Do you have a message that will make the world a better place? Do you have a story that will connect you with your target audience, a story that needs to be told? Let us help you! HigherLife is a leading multi-media publishing, marketing and brand development company with the capacity to elevate and amplify your message in a wide range of platforms (books, ebooks, video, curriculum, phone apps, etc.) to help you reach the widest possible audience.

In order to both inform you on the publishing process and help us know best how we can partner with you, please fill in this simple questionnaire to help us to catch the vision for your message.

I. HOW WE CAN CONNECT WITH YOU:

Please send us a copy of your resume or bio.

II. FIVE KEY QUESTIONS EVERY AUTHOR SHOULD ANSWER:

1. WHY did you write this message? Why do you believe this message is important? What was the compelling belief, vision or mission that motivated you to write this? Give us a bit of the back story that led to you wanting to publish this message.

2. WHO is your intended audience? Think about the typical person to whom you are writing--their age, gender, ethnicity, socio-economic status, etc. What are their common interests, common challenges, and common experiences? The more specific you are the better. You may even have a primary audience and a secondary audience in mind. If so, list both.

3. HOW will this message benefit the reader? You know what your book is about, but focus here on how will your book help the reader? How will your message help make their life better? What does your book promise that makes someone want to plunk down their hard-earned lunch money to pay for what you have to say?

4. WHAT is your unique message? What are you going to say that hasn't been said before or how are you going to say it differently? What will make your book compelling to read? Give us your “elevator speech”; that one or two sentence summary that best describes exactly what your book is about, who it’s for and how it will help the reader.

5. WHERE can you find your target audience? What marketing opportunities do you bring to the table? What contacts, endorsements, key connections, media access do you have that could be leveraged to help get your message out to the intended audience? How many copies do you anticipate ordering in the first
year? How committed are you to promoting the message of this book once it comes out
