Writer Coaching
The End.
Imagine you’ve just typed those two amazing little words at the conclusion of YOUR novel.
You’ve written every word of the story that’s lived in your head,
now sentences and paragraphs and chapters on the page that you can share with the world.
You’re ecstatic, because you’ve done the work that takes you from an idea to a reality.
Did you read that and think, “I want that” ?
Have you been wishing to write a book so you can share it with others or say you did it or even maybe publish some day?
If that’s you, then you’ve come the right place.
My name is Jill. I’m a writer, teacher, and coach with twenty years of writing experience.
I’ve written many novels and taught even more students how to plan and create fiction that brings the stories in their head to life.
I can help you too.
Together, we will build a roadmap that will take you from the idea stages to building a synopsis to writing your book to typing
THE END.
