Why does this challenge exist?
Four years ago, I ran a 5 Day writing challenge and landed my first client. Since then, I have helped dozens of folks write and publish their book after years of struggling on their own. What has changed since then? Nothing!
People are still struggling to write their book because they believe they can do it on their own. Scattered thoughts and no system leaves folks frustrated and defeated. The truth is, I wasn't able to write my first book until after I did two things. One, I joined a 5 Day Challenge, YES, my first book came after I learned how to write it during a challenge just like the one I'm running. And the second thing I did, was invest in myself.
Instead of reinventing the wheel, I decided to launch the same type of challenge that helped me four years ago. Check out my Ted Talk where I share exactly how I help authors go from frustrated to finished.

What are participants saying?
Jessica V.
The coaching sessions have been so helpful and powerful, I think Jori has done an excellent job guiding them.
I've enjoyed the motivation, the amount of knowledge that's been shared, and the constant encouragement.
Timi M.
I enjoyed telling my story to someone who could see it and add to my vision. Because usually I tell the story and it is well received but all people can offer is sympathy for my inability to move forward.
I appreciate having someone share in my dream and lend me assistance. Until now this has solely existed in my mind and progressed solely by my own energy and drive.
Sabrina V.
There is a fire that has been ignited. I see my opportunity to reach parents and educators that works with children on the spectrum to help make their lives meaningful.
I love the structure and the ability to have another brain to help put my thoughts together.
Who is my guide?
Jori O’Neale is a 12-time published, 2-time best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and seasoned storytelling strategist who specializes in helping people finally finish the books they feel called to write. As co-owner of a publishing company, she has walked hundreds of writers step-by-step through the book-writing and publishing process using a voice-first, belief-centered approach that honors both story and purpose.
This is the exact framework Jori has used—and taught consistently for the past four years—with proven results for writers who want clarity, confidence, and completion.
What will we explore?
DAY 1 — Believe Before You Begin
Reclaim your voice + reframe what it means to be a writer.
DAY 2 — Mining My IP (Part 1): Dig It Out
Pull out your invisible archive — everything you’ve already said or taught.
DAY 3 — Mining My IP (Part 2): Shape the Spark
What’s worth building on? Now that the raw IP is out, it’s time to discern the message that’s rising to the top.
DAY 4 — Interview Your Future Self
Clarity often comes from vision. Anchor into the why and who the book is for.
DAY 5 — Commit to the Next Step
Finish What You Start — Even If It’s Small
This is an execution container — not a lecture series.
