1-on-1 Book Coaching
As a book coach and creative collaborator, I come alongside authors from longing to launch to cultivate courage, help clarify their message, and offer accountability and soul care through the writing and publishing process. I have helped dozens of published authors identify their publishing options and guided them to take the next steps toward their publishing goals, whether that be crafting a book proposal or drafting an entire manuscript.
I am currently booking coaching projects for Spring and Summer 2026, including:
-
No matter which publishing pathway is best for you, a fully developed book proposal will set you and your book up for short-term and long-term publishing success.
6 Weeks of Coaching - $2,800

Writing a book can be lonely, but you don’t have to do it alone. This is for those who need ongoing guidance, feedback, and accountability to help you develop and complete your book’s manuscript.

For authors who want to explore which publishing pathway is right for them, or who are in the early stages of building their author brand and platform so they can position themselves for a strong future in publishing.

FAQs
What kind of writers and authors do you work with?
I primarily coach authors who are seeking to self-publish, hybrid-publish, or scholars and researchers who are seeking to publish with an academic press. I authors who need guidance in exploring which publishing path is right for their project.
My coaching expertise is in the adult non-fiction markets; I do not currently work on books for children or young adults.
Do you have any coaching certifications or training?
Yes. I have been trained as a book coach by Jennie Nash at Author Accelerator and am certified in coaching strategies by Jess Connolly through GATG. I use a blended method of these frameworks for coaching authors.
Do you work with authors who want to be traditionally published?
Yes. I will work with authors who are considering traditional publishing or who already have a book deal and need help developing their manuscript. However, authors must understand that I would never be able to represent them as a literary agent.
How do I know what kind of publishing is right for me and my book?
You can book a 1-hour strategy session with me to explore which publishing pathway may be the best fit for you and your project. Prior to agenting, I was a literary editor for a hybrid publisher and I have coached many self-published authors. I have experience working with authors across all pathways.
Can you be my literary agent after I hire you as my coach?
No. My book coaching services are separate and different from my work as a literary agent. For ethical reasons, if we work together in a coaching relationship, I will not be able to represent you as your literary agent now or in the future.
What if I’m not quite ready to invest in a coach but I want to keep learning from you?
Join me at Writing Is A Team Sport, my coaching newsletter, for access to free and affordable education and coaching for authors and writers. As a subscriber, you will gain a community of fellow writers and be the first to learn about special group-coaching opportunities and courses.
