Finish Writing the Novel You've Been Dreaming Of!
Do you struggle with procrastination, imposter syndrome, or simply don’t know what to write?
Do you want someone to help you focus on your projects, talk in depth about your stories, and write a fabulous book you can be proud of?
If so, you’ve come to the right place!
I’m an Author Accelerator-certified book coach, with 15 years of fiction writing experience. I’m also a psychotherapist, which gives me extra insight into helping clients with perfectionism, anxiety, low-self-confidence, and other problems.
Moreover, I specialize in helping neurodivergent clients. I myself have ADHD and autism. Finally, I am gay, trans, nonbinary, and POC (I’m Chinese). This gives me a deeper understanding of gender, sexuality, and culture in stories.
What to Expect When You Work With Me
For USD $1,000 per month, I make developmental edits on up to 2,500 words of your manuscript each week.
At the end of each week, I’ll email you to remind you to send me the next update of your manuscript (up to 2,500 words max).
I’ll invite you to talk about what worked or what didn’t work for you, when it comes to getting writing done, or any challenges or triumphs during the writing process.
Every 2 weeks, we have a 1-hour Zoom call. This means 2 Zoom calls per month.
This will be a 3-month commitment, so that you can make real headway in your progress, rather than giving up too quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
- I don't have any time or energy to do this. I'm already so busy with family, school, and work. How could I add writing to my already overflowing to-do list?
It all comes down to priorities. If you literally have zero time or energy to work on your projects, it sounds like you might have to cut out some unnecessary tasks and obligations from your life.
I will be happy to help you find ways to get more time and energy to write again. But you need to be willing to let go of things. Otherwise, you'll always be stuck in the hamster wheel of just reacting to demands from school, work, and family, with no time left for yourself.
- No one reads books anymore, especially not fiction books. Why should I write a book when nobody buys them anymore?
This is actually a myth! Check out this article with evidence on how tons of people still buy books, including fiction books.
- You're not a bestselling author. How can you help me?
Being bestselling doesn't mean someone can help you with your own book! Also, there are some hacks and tips to become a bestselling author these days, which have nothing to do with the quality of the book itself. I would much rather help you write a fantastic, solid novel, which you can be proud of. We can then talk about strategies for maximizing your reach to readers.
- The chances of me becoming the next Stephen King/ J.K. Rowling/ Isaac Asimov are nil. Why should I bother?
First of all, let's examine some assumptions. Why do you need to be famous for your writing to be worthwhile? Fame is cool, but with enough effort, persistence, and good marketing strategies, you can reach many readers. No guarantees that you will reach massive levels of fame, but you can definitely develop a sizable, respectable fanbase of readers who will absolutely adore and appreciate your books!
