Book Coaching

If you are struggling with clarity, narrative structure, and procrastination, I can help you develop your stories with feedback and solutions. My job is to keep you accountable with either weekly or monthly achievable goals and self-confidence, and to help you finish your book by personally leading you through your writing dilemmas.

Too many wonderful stories languish in bottom drawers — great ideas and lovely writing abandoned because of a lack of confidence. Let me help you with your next best steps for your non-fiction or fiction project. Let’s develop your work together, paragraph by paragraph, page by page, chapter by chapter, until you write The End.

Our promise

  • Accountability and guidance
  • Weekly/monthly reviews and feedback
  • Goal-setting and solutions
  • Editing and rewriting
  • A shoulder to cry on
  • A hand to high five

Expertise

Memoir

I am ideally suited to working with your memoir. Having written my own bestselling memoir, The Promise, and coached autobiographies for more than 20 years, I can help you to finesse your story by concentrating on what thematically truly matters to you. ‘Life writing’ is about your journey and has a distinct story arc. How has your life challenged and changed you? We can set up your story and scenes to reflect your transformation.

With weekly or monthly text deadlines, I’ll return your copy with track changes, as well as documents on next-step ideas. We’ll meet weekly or monthly on Zoom to discuss your writing and your best way forward.
