Let's say you have a great idea for a book. It may be a book to support your business - to position yourself as an authority in your field. You may want to write a novel, or a memoir as a legacy for your family, or a self-help book. Whatever your topic or genre, and no matter how important this book is to you, you're struggling! With our book coaching & writing programs, struggle no more!
As a book writing coach, I help you pull your book together - at whatever stage of your writing journey you happen to be. Many aspiring writers who work with me are at the very beginning of their journey.
Writers generally struggle for these reasons:
Failing to start: 'I don't know how to start'
Clarity around the subject: 'I don't know what topic to write about'
Lack of confidence: 'I've never written a book before & I don't know if I can'
Lack of accountability: 'I've tried many times to write a book but I lose momentum.'
A writing journey tailored to you
Choose the writing journey that best suits you from the courses below.
If you're someone disciplined who just needs a kickstart, you may opt for one of the self-led programs.
If you like to work with a coach to encourage, mentor, and support you, and give you the accountability you need, then one of the coach-supported programs is going to suit you better.

THIS WEEK'S FEATURED BOOK COACHING COURSE
Writing to Heal: Metamorphosis
Writing to Heal is a 3-month program lovingly created to truly help you express, explore, and make sense of your emotions and experiences. This course includes other therapies and healing modalities to complement and support your writing journey. The program also contains a whole bunch of resources – videos, podcasts, books, healers – to further support your writing to heal process.
The Writer's Starter Kit You Didn’t Know You Needed: Begin your Book with a Bang!
This program is for writers who need to get going on their book but don’t know where to start. It is a fully self-led online program that guides you through seven modules, each module leading to the next logical step. By the end of the modules, you are fully set up to write all the chapters of your book.
This program suits writers who want the content from the GROUP MASTERY program with the flexibility of working at their own pace. It is a fully self-led, online program, designed to get you from zero to the first draft of your book.
This program combines weekly group coaching and fortnightly 1:1 coaching via Zoom.
You are fully guided through writing your book, starting with the practicalities of scheduling writing into your lifestyle, and planning and structuring your book, all the way to finishing the first draft.
Writing sprints and exercises, mainly working on your own book, are a major component of the program.
This 6-month mentorship program includes weekly 1:1 coaching, weekly reviews of your writing*, and free editing of the completed manuscript.*
Bonus material you receive includes recorded Zoom sessions and all the resource material from Get Your Book to the Finish Line™ GROUP MASTERY.
You also receive email support Mon to Fri 9-5 for questions between coaching calls, and on-demand module creation to address any personal writing queries or challenges.
I would never even have started my book without the program! It’s definitely doable to achieve the first draft of your book in 12 weeks by writing 500—1,000 words a day. The writing exercises, including those on free association and working on our chapter outlines, were great. Get Your Book to the Finish Line™ is a no-hype, all-action practical program with an experienced, knowledgeable, professional writing coach and editor. This makes the otherwise daunting process of writing a book simple, practical, and achievable. It is not just about writing a book, but writing a quality book that people want to read—Nik Cree, SmashGo, Get Your Book to the Finish Line Group Mastery, Oct 2021

I really liked the group dynamic, listening to others reading and to their stories, and getting to know them. It was a great group. I found all the resource material and the other information imparted in the sessions really helpful. What I learned in the sessions has helped me to advance to a point now that I’m confident to continue to write at a level where I’m enjoying my writing. It’s not hard work anymore. It was a great experience. Gail is very knowledgeable and she lives to help people with her professional writing advice—Dale Loader, Oct 2021
