
We
think it’s very important to be clear and avoid any misunderstandings before we start with the programme.
We have
lots of lovely members of Write That Book Masterclass. This is a group training programme, which means Vanessa and I will be unable to respond to Direct Messages or emails unless it is a private or technical matter which cannot be dealt with in the group. If you do need to email, please use hello@michaelheppell.com
The
best way to get my attention is to tag @MichaelHeppellPro in a post on the Facebook group or to ask a question in the Live Trainings.
Showing Up and Accountability Groups
You will see one of the questions in the onboarding Q & A is whether you would
like to be part of an Accountability Group.
So far, every Masterclass author who has published and sold their book has been active in their Accountability Group. This is not a coincidence.
You
don’t have to be in an Accountability Group, but if you do choose to be a member it's important that you commit to showing up and supporting your fellow group members.
You can meet and communicate in various ways (WhatsApp, small Zoom meetings) but we discourage setting up additional Facebook Groups as this can be a distraction. Plus, you will get more response by posting in the main group and #ing your group than setting up smaller groups.
Only join an Accountability Group if you will show up, support others and are committed to getting the most out of this Masterclass.
Privacy, Feedback and Commercial Activity
This
will become a very close group. We ask you to respect members’ privacy and the ideas they share.
Feedback should always be given in a positive and constructive way. We're not here to tell each other that everything is fabulous, but at the same time we're not here to dash people’s dreams.
We don't allow commercial activity in the Masterclass - unless of course you have a new book to sell!
I'm sure everyone would rather focus on writing a book than giving polite responses to someone trying to sell you a product or service. Let's be cool.
However this year we have established a prefer suppliers list which will be published soon.
If you would like to be listed on there for your expertise please email hello@michaelheppell.com with a brief description and we'll have a chat.
Your ONE Email
Address
It's
vitally important that you use the same email address for each part of the Masterclass. It’s how we assign groups, send important information and stay in touch.
The
email we have for you is the one this email was sent to. If this NOT the email address you wish to use, please let us know immediately by replying to this email with the correct details.
Please ensure you have my emails marked as a ‘safe sender’ If you’re not sure what that means, ask The Google. We also have a backup plan…
SMS
For this Masterclass, we are using SMS (text messaging) as an additional communication tool. You may have had a few reminders this week.
In the Q & A you will be asked if you would like to receive SMS (Text) messages. They will only be sent for announcements and essential information and you must ‘opt in’ to receive them. If you are outside of the UK we are unable to send SMS messages unless you have a UK number. We're looking for a workaround.
Onboarding
Q&A
Finally, please take a few minutes to complete the Masterclass Onboarding Q&A; this will open as a separate document.
We need this document completed by Thursday November 4th at the very latest. So go on… Do It Now.
It's here: Onboarding
Q&A
That’s it (bet you’re relieved).
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I’ll be popping up at times during the next week but you should know I’m going offline for a few days to un-square my eyes! Vanessa will be watching 👀.
Be Brilliant!
