What is Book Coaching?
Book coaching is a personalized, one-on-one partnership that helps writers bring their stories to life — one step, one scene, one breakthrough at a time. Think of it like having a trusted guide on your writing porch, ready with sharp insight, kind encouragement, and the occasional nudge when you need it most.
Whether you’re knee-deep in plot twists or trying to find your way out of a sagging middle, I’m here to help you wrangle your ideas, stay accountable, and shape a manuscript you’re proud to share with the world. Especially if you’re spinning a suspenseful tale or crafting a mystery with bite. That’s my sweet spot!
Who Hires a Writing Coach?
Writers who are ready to stop spinning their wheels and start making real progress! Some come to me with a rough idea and a dream. Others have a full draft that just isn’t singing yet. And plenty fall somewhere in between, wondering if what they’ve written makes sense… or if it even matters.
My clients are often:
- Writers unraveling a mystery or building page-turning suspense
- Those stuck in the “murky middle” who need a way forward
- Busy folks juggling work and writing, looking for structure
- Writers seeking honest, supportive feedback and clear direction
- Storytellers who know there’s a book in them — they just need help pulling it out
If that sounds like you, pull up a chair. You’re in the right place.
What Genres Do You Coach?
While I work with writers across genres, I’m especially drawn to mystery, suspense, and anything with a twist. If your story involves secrets, stakes, or the kind of tension that keeps readers up past bedtime, I’m all in!
That said, I also love helping writers shape character-driven novels, emotional journeys, and stories rooted in place and purpose. I’m happy to support you whether you’re chasing a dark thriller, a cozy mystery, or something that blends genres in a beautifully unexpected way.
