Many experts and entrepreneurs dream of writing a book. They want to share their ideas, build their authority, and create a lasting impact on their audience. But when it comes time to actually start, they hit a wall—unsure where to begin, what steps to take, or how to do it without getting lost in the process.
That’s exactly why I created Trivium Writing’s “War Chest”—a carefully curated collection of tools, templates, books, and resources I’ve developed over the years as a writing coach, ghostwriter, and author. After working with more than 130 clients, I’ve seen the patterns that lead to success—and the roadblocks that stop people from ever getting their book written.
This article isn’t just a list of links. It’s your strategic toolkit—the same one I give my clients—designed to take you from idea to impact with confidence. Whether you're a coach, consultant, thought leader, or creative entrepreneur, the resources below will help you write the book that sets you apart.
Writing a book is no longer just a bucket-list item or a creative pursuit—it’s a high-leverage business strategy. When done right, a book becomes more than words on paper. It becomes a platform, a sales tool, and a legacy project all in one.
Books build trust faster than almost anything else. They instantly position you as an authority in your space, attract your ideal audience, and open doors to opportunities—whether that’s speaking gigs, media features, or high-ticket clients. For coaches, consultants, and service-based entrepreneurs, a book doesn’t just tell your story—it sells your story.
I’ve helped over 130 clients write, publish, and leverage their books, and I’ve seen the transformation firsthand. They go from uncertain and stuck to booked out and in-demand—not because they shouted louder, but because they had a book that spoke for them.
And that’s what the Trivium Writing War Chest is here to help you do.
If you're a coach, consultant, expert, or creative entrepreneur, this toolkit was built for you.
Maybe you're an experienced professional with a powerful story to tell. Or maybe you've developed a signature framework that transforms people’s lives or businesses. You know a book would elevate your authority, but the process feels overwhelming. You’re not alone—and you’re exactly who this War Chest was created for.
This resource hub is for:
Book lovers who want to go from consumer to creator
First-time authors seeking clarity, structure, and confidence
Deep thinkers who care about substance, not just sales tactics
Service-based entrepreneurs ready to scale their business with a nonfiction book
Thought leaders looking to make a bigger impact with their message
Whether you’re looking for free books, diverse book-writing tools, or new resources to help you take the next step, this collection will guide you.
Writing a book is a solitary task—but it doesn’t have to be a lonely one. That’s why I created The Word Leader Facebook Group: a free, private community for deep-thinking entrepreneurs and business owners who want to write books that elevate their brand and change lives.
Inside the group, we provide a supportive, high-level environment where members ask questions, share progress, and learn practical strategies for writing and publishing nonfiction books. Whether you’re still exploring ideas or halfway through your manuscript, this space will help you stay inspired, focused, and accountable.
We talk about everything from book structure and storytelling to mindset and marketing. And the best part? You’re surrounded by people just like you—leaders who care about their message and want to do it justice on the page.

Even the best writers never stop learning. These diverse books have stood the test of time and continue to shape how authors, thinkers, and communicators approach their craft. I recommend them to clients constantly—and they’ve influenced how I teach writing.
Here are some of my top picks:
A must-read for critical thinkers, this book teaches how to read analytically so you can absorb, evaluate, and apply knowledge—essential for nonfiction writers.
Concise, classic, and clear. This small book packs a punch when it comes to grammar and sentence construction.
A masterclass in clarity. Zinsser teaches how to write nonfiction that is both thoughtful and readable.
A modern gem for researchers, content creators, and idea-heavy authors. This book helps you develop a note-taking system that actually leads to writing.
These are the kinds of new books and timeless resources that serious nonfiction authors keep close by.
The truth is, your book doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to be written. The authors who succeed aren’t always the most talented—they’re the ones who commit to the process, use the right tools, and stay connected to a community that supports them.
