Coaching for Writers Who Want to Stop Stalling

Available for all genres—fiction, nonfiction, and memoir

Writing alone is hard. Author coaching gives you monthly editorial reviews and a clear plan so you stop stalling and start finishing.

Self-Publishing Your Bestseller in 2019: The Industry Experts’ Guide

What’s included

  • Up to 7,000 words/month reviewed with line-level editorial notes. Two passes per round. (See sample two-week schedule)

  • Month-to-month: pause when life happens, restart when ready. Revision prompts and deadlines so you never freeze.

  • 2 x 60-minute Zoom calls/month to review progress and plan next steps

How the 2-week Writing Cycle Works: Sample Schedule

Goal: move your draft forward in small, doable chunks. Two calm pushes and one clear landing every 14 days. Tiny wins that stack.

Day 1 – Kickoff (30 min)

We agree on a simple target—e.g., “Revise Chapters 4–6” or “Draft 2 new scenes.” You get a short checklist and page targets.

Days 2–6 – You Write

You write or revise. We’re available for quick questions. Expect 1–2 short check-ins from us. Not a homework assignment, more like notes and encouragement.

Day 7 – Mid-Point Check (10–15 min)

You send what you have, even if it’s messy. We spot roadblocks and suggest one small fix to keep momentum. Catching a problem on Day 7 beats fixing it on Day 14.

Days 8–12 – Finish Window

You wrap the pages. If you stall, we’ll suggest a small, specific next step to get you moving again.

Days 13–14 – Hand-Off & Feedback

You send the pages. We return margin notes and a summary of what’s working and what to tweak next. We set the next 2-week goal—or pause if you need a breather.

Co-Writing

Available for nonfiction only

You have the knowledge, the experience, the story. Now what you need is someone who knows how to shape it into a book that readers will actually finish—and recommend.

Co-writing is a true collaboration. You bring the expertise and the vision, while we bring the structure, voice development, and editorial rigor to make it sing on the page. We work together from outline to finished draft.

Ideal For

  • Those who want help writing their memoir. Thought leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, and professionals with a story or system worth sharing, who want their name on the book and their voice in every sentence.

Ghostwriting

Available for nonfiction only

Some stories need to exist—but not everyone has the time or the desire to write them word by word. That’s what ghostwriting is for.

You share your story, your knowledge, your voice, while we do the writing in the background and capture a voice that sounds authentically like you.
