Book Coaching

Are you writing a book? Spend an hour with me planning your project, busting through blocks, or picking my brain about the self-publishing process. It’s up to you!

During your book coaching session we’ll meet 1:1 via Zoom to discuss whatever part of the writing and publishing process you’re currently in. These are productive working sessions, and I’m glad to help you in whatever way I can.

I’ve worked with authors on all types of projects. From poetry and memoir to children’s books and self-help, I can help you navigate the murky waters of publishing and get your writing project feeling fun again.

I adore working with authors and can’t wait to hear about your project.

During our sessions we can cover:

Planning/outlining your book

I am a big-picture thinker who loves to look at things from 30,000 feet. Plotting is one of my favorite pastimes, and I can help you organize your thoughts into an actionable outline that makes the writing part feel doable and clear. I have experience coaching authors through both fiction and nonfiction planning.

PROVIDING writing accountability and cheerleading

Sometimes all we need is someone to help us feel seen and heard, especially in the midst of a huge writing project, and I am here for you. I love meeting with authors to discuss their writing, hear how they’re feeling, and support them through mental and energetic blocks. The writing life can feel a bit solitary and insular at times, and book coaching sessions can offer the perfect antidote to that.

NAVIGATING the self-publishing process

As a self-published author myself, I know how daunting the writing and publishing process can be. I have published with both IngramSpark and Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing and can guide you through the ins and outs of both. We can also use your book coaching time to upload your book together via shared screen on Zoom. I know how valuable it can be to have someone there to hold your hand and cheer you on when you get to that point in the publishing process.

CREATING A book marketing PLAN

These days even traditionally-published authors are being charged with marketing their own books. I love helping authors create fun, doable marketing plans to promote their beautiful books and celebrate the culmination of all their hard work. Some of my strengths include crafting enticing book descriptions and helping authors find unique ways to think smaller while making a bigger impact.
