Nick Boothman has written six books that have been read by well over 4 million people. He has been invited to speak at over 2000 events and, you know what – he never set out to be a writer. For 25 years he was a fashion photographer. However, when someone suggested he turn one of his speeches about networking into a book he did just that. He taught himself how to do it. Nick realised early on, unlike me, that everything was written to a formula and that writing a book could be easier than he ever dreamed if only he followed a few rules. Those rules, include his theories on the ‘shish kebab’, how to ‘think in colour’ and how you can write a book in under two weeks. His latest title, How to Write a $aleable Book in 10-minute bursts of MADNESS, is crammed with tips that make it all seem possible.

On 10th June, Nick was my guest at an In Conversation with Jo Parfitt masterclass, absolutely free to attend. I asked him questions about his secrets and the lively audience had a chance to ask theirs too.
