Hi, I'm Emma
I educate and inspire first-time authors to fulfill their calling and write a debut novel.
Life is short. Write your novel.

I highly recommend Emma as a writing coach! She’s a lovely person and it has been delightful to work with her. Talking with her one-on-one immediately boosted my writing confidence when I was feeling stuck. I especially appreciate how she listens to me and asks insightful questions that quickly cut to the heart of the matter. Emma tailors her coaching to what will work best for you to keep you moving forward and growing. And she’s great at striking the balance of adapting to your needs but also holding you accountable to your goals.
Emma Dhesi is a bestselling author and certified book coach who has spent the last five years helping debut novelists bring their first manuscripts to life.
As a graduate of Jennie Nash’s prestigious Author Accelerator program, Emma specialises in working with fiction writers across all genres to shape and structure a compelling beginning, middle, and end, to their novels. She provides developmental editing and mentorship that takes manuscripts to the next level.
Working with writers 1:1, Emma has guided dozens of first-time authors through drafting and polishing their debut novels. It’s the powerful combination of craft, brainstorming, cheerleading, and accountability that gets writers to the end of their manuscripts and the first steps toward publication.
I have been fortunate enough to benefit from Emma‘s thoughtful feedback and style of coaching. She is personable and friendly while also staying focused on the task at hand. I found her specific feedback gave me clear direction for moving ahead and when revising. Right from the start, Emma helped me develop vision for my book which was validating and helped me with the writing process. I hope to work with her again in the future!
My name is Emma Dhesi and I’m the book coach for you if you want to work with an honest, heart centred and straight talking guide. I know what you need because I’m a writer, too. I get it.
It’s my honour and thrill to help women in the second half of life who have big things to say and want to finish their novel.
