BOOK COACHING

We all imagine that when we finally sit down to write the Great American Something, the words will just come pouring out of us.  When they don’t we think, “I must not be a writer.” 

I’m sorry to report but it simply doesn’t work that way. Even Tony Kushner wants to give up at least once a day. 

You’ve got something you have to say.  You’re ready to say it.  You just don’t know a) where to start or b) how to make the time. That’s where I come in. I’ll climb in there with you, help you create a structure you’re excited about, and a schedule you can stick to.  And if you’re an entrepreneur I'll help you leverage your expertise into the best written platform for your brand.

You don't need an MFA, you need a MGD, a Master at Getting this Done. 

HOW I WORK

Whether you’re on the third draft of a manuscript that still hasn’t gelled, nagged by the seed of an idea, or ready to create a written platform for your expertise, I’ll start with a consultation to learn what you’ve been bumping up against, give you tools for moving past it, and, based on the material or concept you’ve shared, give you my editorial vision to help you establish how far from completion you are.  
 
Based on that meeting, if we both choose to move forward, in addition to consistent editorial support (from outlining to punctuation), I’ll create a custom game plan for you with a realistic, stress-free calendar of deliverables.  Then I’ll work with you, week in, week out, to keep you energized and on track.  You don’t have time to waste.  Trust that each opportunity you have to sit down and write, you’re moving your book toward the finish line.
