Authors
We love working directly with authors, developing ideas, editing material collaboratively and overcoming stumbling blocks on the path to publication.
We aim to support both authors and editors, helping to ensure that there are no surprises on deadline day.
Author coaching
We offer a range of packages for authors, wherever you are in your writing career. Whether you are an expert in your field who has been offered a commission but has little writing experience, a seasoned academic juggling multiple writing projects, or a first-time author with an idea for a book but unsure where to start, we can provide you with the support you need.
We know that it’s not always easy to find the time to write, and that while some projects flow effortlessly others can be more of a struggle. We offer accountability packages with regular check-ins, single hour-long workshops focused on a specific issue, and commission-driven sessions to help make sure you are hitting your brief. Coaching offers the perfect blend of consultancy and editorial feedback, providing you with the confidence and motivation you need to take your book forward.
Power hour
Book a one-off hour-long session to discuss your project. Whether you want to brainstorm ideas, discuss a stumbling block in your manuscript, or hammer out the structure of your book, this hour is for you to get the support you need on any element of your writing project.

Writing for a commission
As an expert in your field you’ve been commissioned to write a book but don’t know where to start. You’re juggling writing with work commitments and, faced with a brief and deadline, you’re feeling overwhelmed.
From help with structuring your manuscript to advice on picture research, and from guidance in adhering to house style and publisher guidelines to getting to grips with a writing routine, we can support you.
This package includes editorial feedback on your first chapter, with discounted rates for further chapters, four hour-long face-to-face sessions (via Zoom) and a weekly email check-in. Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly, depending on your deadline, and as part of this package we can also offer feedback and progress reports to your editorial team as required.

Staying accountable
Whether you're struggling with conflicting deadlines and priorities, feeling overwhelmed by a publishing project, or finding yourself doing anything but writing despite a looming deadline, this is the package for you.
We can offer the support and sympathetic ear you need, or else the firm hand and nudge towards your targets. We will work with you to find solutions to the stumbling blocks in your writing journey and help you to maintain momentum, as well as setting tangible goals and ensuring you meet them.
These are focused sessions followed by focused writing time, providing you with the drive you need to bring your book to fruition.
This package includes four hour-long face-to-face sessions (via Zoom), including an initial goal-setting session, and a weekly email check-in. Sessions can be weekly, fortnightly or monthly depending on your deadline and personal targets.
