The book is already in what you have.
Most people who want to write a book have already written most of it. It is just scattered across years of talks, notes, emails and half-finished documents.
Meteor gathers all of it, finds the book inside, and writes the draft.
You send the pile. You get back chapters.
Notes and outlines
Recordings
Talks and teaching
Rough chapters
How much is enough
Enough to work from is roughly 5,000 words of notes or writing, or about an hour of recordings. If you have less than that, start with publisher feedback and we will tell you what to gather first.
Delivered as
- A Google Doc you can edit directly
- Chapter-by-chapter, with headings
- Next steps toward publishing
- Within 10 business days of receiving your material
What you get back
A real first draft, not an outline with placeholders. Something you can read start to finish, react to, and edit toward the book you meant to write.
- 01
A complete first draft
The full book, chapter by chapter, written from your material. Where your notes are thin, the draft says so plainly rather than inventing things you did not say.
- 02
A structure that holds
Chapter order, section headings and the through-line that connects them, so the argument or story builds instead of circling.
- 03
Your voice, kept
The draft uses your phrasing, your examples and your way of explaining things. It should read like you on a good day, not like a template.
- 04
Title and subtitle options
A short list of working titles and subtitles to react to, based on what the draft actually turned out to be about.
- 05
Practical next steps to publishing
A short plan for getting from this draft to a published book: what to revise first, the editing it will need, and the decisions ahead on title, cover and format.

Is this the right step?
A good fit if
- You have been talking or teaching about this for years and the material exists in many places
- You started writing and have chapters, but the book will not come together
- You know what the book is about and need someone to do the heavy lifting of the first draft
- You want something to edit rather than a blank page
Not yet if
- The book is still mostly an idea with little written or recorded
- You are not sure what the book is about or who it is for
- You want a finished, publishable manuscript rather than a first draft
If that sounds closer, start with publisher feedback.
