writing + publishing coaching
You want to write a book because you have something important to share with the world. You’re not sure exactly where to start, or maybe you’ve tentatively begun. Perhaps you have a body of writing or even a complete manuscript, ready for what’s next. But… what is next? Maybe you’ve started or are somewhere along in the process, and you realize how lonely and draining it can get. From generating and developing drafts, to working with an editor and embracing the revision process, to choosing a publishing (and marketing) path that’s right for you. Wherever you are in your book writing journey, let’s begin.
