Your Writing
Coach
Enjoy the power
of having a
writing coach on
your team
There’s a
certain point in
your writing
life when you
don’t need more
information
about how to
write. You’ve
taken the
classes, you’ve
learned the
basics, and now
you need to put
your brilliant
idea to paper.
You also know
that if you
don’t write,
you’re not going
to be happy. You
must write your
memoir, that
business book or
that novel.
You’re meant
to write this
and you’re
determined to do
it this year.
Here’s the
secret you don’t
want anyone to
know, and
perhaps you
can’t even admit
to yourself:
You’re scared to
death of
actually doing
your project.
You’re
successful in
every other area
of your life and
don’t want to
face how
difficult it
feels to work on
your project.
So you use the
best fake excuse
that most of us
can legitimately
claim: you’re
too busy. You
don’t have time
to write your
book.
It’s normal to
be scared. I
have felt fear
throughout the
process of
writing my two
books and five
e-books. But all
along the way I
got help, and
that allowed me
to complete my
creative
projects.
While I haven’t
found a way to
eliminate fears,
I have developed
strategies to
help my clients
produce work
despite them.
I can help
you enjoy your
writing process
so you complete
the projects you
take on.
 How can I help
you make writing
easier?
Over ten years
as a coach for
writers and
fifteen years as
a writer myself,
I’ve discovered
that what works
is a
writing practice
designed for
your unique
needs and goals.
I’ve written a
basic blueprint
for crafting
your writing
practice in my
book Create
Your Writer’s
Life: A Guide to
Writing with Joy
and Ease.
Your Writing
Coach package
adds three vital
pieces to
completing
projects:
-
an honest,
enthusiastic
sounding
board
-
resources
for your
specific
project
-
accountability
to get
things done,
and enjoy
the process.
I
respect the
power of
commitment and
ongoing support
so
I’m offering a
year-long
coaching package
for writers who
are ready to
make satisfying
progress on
their writing
projects.
This is not a
coaching group.
This is one-one
coaching. From
January to
December,
we’ll develop a
strategic plan
for writing that
you can fit into
your already
busy life.
The power of
this commitment
is that it’s
designed for
your needs and
goals. Writing
classes and
books are useful
to develop your
writing craft
and gain
knowledge of the
market;
a
coach helps you
actually bring
your ideas into
form more
quickly and
easily.
I will help you:
-
Identify
your
intrinsic
and
extrinsic
motivations
for doing
your project
–
helps you
stay focused
-
Develop a
writing
schedule
that works
for you –
you can
fit the
writing in
with the
rest of life
-
Stay on
track when
inner and
outer
obstacles
threaten to
derail you
–
stay
focused
despite
life’s
challenges
-
Expand and
develop your
ideas –
honest
feedback
that keeps
you aligned
with your
project’s
purpose
-
Share
resources
and
introduce
you to
colleagues
who can help
you –
saves
you time and
effort.
This package
isn’t for
everyone, and I
will only work
with a few
clients this
way.
Before you
contact me about
getting started,
check to see if
you meet these
three criteria.
You’re:
Ready
– You know what
you want to
write even if
you don’t know
how.
Willing
– You’re going
to encounter
obstacles, but
with my help
you’re willing
to work through
them to get to
the results you
want.
Able
– You haven’t
buried yourself
under so many
other
obligations that
you can’t make
time needed to
produce writing.
In the course of
a year
innumerable
obstacles can
pull you away
from your
project.
Together we’ll
help you adjust
for
circumstances
and stay on
track with your
project.
At the end of
the year, we’ll
celebrate your
progress and
completion.
We’ll chart a
path for next
steps for you
and your work.

Why a year?
A year can seem
like a long
time, but in
reality, it
takes time to
produce lasting
results.
My most
successful
clients – the
ones who
complete
projects – are
the ones who
stick with it
(and me) for the
long haul.
Writing a book
or publishing a
successful blog
takes longer
than three
months.
With the Your
Writing Coach
package, you
have me on your
team for the
whole year, with
a significant
discount for the
commitment.
My successful
clients
I can only say
so much about
how valuable
coaching can be.
Here’s what a
few of my
clients say
about how hiring
me as their
writing coach
helped them
exceed their
goals:
 "Cynthia, I
didn't listen to
you when you
encouraged me to
think of my book
as a good source
of income. I was
hell-bent on
seeing it as a
marketing tool.
"Well, it's been
both. Sales of
my book now make
up 33% of my
income. And the
first two years
we worked
together, my
income increased
40% each year!
"The book has
been an entree
into amazing
speaking
opportunities
like three
keynote
addresses and
ten major
workshops (in 12
states) since it
was released.
"Your coaching is
invaluable to
any author who
has a book in
her. I'm
self-motivated,
but my success
would have taken
a lot longer
without you on
my team. Thank
you!"

Monica Parker
worked with me
to help her
develop her
business as a
career coach for
lawyers. From
that came her
first book and a
deal for a
second book.
“With Cynthia’s
help, I left the
practice of law,
started my own
venture, and now
have two book
deals. Who
can’t use a
partner like
that?!”

Katy Piotrowski
wanted to bring
her career
expertise to a
wider audience.
It was clear she
had to write a
book but needed
help staying on
track. Now her
five-book
Career Coward
series reaches
hundreds more
 people who are
looking for
better work.
“I have
published my
Career Coward
series, and I
owe so much of
it to Cynthia. I
was having
trouble staying
accountable to
myself for
putting together
a book proposal.
Working with
Cynthia, I
gained
accountability,
great ideas, and
the confidence
to keep moving
forward.
"I
am so pleased
with how Cynthia
helped me
achieve my
goals. Thank
you, Cynthia!”

fruition.
