Writers' Help: Book Coaching

One-to-one weekly sessions give you feedback, advice, & support. Great for kickstarting your writing.

Each week we speak on Skype for ½ hr to an hour, to discuss your latest draft, chapter, or plan. I give you detailed feedback and help you plan your next week's writing aims.

This is ideal for starting new projects, putting together a submission pack for a publisher, or kickstarting something that's been on the back burner.

the help you need

Each person's project is different, and your sessions are tailored to what you need:

  • conceptual: discussing and developing ideas
  • organisation: working together on planning or replanning the structure, ideas, and flow
  • practical: setting and managing targets, being accountable
  • language: advice and help on style
  • feedback: reading and giving feedback on outlines, drafts, and rewrites
  • the creative process: help bringing the creative process into a usually busy life, from creativity exercises to finding the right head space and physical space
  • publishing process: advice on writing synopses, blurbs, cover letters, and submitting to publishers or agents

I’m committed to process teaching – understanding why and practising how, not just learning what; keeping the focus and always keeping the fun.

What next?

Email me - let me know what kind of book it is, what it's about, and how far you've got with it. If you'd like a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) first, I can send you one. If you've already written a lot, we'll start with an editorial review.

Megan has been a brilliant support. She is positive and motivating; as well as being extremely knowledgeable - but the real proof is that I have been more productive whilst working with Megan than any other time in my life as a writer. Carole Hautot on LinkedIn
