Description

Would you like to write a book?

Would you like a coach who cares about you and your project?

The Write Motivation Book Coaching Package is the perfect way for you to write your first book. Whether it is a business book, a novel, a poetry collection, a memoir, or a family history I will work with you to create a manuscript you are proud of.

Many people have been told they should write a book because they have a compelling story that must be told. However, writing a book isn’t an easy thing to do.

As your book coach, I will lead you through a process that helps you to use your voice to tell your story in your way. Each session is geared towards your individual needs. The methods may be the same, but the way we work together is tailored to help you complete your project.

I will be your biggest cheerleader and advisor. We begin with why you want to write a book, figure out what your overarching story is, and who you want to write for.

Practical considerations such as finding time to write, creating an outline, writing techniques, and editing will all be covered during our sessions.

You will create a plan to complete your project that suits your lifestyle and has realistic deadlines.

We’ll go through the process of what to do once your manuscript is completed. If you wish to self or indie publish, we’ll explore editing, proofreading, design, printing, and marketing.

If you want to go the traditional publishing route, we’ll talk about preparing your manuscript so it’s ready to submit to an agent or publisher.

I’ve spent the last twenty years writing, studying, and publishing. Also, I’m studying for a Post-graduate Certificate in teaching creative writing at Cambridge University so I can serve writers better.

You can be assured that I will support you and do I all I can to help you achieve your goal of writing a book. If there’s anything I’m not able to help you with, I’ll refer you to someone who can.

The Book Coaching Package includes:

An in-person or Zoom discovery session where we work through your motivation for writing (your why) and the narrative arc of your book. (No matter if it’s non-fiction or fiction, there is still a narrative arc)
An in-person or Zoom planning session to develop a detailed outline of the book.
An in-person or Zoom session to develop a practical writing plan to complete the book with deadlines and practical tips.
Three Zoom coaching sessions to set goals, overcome obstacles and keep you on target until your manuscript is complete. The timing depends on how quickly you want to complete the book. We will negotiate the timing of sessions to suit your schedule and timeframe*.
Email support to answer your questions and provide personal feedback on your writing project is available at any time. I am located in Australia on the West Coast, so emails will be answered during my business hours. (As part of this process, I will read chapters and provide general feedback, however, I am not an editor.)

An in-person or Zoom session to discuss what to do once you’ve completed the first draft. Editing, proofing, and the next steps towards publication will be covered.
