Get the coaching you need... SPECIFIC to your book!
Writing a book? Ready to think about selling your manuscript?
I've been in your seat... pouring your heart, soul and time into your project but when it comes time to pitch to an agent, you feel lost. Because of my hard-won experience as an 8X published author, I enjoy helping writers like you to get their books birthed into the world. Coaching with me can make the difference.
Both my course and my coaching package shine a bright light onto your manuscript so that you can take your publishing journey to the next level. I can help you to:
- Craft the message of your book so a potential agent or editor will KNOW it is the right fit for them
- Deliver the right information, in the expected sequence, so that a reader UNDERSTANDS why they need your book… now
- Develop a strong and completely compelling case for why you are the best author and why this is the right book… and the right time… for a publisher to take you on
- Deliver what agents and editors WANT. I've worked with many and I can steer you in the right direction.
- Build the frame around which all of your promotion grows
- Get yourself into selling mode instead of creativity mode (which is the BIGGEST obstacle for writers)
- Package and position your entire project for success
