Writing Coaching
Rather than developmental work, we now offer a fully-inclusive Writing Coaching program over six months.
Our suggestions will help you, right from the start:
- connect to the reader

- stay on voice
- perform a re-structure of material, if required
- with advice on referencing and copyright matters.
We also include book blurb writing (with hot selling points) and short author bio suggestions.
With fortnightly Zoom calls and regular feedback on chapters, this friendly book writer coaching keeps you on track.
