Coaching
Writing can be hard and lonely work. Writing a book is a marathon. Writing a book proposal is like you’ve shown up to the starting line and been told, “Before you begin, there’s this pre-marathon you have to run. Good luck.” And no one’s given you a map to this marathon, and if you’re not careful you could end up off the designated route, running through brambles, cursing and weeping.
No matter where you are in your writing journey, the question remains: How do you get through it? How do you find your way to the finish line?
What you need is a coach: someone to show you the path forward, gently correct you when you’ve gone off course, and cheer you on when you’re flagging.
I can help you if you’re looking to jumpstart your writing after time away; if you’re looking for accountability and coaching; if you have a book idea but no clue how to turn that into a proposal; if you have a proposal but no clue what needs to be done to get it out the door; if you’re looking for help finding an agent; if you have a manuscript that needs editing. My clients’ projects range from short stories to self-help to memoir and research-driven works. Contact me for rates and more information.
