Coaching

Welcome

You’ve landed on this page for a reason.

Let me guess:

  • You want to write and publish a nonfiction book but don’t know how to get started.
  • You began writing your book, but have stopped and started many times. Now you’re stuck.
  • You are willing to work hard, but don’t want to waste time or money. You feel overwhelmed.
  • You have done some research about how to self-publish, but need help in understanding all those options out there.
  • You are a coach, blogger or entrepreneur who wants to write a book to build credibility.
  • You are creative and smart, but scared about the book writing and publishing process.
  • You have finished your first draft and now need help in finding an editor, layout designer and printing service.
  • You’ve heard that you should create an ebook first, but aren’t sure exactly how to do that.
  • You have completed your print book, but need help with marketing it to get sales.

Even if I didn’t list your reason for being here, no problem. The first step in working together, whether in group or private sessions, is to determine your goal, vision and challenges.

Publishing a book is no longer limited to convincing a traditional publisher to accept your book idea. While my clients tend to want to self-publish their books, I will point you to experts who will help you navigate traditional publishing, if that’s your choice.

There are many ways to color your life published. I’ve created a variety of options for your convenience. Choose the one that best serves your needs.

“Many of us stopped and started many times when we were trying
to write our books alone.”

Customized Coaching

You’ve put off writing your book long enough! You know it and I know it. You started making notes and gathering material for your book, maybe even took a motivational teleseminar, subscribed to more than one newsletter about writing and even attended a weekend workshop. But in the swirl of running your business and managing your family, your book writing plans slipped down to the bottom of your list and almost out of sight.

Don’t feel bad.

It takes more than just determination. It takes guidance and know-how from someone who has been-there, done that. With experience getting published through traditional publishers and self-publishing, I can help you get your book written, marketed and published. If you are serious about finishing your book and want an accountability partner, this is the choice for you. In our weekly phone calls, you will progress step by step. We will record our sessions so you can review it as often as you like. You also get unlimited email support.

Frankly, this private coaching program is not for everyone. I accept only the most energetic and dedicated applicants for this program, with emphasis on marketing your book. If you’d like to apply, email me at [email protected] with READY in the subject line. Then tell me what your book is about, how far along you are on it, and a phone number with the best time to reach you. This complimentary call will help clarify your goals and set out a strategy.

“You don’t have to be famous or a professional writer
to become a successful author.”


Group sessions

Write Your Life Story, Two Pages at a Time

In this unique program, you write from the heart on themes carefully
selected for your class. The goal of the class is to encourage, support
and empower you to treasure and appreciate your life.

As your guided autobiography (GAB) instructor/guide, I lead you
through some stimulating exercises to spark creativity and self-learning.
Then you talk about a commonly experienced life theme
s such as
turning points in your life, your family influences, your health, and your
work. 

There are several questions designed to trigger your memory about your
experience of this theme.

During the workshop, you’ll write a two-page story each week about  how you
experienced something connected to the selected themes.

This program is open to those who want to capture their life stories.
No writing experience is required, written work will not be edited or
critiqued, and there is no pressure to publish finished stories.
