‘My favourite part has been the accountability and the positivity. It's the first time I've used a coach for my writing, and there's no way I would've been making this kind of progress without you.’
Shoni, Fully Booked Group Program
Whether traditional or self-publishing is your jam, I offer tools to emerging writers who are wanting support, accountability, and knowledge about writing and finishing their book, and the publishing industry.
But what exactly does a publishing coach do?
I’m glad you asked! My work is grounded in supporting emerging writers create confident and sustainable writing careers.
This involves cultivating an author mindset, and moving toward your first-book dreams with confidence and clarity, and support.
You deserve a publishing coach who understands what is takes to publish a debut book.
Engaging with a publishing coach is to ask for accountability to finish your first draft and make your manuscript pitch-ready.
It is addressing any problems in your manuscript or writing practice and being open to finding ways of moving through them.
It is knowing that you don’t have to do it alone.
You are not alone, dear writer.
I don’t believe in a cookie-cutter approach to writing a book. Why?
Because there is no one way to write a book!
The time you spend with me is designed to give you real-time, personalised coaching no matter what stage you’re at on your writing journey. I am making space for you to let your individual magic shine!
Together, we will map out a possible path forward that includes:
Accountability and direction: with a timeline in place, you can move forward with clarity (and a gentle nudge along the way).
Progress: learn how to nurture a consistent writing practice that allows you to make the progress you dream of making.
Mindset: let’s chat about practical tips and shifts that will make establishing (and maintaining) a sustainable writing practice feel possible.
How it works:
1. You apply for one of the four packages available.
2. We will jump on a 30 minute call to chat about your possible path to publication, your wants and needs, the support you’re looking for, and what services you want to engage with.
3. If we’re a good fit, we will begin with a 60 minute call to plan your next steps forward.
