G.R.I.T. Trainer's Manual for Authors

Teach writers to finish, not just to start.

What separates published authors from people with good ideas isn't talent. It's grit — Great Resilience in Time. And grit can be taught.

Duckworth found the grittiest Spelling Bee competitors advanced furthest — not because they were smarter, but because they put in more hours. The same holds for finishing a manuscript.

This manual walks a facilitator through building grit and training writers to cultivate it through the long middle of a draft.

Includes: the complete G.R.I.T. framework, a scored G.R.I.T. assessment, guided reflections, and facilitator guidance for walking a group through building grit. 100+ pages, print-ready PDF.
