Know Your Book
Three private coaching sessions to understand your book and and know what to write next.
You want to write this book. Where do you go next?
Perhaps you’ve started several times. Perhaps you have pages you love, but can’t see how they fit together. Or your idea has changed, and the plan you began with no longer works.
You sit down to write and find yourself going over the same questions.
What is this book really about? What belongs in it? Why do I keep getting stuck?
In Know Your Book, we explore those questions together, using your ideas and whatever you’ve written as our starting point.
I help you see the connections, make decisions about your book and find a way of working that suits you.
You leave with a clearer understanding of your book and practical next steps for writing it.
Why Write Wild?
My approach brings together story, creativity and the natural world. A change of surroundings, a small act of noticing or an unexpected question can help you see possibilities you’ve missed at your desk.
In our sessions, we bring that curiosity to your book. I listen closely to what you want to write and help you explore the patterns, questions and connections emerging in your words.
The Write Wild Method is a way of reading your own writing for what it knows before you do.
We use what we discover to make practical decisions about your book—what to develop, what to leave out and where to go next. Along the way, we find ways of writing that work with your imagination and your life.
Three Sessions. Three Shifts.
SEE — Understand where you are
We explore your ideas, any writing you bring and the places where you get stuck. Together, we begin to identify what your book is about and what needs attention.
SHIFT — Explore a way forward
We work with the questions that emerge—perhaps your focus, structure, confidence or how you approach the writing. You try out possibilities and make decisions with my support.
GO — Know your next steps
We bring together what you’ve discovered into a practical plan: what to write next, what to develop and how to keep moving in a way that fits your life.
A clearer understanding of your book. Decisions you can build on. A plan for what comes next.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have started writing my book?
No. You might have a partial manuscript, a collection of notes, several false starts or simply a book you know you want to write. We begin wherever you and your book are now.
What happens in the three sessions?
We move through SEE → SHIFT → GO. First, we look closely at your book and what's really keeping you stuck. Then we explore how you write best and work differently with the writing itself. Finally, we bring everything together so you know what your book needs next and how you want to move forward.
How long is each session?
60 minutes, privately with me on Zoom.
Will I finish my book in three sessions?
The sessions focus on understanding your book, working through what’s stopping you and developing a practical way forward. How much you write will depend on your starting point and the work you do between sessions.
What happens after I buy?
You'll get access to your private coaching area, where we can communicate directly. I'll welcome you personally and we'll arrange your first session. Before we meet, I'll ask you a few questions about your book so we can make the most of our time together.
