One-on-One Book Coaching
A professional, published author and coach will work with you virtually (via phone, Zoom, or Facetime) to help you holistically, focusing both on the writing process and the work. We have experts prepared to help you with non-fiction or fiction.
You may need a coach if:
You are at the beginning of a project and don’t know where to start.
You are stuck in the middle of a project that you are passionate about and need a gentle nudge and some guidance as to how to move forward.
You have gotten feedback on your manuscript but don’t know how to begin the rewrite.
Here’s what you’ll receive with every coaching package:
Individualized guidance on how to begin or proceed, including outlines and proven organizational methods.
A thorough manuscript review (if you have already begun writing) and a reverse outline.
Customized time management and accountability feedback.
