Book Coaching

FAQs

1

How do I know if this service is right for me?

This service is right for those who:​

  • can’t see what’s needed to revise their ego-satisfying first draft into a reader-resonant manuscript

  • have received a developmental edit, but need some help executing the feedback

2

How much does ghostwriting cost?

$2,000 USD per month​

3

How long does it take?

Book coaching is an open-ended process, so you can utilize my expertise and resources for as little or as long as you need 

4

Will my manuscript be ready to publish once I've finished revising it?

Not quite. You'll certainly have a more complete manuscript, but it will likely need to be line edited at the very least before publishing or submission.

As your ghostwriter, my job is to get to know your voice, personality, and style so I can help you say what you want to say the way you want to say it with as little overwhelm as possible (I know, the publishing industry can be a doozy!). Over the course of many open and honest conversations, a deep dive into your existing content (blogs, podcasts, videos, etc.), and my own research, I’ll get to know who you are, your why for writing, and your book's intended impact on the reader. All you'll need to do is sit back, relax, and allow me to do the heavy lifting of turning your idea or first draft into an engaging, marketable book.

​

How It Works:​

1. You’ll sign a Nondisclosure Guarantee to protect your intellectual property, and we'll have a free 30-minute discovery call to talk all about your book and vision. If we're a good fit, we'll sign a contract.

​

2. We'll have a series of open conversations, I'll conduct my own research, and we'll collaborate to develop a detailed book outline.

​

3. Using the information from our calls, I’ll ghostwrite your book chapter by chapter, sharing my questions and prompts as they come up and giving you the opportunity to revise in whatever way makes the most sense for you (via email, video call, or directly in the document).

 

4. I'll send the ghostwritten manuscript to a maximum of three vetted beta readers in your genre to get additional feedback, then you and I will revise as necessary.

 

5. Finally, I'll complete a line/copy edit on the manuscript, then send you on your way with: 1) a sample query letter and a list of agents and indie publishers that are accepting titles in your genre or 2) a comprehensive self-publishing checklist.
