Why do you need a book writing coach?
Let's say you have a great idea for a book. It may be a book to support your business - to position yourself as an authority in your field. You may want to write a novel, or a memoir as a legacy for your family, or a self-help book. Whatever your topic or genre, and no matter how important this book is to you, you're struggling! With our book coaching & writing programs, struggle no more!
As a book writing coach, I help you pull your book together - at whatever stage of your writing journey you happen to be. Many aspiring writers who work with me are at the very beginning of their journey.
Writers generally struggle for these reasons:
- Failing to start: 'I don't know how to start'
- Clarity around the subject: 'I don't know what topic to write about'
- Lack of confidence: 'I've never written a book before & I don't know if I can'
- Lack of accountability: 'I've tried many times to write a book but I lose momentum.'

Testimonials
I would never even have started my book without the program! It’s definitely doable to achieve the first draft of your book in 12 weeks by writing 500—1,000 words a day. The writing exercises, including those on free association and working on our chapter outlines, were great.

This makes the otherwise daunting process of writing a book simple, practical, and achievable. It is not just about writing a book, but writing a quality book that people want to read—Nik Cree, SmashGo, Get Your Book to the Finish Line Group Mastery, Oct 2021

I really liked the group dynamic, listening to others reading and to their stories, and getting to know them. It was a great group. I found all the resource material and the other information imparted in the sessions really helpful. What I learned in the sessions has helped me to advance to a point now that I’m confident to continue to write at a level where I’m enjoying my writing. It’s not hard work anymore. It was a great experience. Gail is very knowledgeable and she lives to help people with her professional writing advice—Dale Loader, Oct 2021
