1:1 Coaching sessions


Finish the Book You Set Out to Write

Writing a book is exciting, rewarding, and sometimes overwhelming. Book coaching gives you an experienced, encouraging partner while your manuscript takes shape.

Most clients meet with Dianne for one-hour sessions every week, every other week, or once a month. Together, you’ll work through plot problems, character development, pacing, revisions, accountability, or whatever is keeping your manuscript from moving forward.

Some authors begin with coaching, continue into editing, and later choose to publish with Current Words. Others simply want support until they reach “The End.” There is no single path. We’ll take it one step at a time and decide what makes the most sense for you and your book.


What Coaching Can Help With

  • Developing or organizing your story
  • Working through difficult chapters
  • Strengthening plot, pacing, and characters
  • Revising an existing draft
  • Building a realistic writing routine
  • Staying accountable
  • Understanding the next steps toward editing, querying, or publication

Growing Together

Book coaching is about more than finishing a manuscript. It’s about growing as a writer while bringing your book to life. Every coaching relationship is different, but my goal is always the same: to encourage your progress, answer your questions, and help you become a stronger writer along the way.

“Her advice was carefully given, but opened pathways I didn’t know existed. Her compliments, though unexpected, gave me hope.”

“Instead of giving me short answers to each of my many questions, she responded with thorough explanations and valuable additional resources to explore.”

“I feel like I learned things as a writer thanks to this collaboration.”

Rates

Book coaching is $60 per one-hour session.

Most authors choose to meet weekly, every other week, or once a month, depending on their writing goals and schedule.

Before we begin, we’ll meet for a complimentary 30-minute Zoom consultation to discuss your manuscript, your goals, and whether coaching is the right fit. If we decide to work together, we’ll find a schedule that works well for both of us.

To make the most of each session, you’ll send a portion of your manuscript in advance so Dianne can review it beforehand. That way, your time together is focused on meaningful discussion, thoughtful feedback, and practical next steps. You’re also welcome to email questions between sessions.

If you ever need to reschedule, simply provide at least 24 hours’ notice, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.


New Client Special

Many coaching clients continue into editing and, when their manuscript is ready, choose to publish with Current Words. Others simply work with Dianne until they reach “The End.” Every author’s journey is different, and we’re honored to be part of it.

Authors who complete their manuscripts through our coaching program also receive discounted rates on future editing and publishing services.
