FAQ

Wait what is a writing coach?

What can a writing coach do for you? You’ve got questions below I’ve got answers.

What is a writing/book coach? Is there a difference?

A book coach is focused on a completed book. A writing coach is focused on a completed story; however, the terms are synonymous and interchangeable.

I’ve never written a book before—can you help me?

Absolutely! I am here to help brainstorm and pull your ideas together in a cohesive outline, creating a solid foundation for your story so that you can take the next steps in writing your book. 

I will be your accountability partner to make sure you are doing the work. I will support you every step of the way to make the very daunting process of writing a book (a whole freaking book!) manageable and fulfilling!

What will you do for me as a writing coach?

As a writing coach, I provide editorial, emotional, and project management support throughout the creative process of writing a book. Think of it as a personal trainer for your writing. 

For example, when you go to exercise on your own you may achieve all the results you want. But if you hire a trainer, they can help tailor an exercise program, cheer you on as you go, correct and improve your form and performance, to help you reach your fitness goals in the most efficient way possible. 

Can you guarantee traditional publication?

Sorry, no. Any book/writing coach who makes that kind of guarantee is not being honest. 

The publishing world is very subjective and there are no guarantees of success. I cannot promise you that your book whether you are querying or self-publishing will be successful. What I can do is guide you in the best possible story to present to agents and readers.

What genres do you coach?

I work across genres and enjoy fantasy, romance, and thrillers the most.

Will you line edit during coaching?

My offerings focus on the big picture and getting to the heart of the story with you. Grammar is important. I believe that story is always first and the grammar is last.

I can recommend developmental and/or line editors to you following our coaching sessions.

Can I get a refund if I don’t like the feedback?

No, refunds are not available on my offerings at the time of delivery. 

Many times writers don't love to get feedback but my goal as your coach is to help you grow as a writer sometimes the feedback might be hard to hear but I am your biggest cheerleader and I do my best to be as positive as I can to bring out the best of your developing story.
