Book Coaching
Get personalized, on-going support, feedback, and guidance from an industry professional as you craft a novel that readers will love.
You might benefit from a book coach if...
You have a book idea but aren't quite sure how to get it on the page.
You are suffering from self-doubt, wondering whether you're even a good enough writer to craft a great book.
You are creatively stuck and don't know how to move forward or improve your draft.
You worry that even if you do manage to write a book, it will never be quite good enough and no one will like it.
You've read books, attended conferences, joined a writing group, but still aren't sure of the best way to tell your story.
Wouldn't it be nice if...
You had a clear roadmap to follow from the beginning to the end of your draft.
And...
You had personalized, actionable feedback, so you knew what you needed to do to write forward, while feeling inspired and motivated.
And...
You had someone to bounce ideas off of, or problem-solve with, who could be your invested cheerleader and keep your project on-track.
And...
You could work with an industry professional, from whom you could learn storytelling secrets and craft tips, so that you can hook readers?
