Anne Bartolucci, Ph.D., is a writing mentor, USA Today bestselling author, and psychologist. She has over twenty novels and novellas in print under her pen name Cecilia Dominic and two nonfiction books including Better Sleep for the Overachiever as herself. In her company Psych Up Academy, she brings the fun and magic of fiction to the nonfiction writing process to help heart-centered entrepreneurs write world-changing books that readers can’t help but learn from, devour, and recommend to their colleagues.

Anne talks about writing engaging books without producing an overwhelming, thesis-like tone. She explains using story-based structures where the reader is the hero, emphasizes saving “sidebar” material for future books, bonuses, or social posts to test ideas, and outlines a healthy role for AI in repurposing and outlining while warning against drafting, losing voice, and copyright issues.
