Writing Coaching
Nonfiction/Memoir Authors & Novelists
You love to write. You have a powerful message and a clear desire to reach your audience.
But writing a book is hard—and doing it alone can be even harder.
If you’re looking for structure, accountability, and expert support as you write your own book, I offer coaching that helps you:
- Stay on track
Write with clarity, and - Finish a polished, editor-ready manuscript
All with your voice at the center of every page.
How It Works
Step 1: Strategy & Syllabus
We begin with several coaching sessions to map out your goals, audience, message, and ideal outcomes. From this, we create a custom “syllabus” for your book—clarifying what readers should learn, feel, or take away.
Step 2: Outline & Timetable
Based on your syllabus, we develop a detailed outline and a realistic writing schedule that fits your life.
Step 3: Chapter-by-Chapter Feedback
You write. I review. You’ll submit chapters for feedback, and I’ll respond with notes on structure, flow, voice, and clarity. We’ll talk through key changes and resolve sticking points together.
Step 4: Regular Coaching Calls
We meet every 1–3 weeks to check in, discuss feedback, troubleshoot challenges, and keep you moving forward. These calls provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability—so you don’t lose momentum.
Why Hire a Writing Coach?
You’ve started and stopped multiple times and need help finishing.
You’re organized but want professional input as you write.
You want your book to reflect your expertise and heart—not just your grammar check.
You’re willing to do the writing yourself but want a guide by your side.
Investment
Coaching packages range from $7,500–$12,500 depending on the scope of your project, word count, and research needs.
Custom packages are available for longer or more complex books.

"I really enjoyed Judy's live interaction . . . on her Zoom presentation of writing your own memoir, non-fiction, or fiction books. It gave me insight into what it really will take to be a published author of any book I decide to write. It was an informative overview of the process and gave me ideas on how to structure myself all along the way. I am grateful for the guidance."
