Do you want help sharing your message with the world?

Maybe you feel like you never get anywhere with your book or you’re struggling to start or finish.

Do you face procrastination? Self-Doubt? Overwhelm?

Maybe you know the book isn’t quite right, but you can’t put your finger on the problem.

Nobody can read your manuscript or dream about your book (or get you unstuck) the way a gifted author’s coach can. I’m a developmental editor too, so I can help you work out the logistics as well as the mindset.

Schedule a call with me to see what it’s like to work together.

I used to get to the end of brilliant manuscripts with clients, who would excitedly say, “Now what?!” And I’d have to send them out into the cold, cruel world of self publishing all alone. 

Now, my team and I offer full self-publishing support, including editing, proofreading, book covers, interior design, and help with uploading your manuscript to publishing platforms such as Amazon. 

For the past few years, a story idea has been stuck in my head, a heartfelt book waiting to be written. I knew it existed, just like I knew it was time to write some short story books before, guided by the same insistent whisper in my soul. This time, though, something felt different. When I started, blank pages stared back, then writer’s block started weighing me down.

That’s where Diane, my writing coach and mentor, became such a valuable support to me. Her gentle presence, her uncanny ability to listen and key into hidden points, was a lifeline. She’d ask questions that made me pause and reflect, or gently remind me when I drifted away from my feelings. It hurt to realize when I’d been analyzing instead of feeling, my pride in being analytical a roadblock to the more vulnerable emotion this book demanded.

This journey with Diane wasn’t just about writing; it was a deeper kind of growth. Writing used to be a struggle, something I endured to get to the finished product. But Diane helped me to appreciate the process, the messy, wonderful, journey of self-discovery and the unfolding of my own creativity.  I can now honestly say I’m starting to enjoy writing and the beautiful, unexpected ways my words come together.

My book is still a work in progress, but with each day, I see it coming together in a way that’s more fluid, poetic, and bursting with meaning. In the old space, this would have been just a book. Now, it will be my heartfelt masterpiece, one I can’t wait to share with the world.

Diane’s insight, guidance, and experience have deepened not only my writing but also how I express myself in everything I do. My social posts have more clarity, are more authentic and speak from a vulnerable space that I am happy to share with others. This journey has gifted me more than I ever imagined, and I won’t stop until I reach “The End” of this book, with maybe more to come in the future. Who knows?

Thank you, Diane, for helping me find my voice and unleash my heart onto the page. The world is waiting for my story, and I’m ready to share it, one beautiful, authentic word at a time.

Thank you so much for your wonderful writing course! It was instrumental in getting me back into writing consistently. I love thinking about this being my Writer’s Journey. Hearing your take on resistance and learning some of your trusty tools and writing exercises for getting into the flow and higher consciousness really helped. Your examples of ways to map out the story has given me ideas of how I can organize my story and I look forward to experimenting and playing with it for a bit. I especially enjoyed the high-vibe weekly study hall. It feels really good to see chapters coming together, and I’m having fun writing!

I would love to work with you again in the future.

All the best,
Corinne
