1-on-1 Book Coaching

 

This is a high-touch, personalized partnership designed to meet you right where you are—whether that’s staring down a blank page or knee-deep in revision hell. We’ll meet weekly or monthly (whatever fits your life), and together we’ll build momentum, troubleshoot plot and pacing, and make sure your love interests have real, can’t-fake-it chemistry. I’ll help you shape a compelling emotional arc and support you all the way from page one to publication, whether you’re dreaming of self-publishing or aiming for traditional. Consistent, strategic, and always in your corner—my job is to keep you moving forward, no matter what.

Perfect for you if:

  • You’re determined to finish your romance novel (and not just think about it)
  • You want a true partner through every stage of writing and publishing
  • You value honest feedback, accountability, and expert guidance—minus the sugarcoating

  • Personalized action plans and clear next steps after every call
  • Accountability check-ins to keep you motivated and moving forward
  • Strategic guidance for self-publishing or traditional publishing paths

TESTIMONIALS

She asks just the right questions. When presenting her with a problem or concern with my writing, she really has a knack for pointing out what needs work, what might be missing, without ever dictating the “right” way to fix it. She’s wonderful at helping you find the answers you didn’t even know you were looking for and pulling out the areas that can really make your story evolve.

~ Erin Anderson-Schulz

The entire experience was totally worth the money and really helped me build stronger characters, better plots and become a more focused writer. Plus, you made it all such a fun challenge.

~ Vicky Brasel
