One-on-One Book Coaching

Plan it. Write it. Revise it. Because good stories don’t happen by accident.

Whether you’re piecing together the bones of a new novel or wrestling with a draft that won’t behave, this is a creative partnership built to meet you where you are, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

This isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personalised support for fiction writers who want structure without losing soul, and strategy that never overrides story. Together, we’ll deepen your characters, sharpen your structure, and make sure your story resonates – on the page and with your readers.

What You’ll Get:

You choose your focus – planning or revising – and we’ll shape the process to fit.

✍️ For Planning:

  • Author Accelerator Blueprint materials, including the Inside Outline
  • My Character Motivation Worksheet
  • Two deadlines per month to submit materials
  • In-depth written feedback on each submission (editorial letter and comments) with clear next steps
  • Clarity on genre expectations and market positioning
  • Two 60-minute coaching calls (one after submission) to discuss my feedback and the next steps
  • Additional tools and resources (when applicable) to clarify genre, sharpen stakes, and enrich your premise
  • Ongoing Email support
  • Accountability and momentum, so you don’t stall out before you start

🔧 For Revising:

  • Two biweekly submission deadlines per month (up to 20 pages per submission, 40 pages per month in total)
  • Two 60-minute Zoom calls, one after each submission, to discuss the feedback and next steps
  • In-depth written feedback on each submission (editorial letter and comments) with clear next steps
  • Big-picture support on structure, pacing, emotional resonance, and character
  • Ongoing Email support
  • Accountability and momentum, so you don’t stall out before you start
  • Optional add-on pages at 9USD/page if you’re moving faster or need more coverage

How it Works
We start with a free discovery call to map your needs. Based on your goal (planning or revising), I’ll send over your onboarding materials.

You’ll either work through the Blueprint at a sustainable pace (typically 4–6 deadlines), or begin bi-weekly page submissions for revision support.

Either way, you’ll get structured, developmental feedback designed to build clarity and momentum, so your novel feels like something you believe in again.

Who it's for:
  • Writers who are drafting or revising and feeling stuck
  • Writers with a promising idea who need help turning it into a solid, character-driven outline.
  • Writers who have written a draft (or three) and feel stuck, lost, or unsure what’s working.
  • Writers ready to go deeper, not just fix plot holes, but strengthen emotional stakes
  • Writers who crave expert eyes, consistent feedback, and a creative partner who’ll ask the right questions (and spot the gaps they’ve stopped seeing).
  • Writers who want to finish and feel good about what they’ve written

 

Who it's not for:
  • Writers looking only for proofreading or line edits
  • Writers who don’t want developmental feedback
  • Writers unable to commit to a regular monthly schedule
