What is a book coach?
A book coach is an expert on guiding a writer through the journey of book creation. Unlike an editor, who focuses on improving the manuscript, a book coach focuses on the writer.
Tell me more about yourself.
I’m a neurosurgeon in academic practice, a mother to two awesome daughters, and the author of six novels, both traditionally and self-published. I’ve completed the Author Accelerator fiction book coaching program, and I’m an AA certified coach.
What package is right for me?
If you’re just starting out on your writing journey, or you’re not sure what type of help you need, I’d recommend the Curbside Consult. You can get feedback about your writing and advice on the next steps to write your book.
What types of writing projects do you coach?
I’m currently focused on helping writers with both fiction and nonfiction book-length projects. My own writing focuses on genre fiction with fantasy and romance, mostly with LGBTQ characters, but I’ve worked with clients on books ranging from non-fiction essay projects to historical fiction.
What’s the first step?
Click “Tell Me More” underneath the package you’re interested in. This will take you to a Google Form where you’ll tell me more about your project and submit a ten-page sample of your writing. For most people, this will be the first ten pages of the manuscript they’re working on. For all packages other than a Curbside Consult, if it looks like we might be a good coaching fit I’ll message you back about times for a free Discovery Call.
What’s a Discovery Call?
A Discovery Call is a 30-minute Zoom meeting that gives me a chance to learn about your writing goals and need for support. It also gives you an opportunity to meet me (virtually) and see if we would be a good fit.
What’s the Blueprint?
The Blueprint is an Author Accelerator tool that takes a writer through a comprehensive outline of all the aspects of a writing project, including a story outline.
Do I have to be a doctor to hire you as a book coach?
Definitely not. Even if your closest exposure to medical school is binge-watching Grey’s Anatomy, I’d love to hear more about your project!
