The document outlines Kevin Bermingham's 7 secrets to successful authorship and his 90-day book writing program. It discusses that most projects fail due to lack of planning or becoming drawn out. It then details the 3 main reasons authors fail - not starting, getting lost or overwhelmed, and giving up. Bermingham provides his 7 secrets to successful planning and writing a book, which are based on Rudyard Kipling's 6 questions of what, who, why, how, when, and where. The document concludes by promoting Bermingham's 90-day book writing program to go from initial planning to published book in less than 3 months.
