The Book Doctor’s Story Prescription is a free, fillable 5-page writing diagnostic designed to help aspiring authors move from “I think I want to write a book” to a clearer sense of what they may want to write—and what they should do next.
In about 10–15 minutes, you’ll:
✍️ Explore the idea, experience, question, character, or problem that keeps returning to you
📚 Identify the kind of book you may want to write and the reader you hope to reach
🩺 Take your Book-Readiness Vital Signs and receive a readiness score
💭 Complete a 10-minute writing test to uncover why this book matters to you
📅 Create a simple weekly writing treatment plan and put your book on the calendar
Whether you are still searching for your idea or already feel ready to begin, this diagnostic will help you identify your next step.
You do not need to know the whole book. You need to write the next page.
Created by Dr. Nicholas D. Hartlep, The Book Doctor.
This is a writing and publishing self-assessment. It is not medical advice or a medical service.
