Book coaching
When you need a trusted companion for the writing journey.
Manuscript coaching provides gentle guidance and thoughtful support as you nurture your project from seed of an idea to flourishing draft. Unlike editing, which focuses on polishing completed work, coaching meets you wherever you are in the creative process and helps you discover the story that wants to emerge.
This service is designed for writers who:
Are beginning their first book and crave gentle guidance through the process
Have a draft in progress but feel uncertain about the path forward
Want thoughtful feedback and encouragement to maintain momentum
Need help discovering their authentic voice and natural storytelling rhythm
Prefer collaborative support rather than writing in isolation
How we work together
Manuscript coaching unfolds at your own pace through one-on-one sessions and detailed written feedback on your pages. Most writers find a rhythm of 1-2 sessions per month plus feedback on submitted work, but we'll discover what serves your project best.
Getting Started
Most coaching relationships begin with a single session to discuss your project and determine how we might work together. From there, we'll establish a rhythm that fits your timeline and creative process.
