Coaching

If you’ve found me here do you recognise yourself in the following?

You’ve worked so hard to become a published author.

You’re passionate about your writing and want to make an impact with your books.

This is your career and you want it to succeed, and continue.

On one hand everything looks great on paper.

You’ve made it. You’re a published author, several times over.

You’ve had the excitement of launches, reader reviews, maybe events and media splashes, you’ve seen your books in store. You’ve got a publisher and an agent.

This is what you worked so hard for.

You’ve built the author career that a few years ago you were just dreaming of.

But something doesn’t feel right.

You hadn’t realised it would feel so hard at this point.

There are things that feel really difficult but you’re worried about sharing them with anyone.

It might be that you’re worried about attention moving from you to the seemingly exciting new debut authors, that the retailers might stop stocking your books, that all that you’ve built could suddenly end at any moment and be taken away. Maybe there’s been a change in your team which has been unsettling, or your sales have been disappointing.

Combine these worries with the pressure to write more books, and not just any books but books that will also take away all of these concerns and it’s no wonder that you feel lost.

Or do you recognise yourself here

Maybe your confidence is slowly ebbing away making it incredibly hard to focus on your next book.

Maybe you are so worried that you have to do everything that is asked of you you take on more and more things that are asked of you and start to feel like you’re heading towards burnout.

Maybe you feel lonely with only your inner critic chipping away at you to keep you company.

There might be things that you could talk to your editor and/or agent about, but you are really worried about rocking the boat and drawing attention to your concerns when you want them to believe in you.

My guess is that this is also beginning to impact your wider life and wellbeing.

This is why I’ve created The Confident

and Renewed Author Experience

This is my signature coaching programme and designed to help established authors who are struggling in their careers to overcome challenges, regain their confidence, and thrive in their writing careers.

I want you to feel empowered, positive, confident and that you have agency and influence and are not a passive participant in your own career.

I want you to feel energised, creative and thriving so you are excited by your career and your future.

I want you to feel in control, balanced and feeling good and positive.

Are you at another stage of your publishing journey but still needing support?

I’ve worked with authors at all stages including authors who are not yet signed, or signed but not published, or in the early stage of their careers. Whatever stage you’re at my support is available if that is what you need.

My coaching is always tailored to your individual needs and challenges. If you want to find out more then let’s have a chat. It’s very informal, we can talk about your situation and you can ask any questions you have about working with me.
