The First Step to Writing Your Book with Confidence

You have a story inside you—a novel, a memoir, a non-fiction gem–a world waiting to be brought to life. But right now, you might be feeling:

  • Overwhelmed by all the writing advice out there
  • Unsure if your story is structured the right way
  • Stuck in the middle of your draft, not knowing how to move forward
  • Scared that you just ‘don’t have it in you

This program is designed to guide you from uncertainty to clarity, helping you build the foundation of your writing journey and skillset with coaching, light editing, editorial assessment, guidance, and a personalised roadmap so you can write with confidence.

This is the perfect starting point if:

✅ You’re a first-time writer looking for guidance

✅ You struggle with story structure, pacing, or character development

✅ You’ve started writing but feel stuck or unmotivated

✅ You’re confused about what you need to improve your craft

✅ You want a personalised roadmap to help you finish your book

What’s Included:

🔹 Editorial Assessment – A review of your manuscript that gives you big-picture feedback on your story’s strengths and weaknesses.

🔹 Light Editing – Feedback on prose, structure, clarity, and overall writing effectiveness.

🔹 Book Coaching – Bi-weekly 60 min calls; Personalised guidance on story structure, pacing, character arcs, common writing issues and how to overcome them, guidance on improving your craft as a beginner.

🔹 Accountability & Support – Check-ins and milestone tracking to keep you motivated and on track.

🔹 Personalised Notion dashboard – A personalised space for you to keep track of your writing projects, progress, and other useful resources for your level.

Bonuses:

Starter Outline Template – A simple guide to help organise your ideas before drafting.

Character & Plot Development Worksheets – A set of structured prompts to strengthen your story (the ones I use for all of my first drafts)

Writing Rituals & Productivity Hacks – Tips and tricks to make writing a habit and boost creativity (from someone who used to say “I don’t have time to write” all the time)

How It Works :

1️⃣ Discovery Call – Let’s chat about your story, challenges, and goals. We’ll discuss where you are in your writing journey and which level suits you best.

2️⃣ First Strategy Call – Once we begin working together, we’ll hop on a deep-dive session to establish clear goals for the next 6 weeks. We’ll define what success looks like for you and create a step-by-step plan to get there.

3️⃣ Editorial Assessment – I’ll evaluate your work, identifying strengths and areas that need improvement. This ensures we focus on what will have the biggest impact on your writing.

4️⃣ Coaching & Light Editing – You’ll receive direct feedback and strategies to improve your writing, strengthen your current story, and deepen your understanding of the craft.

5️⃣ Check-In & Progress Review – Throughout, we’ll assess your progress and adjust our approach as needed to ensure you’re on track to reach your writing milestones.

6️⃣ Your Writing Roadmap – By the end of the 6 weeks, you’ll walk away with a clear, actionable plan for what to do next—whether that’s revising, continuing your draft, or preparing for the next stage.

7️⃣ Next Steps: Grow to Level 2 (Optional) – If you’re ready to deepen your story development, refine your prose, and take your manuscript to the next level, you’ll have the opportunity to transition smoothly into Level 2: The Experienced Writer Path. I’ll guide you through what that looks like and how we can continue building on your progress.

By the end of 6 weeks, you’ll have:

✔️ A strong story foundation

✔️ A clear plan for your next steps

✔️ The confidence to keep writing

✔️ Knowledge and skills to improve your craft

✔️ Plenty of feedback on your first draft
