Author Talk Network Series

In this 3-day interview series, members of the Author Talk Network discussed all things character, mystery and research! 

Build Your Confidence 

Whatever your level of writing, or whichever genre you’re writing in, you will gain some of the most necessary and foundational skills you need if you want to write a novel.

How to Write Your Novel

The tools you’ll learn in this course will arm you with the knowledge and action steps you need to confidently start writing your novel.

“Your course was invaluable to me. There were so many different elements of writing that I had not spent much time thinking about prior to the lectures. This was an extremely helpful course and I strongly recommend it.”

Personal Coaching

Writing can be a lonely business, but it doesn’t need to be.

Together we can keep you motivated and on track, so you not only finish your first draft, but take the next step towards publication.

I will help you turn your story idea into a plot, showing you how to deepen your characters so readers love them, and get through the ‘saggy middle’.

Students have told me how delighted they were to work with me because I helped them move past self-doubt and procrastination to a place where they’re ready to find an editor and an agent.

Single Coaching Call

We’ll meet via Zoom for 60 minutes at a date and time that works best for you.

When you book the call, you’ll be asked to outline the three main topics you want to discuss. This will form the basis of our call so that I know I can help you best.

You will receive a recording of our call so you can refer back to it as and when you need it.

VIP Half Day Coaching

We’ll meet via Zoom for 4 hours, during which time we will go through the three top areas of your manuscript that you feel need attention, starting with a 25-minute kick-off call to make sure I understand exactly what it is you want to cover in our four hours together.

You will receive a recording of our four hours together to refer back to. 

Manuscript Evaluation

I will send you a 10-15 page evaluation letter outlining what I think is working, as well as what I think needs working on and why, as well as suggestions on how to make those changes.

We’ll then have a 60 minute Zoom call to discuss the evaluation letter and any thoughts you have on my feedback.

“We had a coaching session about a week and a half ago and I am COMPLETELY reinvigorated! It’s one thing to know what you’re “supposed” to do for scenes, chapters, and plot, but talking it through with you brought so much to light to get me unstuck. I’ve recommitted to my novel and I’ve written at least 1000 words per day since our session. Next stop: finished draft!”
