INCONSISTENT WRITING HABITS

Your writing comes in waves, and you aren’t seeing consistency in your practice. You’re craving a program that gives you motivation to sit in your seat and write so you can tell your story.

DIRECTIONLESS & OVERWHELMED

You’re not sure where to start, or you’re drowning in writing advice that  gurus say you “should” be using. But what skills do YOU need for YOUR book? If you could just have a personal mentor and editor who would take the  guesswork out of writing and help you finally write your book with clarity and confidence!  

INNER CRITIC EXHAUSTION

You’ve tried so many ways to quiet your inner critic. The one who says you’re not good enough or that nobody will read your book.  It might even be censoring your work.  You’ve tried silencing, battling, and ignoring them.  You need an expert Inner Critic Coach to develop the mindset of successful writers.

Paralyzing self-doubt & imposter syndrome

The thought of confidently claiming the word “Writer” to define yourself feels beyond reach–even though, deep down you know you’ve always been destined to write. But, you’re overcome with the weight of self-doubt and imposter syndrome weighs down your confidence and often prevents you from writing, finishing, or publishing projects. You know you need help over this mindset block, kind of like a cheerleader for your writing career.  

UNSURE about the quality of your writing

You are in love with your writing, but you aren’t sure if you’re meeting genre expectations or writing something readers want to read. You’d love to work with a writing coach who is also an editor and educator so they can help fill in the gaps and make your writing sing.

rejection disappoinment

You’ve experienced the disappointment of rejection. Maybe you’ve been submitting and querying already and the rejection letters are piling up. You believe in your work, but it’s hard to weather the negative feedback. If only you had help from someone with industry experience. Some understand what rejection feels like, but it is also there to remind you that Walt Whitman received over 200 rejections for Leaves of Grass.
