Are you the next Bestselling Author?
Business owners, CEOs, celebrities, and many others used me to help them understand the ins and outs of writing a bestselling book.
Everyone has a brilliant story to tell. What matters most? How you tell your story.
Listen, it doesn’t matter if your story is pure fiction (a far-fetched fantasy you dreamed up), a life event (something you lived through), or the discovery of a process (something you learned along the way). The truth is, the world needs to hear your story. And, guess what? Whatever your story is, you are the only person who can tell it.

Who the heck is Todd Nordstrom? Yea, that’s me.
I am a 12-time New York Times best-selling ghostwriter, book marketer, author, content creator, trainer, and speaker. I have spent the last 25 years being the “go-to” guy for global thought leaders, business icons, gurus, and celebrities for ghostwriting, publishing, and marketing their books.
So, how can I help you?
What if you could learn my 25 years of experience in a day — all the knowledge, pitfalls, experience, and guidance delivered directly to you, so you can write your book — and tell your brilliant story? You can with Todd In A Box! The information and advice I’ll share with you is the exact same information and advice I give to many of the world’s most famous, respected, and applauded authors — all wrapped up in one condensed package.
What exactly is Todd In a Box?
That’s a great question. And, it’s something I’ve thought long and hard about, to offer aspiring authors an immediate advantage. So, what does Todd In a Box include?
-
A 1-Day, In-Person, Todd In a Box Workshop: You will join me, and other aspiring authors for in an intensive (realize this is 25 years bundled into a single day) conversation about what truly makes a bestselling book. Yea, I don’t even like to call this a writing workshop. I’m not your English teacher. I want to teach you how to create books that sell!
-
A 20-Module Todd In a Box Learning Experience (Prerecorded): Sure, we’ll cover a ton of information, advice, and ideas in the workshop. However, you also get to leave with a play-at-your-own-pace Todd In a Box education. Each module is between 10 and 20 minutes of recorded material. You get to take home all my failures, learning moments, and tips.
-
Todd In a Box Digital Assets: There’s a lot more to know about writing a book than just writing the actual book. So, I’ll send you home with Todd In a Box Digital assets. What are those? You get:
- A cut-and-paste book proposal structure: This is a word document that explains in detail every piece of information you need to communicate in an effective proposal. Why did I make it Word document? I want to make your life easy. You can cut and paste your information into my proven structure.
- A cut-and-paste agent pitch letter: Again, this is a word document, so you can manipulate to your heart’s content. What do you say to a Literary agent? How do you get recognized? I’ll share with you a detailed, structured, document that you simply need to fill with your information.
- A cut-and-paste book launch basic strategy: Why’d I call it basic? Well, because every book launch and author is different. However, I’ll give a detailed document that will allow you to understand where you may have strengths or weaknesses in your launch. This includes formats for:
Social Media Channel Outreach. I give you the words. You just need to tweak and send.
Blogger/Podcaster Outreach. Again, just cut-and-paste.
Traditional Press Outreach. You’re learning how to write a book. Do you really need to learn to write a Press Release? Nope. I’ll do it for you. You just need to swap the information.
-
A 30-Minute, 1:1, Telephone Coaching Session with Me: There will be a lot of information covered in the workshop. However, I don’t often get enough time to specifically learn about each person and each project—where I can give specific advice—who to contact, how to position, or ways to effectively launch. And, I want that opportunity with you.
-
Access to MY Network: Listen, finding the right agent, publisher, PR source, platform-builder, or whatever, is much like dating—people like different people. However, I’m a fan of making introductions, as long as think everyone will like each other. And, most likely, once I get to know you, I’ll be able to steer you in the right direction.

Module 1
What is a Best Seller?
What can you expect from the book-building modules in Todd In A Box? This first module will walk you through what will be in the modules and what you can expect on this journey of telling your story.
Module 2
Why Write a Book?
Like I have said before, and will say again, everyone has a story to tell. But why write a book? Why not create a social media channel and tell your story there? This module will help you understand the importance of the written word and the impact book still have on the world.
Module 3
The Meaning of Words
What is your audience comprehending? Great writing means that you are relating to readers with precision. That means, you’re choosing the right words. This module will help you clarify your intention.
Module 5
Who Is Your Audience
Who are you writing to? In this module you’ll be forced to answer this critical, yet often overlooked question. However, once you understand the answer, everything else becomes easy.
Module 5
Audience Expectations
What do you want your audience to do after reading your book? Will they be inspired? Will it engage them in meaningful conversations with other or foster new ideas? Or will they be entertained? Knowing what you want your audience to do can guide how you write your book.
Module 6
Masterful Storytelling
We spend our entire lives telling stories. If you give a presentation, you’re telling a story. If you sell to client, you’re telling a story. If you tell your significant other about your workday, you’re telling a story. This module will help you tell it better.
Module 7
Work
Work can be icky. But we want to chase our passion. However, a ton of work is involved in writing, launching, and marketing a book. This module exposes all the stuff you honestly don’t want to hear. But it’s necessary. This module acts as your cheerleader. And a cheerleader is something all of us need.
Module 8
Creating Tone
Okay, this might sound stupid. But, we all know tone counts. If a person you care about says, “I’m good,” in the wrong tone, you know things are bad. But, what does that mean in a book? What does it mean for your characters? Tone is critical to your book’s success.
Module 9
Rhythm
The key to writing a bestselling book is allowing a reader the opportunity to forget that they are reading your story, and instead lead them to believe they are reading their own story. How do you accomplish this? It’s through rhythm.
Module 10
Creating Intrigue
Alright, the word “Intrigue” might seem a bit fluffy. But, think about it. It means, “How do you create a product, reputation, and message that keeps people wanting more? This module will explain.
Module 11
Character Development
Character development is the art of breathing life into the personalities of your book, enabling them to evolve and resonate with your readers on a profound level. It takes meticulously crafting multi-dimensional characters that grow, change, and leave a lasting impact.
Module 12
Dialogue
What’s the most intriguing thing a person says? Whether you’re writing fiction or non-fiction (where everything between quotes must be factual) there are ways to even make boring dialogue, astonished captivating. “You’re not actually going to do it,” you might ask. And, I’ll respond by saying, “I just did it.”
Module 13
Punctuation
Punctuation is more than having unassuming marks in and at the end of sentences. Good punctuation can wield immense power. It can conduct rhythm, show meaning, and establish clarity, delineate thought, direct emphasis, and create emotion.
Module 14
Persistence
You will need a relentless commitment to continue to put “pen to paper,” even when the words elude you and the path forward is obscured. Persistence is the force that urges you to press on, weather the storm, and take each step one at a time.
Module 15
Brilliant Titles
Books sell because of their titles and subtitles. Do you have a title that sings, or a title that sucks? In this module, you’ll get a glimpse at some of the bestselling books of all time, started with bad titles
Module 16
Editing
Okay, so I’m not your English teacher. However, I will tell you that while I believe most Editors are nit-picking scoundrels, they’re also the most brilliant people you’ll ever encounter. A misplaced comma can destroy your point.
Module 17
Service
What do your readers want from you when they read your book? Believe it or not, they want to be served — just like if you were their server at a restaurant serving them the delicious crab legs they want.
Module 18
Publishing
Should you self-publish? Or, should you take the traditional publishing route? And, what’s the difference? In this module, you’ll learn the difference, and you’ll gain a greater understanding of which path benefits your dream
Module 19
Finishing
It may seem easy, but for many writers Finishing a book is much more difficult than starting a book. Why? It’s because by the time you reach the end, you may have invested weeks, months, years, into to writing process. Guess what? In that time, your ideas have evolved. I’ll talk to you about the strength, and courage it takes to finish.
