“I wish someone had told me earlier that this is how good writing can feel.”
— C. Brown
Does this sound familiar?
You have a fantastic idea for a story, but no idea how to get that idea onto the page.
You want to write a book — maybe you’ve even attempted it before — but nothing seems to tie together the way it does in your head.
You feel like you’ve tried everything: podcasts, books, workshops, conferences, writing groups…and yet, you still don’t have a first draft.
You know you have it in you to create a beautiful novel, one that you’re proud of, and one that is good. But the entire process feels totally overwhelming and you don’t even know where to begin.
You’re fighting against self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or writer’s block. You’re just…stuck, with no clear way forward.
It doesn’t have to be that way.
Imagine what it would feel like instead, if…
You have a customized, crystal-clear roadmap in front of you, so you never have to worry about what to do next.
You woke up every day so proud of the story you’ve created.
You feel excited, inspired, and confident every single time you sit down to write.
You received personalized feedback on your work at every single stage of the process.
You’ve created a consistent writing process that works for you.
You have someone you trust to brainstorm with, to talk through your ideas, and deepen your understanding of craft.
You’re getting closer and closer to a finished draft — that previously far-fetched dream is finally within your grasp.
Because here's the thing…
Writing a novel is hard work. Going at it alone is even harder. But with a book coach by your side, you have a pro right there with you, supporting you through the process so you can write the book that’s been waiting, impatiently, inside your soul.
The truth is that in years past, editors at the publishing companies would work directly with writers. They would do the work that a book coach does now: helping them through revisions, tightening their manuscript until it was ready to be published.
But times have changed, and now, that staff and support is gone. If you’re submitting a manuscript to an agent, it needs to be completely polished.
A book coach gives you your best shot at writing the novel of your dreams and getting it published.
I need this. Let’s do it!

Accountability
One of the biggest challenges for any writer is staying motivated and disciplined. It's so easy to get lost in the vast sea of distractions – social media, Netflix binges, or (let’s be totally honest) staring blankly into space. But a book coach holds you accountable. We’re your writing BFF, checking in on your progress, and making sure you stay on track with your goals. It's like having a personal trainer for your writing muscles, keeping you fit and in shape.
Individual guidance
As writers, we can be (and often are) our harshest critics — getting tangled in self-doubt and imposter syndrome comes naturally. "Am I good enough? Will anyone even want to read my book?" These questions can gnaw at your confidence like angry little mosquitos on a hot summer day. But guess what? A book coach is there to squash those doubts and build you up. We’ve seen countless writers go through the same struggles, and we know how to nurture your potential and guide you into the confident, badass writer that you are at your core.
Tailored support
A book coach is like having your own personal Ted Lasso at your side. We’re here to say, "You can do it! You just have to believe!" But we’re also here to guide you through the murky waters of writing, to provide constructive feedback, and help you develop your unique writing style and voice. We cheer for your successes and give you a gentle nudge when you need to tighten up your plot or flesh out your characters.
Sure, you can join a writing group or attend workshops, but a book coach offers that personal touch that makes all the difference. We tailor our guidance to your specific needs and help you work on the areas where you need the most improvement. It's like having a writing mentor, cheerleader, and friend all rolled into one.
A personalized roadmap
Maybe you’re struggling with writer's block. We've all been there, staring at a blank page, feeling utterly clueless about what to write next. It's like your creativity decided to go on a vacation without telling you (so rude). That's where a book coach comes in. We’re seasoned pros who've tackled writer's block — over and over (and over) — like a boss, and we know exactly how to unleash your creativity and get those words flowing again.
Or, perhaps it’s the practical side of publishing that’s challenging you. It can be a treacherous maze, and navigating it without a map can leave you feeling lost and frustrated. But we know the ins and outs of the publishing world and can guide you through the process, from polishing your manuscript to finding the right literary agent or publisher.
