A book coach is more than an editor or beta reader. As a coach, I am here to assist and support you throughout the entire writing and publishing process, or whatever parts of the process you want a coach for. Book coaches provide extensive and in-depth feedback, but are also there for emotional support, accountability, project management, helping you through the challenges, and celebrating the victories!
INTRO TO COACHING
For writers looking to dip their toes into coaching
Feedback on a 1-page worksheet
You will be given a 1-page worksheet that will ask you to think deeply about the foundation of your novel/story idea. This includes elements like genre, why you want to write this story, your ideal reader, and a broad idea of your plot and characters.
You will receive in-line feedback comments that show which elements are solid and which need a bit more work.
Feedback on 30 pages of your manuscript
You will receive an editorial summary for the opening of your manuscript (up to 30 pages) that includes an overview of the strengths and weaknesses.

After receiving all feedback, we will meet on a call to discuss the feedback, any questions you have, and next steps.
