Insight & Impact: A Six Week Nonfiction & Memoir Masterclass

"Author of..." – The Two Words That Change Everything

Time to walk the walk.

97% of people who want to write a book never finish.

What if you were part of the 3% who do?

The business book that cements your authority? Done.

The memoir that finally honors your legacy? Finished.

The guide that shares your hard-won wisdom? Ready to rock the world.

Whatever your topic, that book could be in your hands in just 6 weeks when you follow the proven, high-performance blueprint of Insight Impact.

Hosted by expert ghostwriter Brock Swinson, Insight Impact makes it simple, with weekly live classes and in-depth Q&As to finally get your book across the finish line.

Weeks 1-2: Build your book's architecture and positioning.
Weeks 3-5: Execute daily writing targets.
Week 6: Strategic polish and publishing pathway.

Is this actually for you?

Insight & Impact is a step-by-step nonfiction and memoir writing system designed to help you turn your experience, expertise, or life story into a finished manuscript in just six weeks.

Whether you're crafting a powerful memoir that honors your life journey, a provocative thought-leadership book that boosts your authority, or a wisdom-filled guide that changes how readers think and live, this masterclass gives you the accountability and structure to get it done.

Our students come from many walks of life, including:

The Legacy Seekers: "I've lived a life worth recording, and I don't want my lessons to disappear."  Whether it's a memoir or a collection of hard won wisdom, you feel a responsibility to get your story down. You're worried if you don't do it now, the nuances will be lost to time.

The Busy Professionals: "I have the knowledge, but I don't have the time."
You're running a business, managing a team, or consulting at a high level. You don't have the luxury of a three-month sabbatical in a cabin to "find your muse." You need a system that fits into the cracks of a demanding schedule.  

The Thought Leaders: "I'm tired of being the best-kept secret in my industry."  You're doing the work, but someone with half your experience keeps getting the keynote slots and media invites. Why? They have a book. You have the knowledge, but you need the authority.

The Action Takers: "I'm done with 'Someday' and I'm ready for 'Now'. You've bought the writing books, listened to the podcasts, and may even have a folder of starts on your desktop that went nowhere. You need accountability and structure to finally finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

The little things you should know.

Classes with Brock are held live on Zoom, and accessible from any internet-enabled device that’s compatible with the Zoom app. This includes Mac and PC laptops/desktops, and modern smart phones and tablets.

Don’t worry. All sessions are recorded so you can reference them later, and the system Brock teaches is designed so you can catch up quickly using clear daily writing targets. The goal is progress and completion, not perfect adherence to the timeline.

Most students see success by writing for 45–90 minutes per day. The blueprint is built to fit into a busy professional schedule, not something that demands a full-time writing retreat.

Then welcome home! That’s expected. This is a nonfiction system, not a creative writing workshop. If you have expertise, experience, or a professional framework to share with others, the process guides you step by step through sharing those things, clearly and authoritatively, in a manuscript.

By the end of Week 6, you will have a complete, polished nonfiction manuscript and a clear publishing pathway, whether your goal is self-publishing or exploring traditional options.

We’ll also help you understand the difference between those options, and the pros and cons, so you have a proper view ahead.

Why Write Nonfiction?

In a world of fleeting social media posts and 24-hour news cycles, a book is the only asset that scales your expertise while you sleep. Whether you're a founder, a coach, or a survivor with a story, nonfiction is the bridge between obscurity and authority. We like to think of it as the ultimate "force multiplier."

Specialists with books have an unfair advantage: they're perceived as 10x more valuable than generalists or those who rely on reputation alone. Media outlets, podcasts, and event organizers prioritize looking for authors first. The moment you become a published author, the conversation shifts – because you're no longer begging for a seat at the table... you're invited to lead the discussion.

If you have a proven process, a unique life experience, or a business framework that works, you are sitting on an information goldmine. You've spent years (maybe decades) making mistakes, testing theories, and perfecting your craft. Now it's time to put that intellectual property to work and build your authority, credibility, and voice in your industry.
