Book coach for smart, soulful people ready to finish their book
You've carried this book idea for ages. It's time to write it down.
I’m Cynthia Morris, a nonfiction book coach based in Denver, working with writers around the world. For nearly 30 years I’ve helped smart, soulful people turn piles of ideas into clear, organized books, and then actually write them.
I bring two things most writers can’t give themselves: structure for your ideas and steady support through the fear and doubt that come with putting yourself on the page.

"Cynthia's supportive accountability was critical to keep me going when I otherwise may have quit….Her coaching was invaluable in getting a draft of my book done….Cynthia supported me through creating a book proposal that was far superior to anything I could have done on my own." Cynthia Lusk, author, Align and Refine
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT AS YOUR COACH
There are two major aspects of writing that I help people with, and they may surprise you.
Left-brain systems understanding
One of the main skills I bring to my coaching clients is structure.
Clients often say I have a laser-sharp focus and ‘hit the nail on the head’. I see what they don’t.
The clarity we generate allows them to get their ideas down much more quickly. But that’s only half of the work.
Right-brain
empathy
Writing is one of the most vulnerable and scary things we can do.
Three main monsters stand at the gate, preventing us from entering our genius zone of writing:
- fear of not having something to say
- fear of merely repeating what is already out there and
- fear of not being a good enough writer.
No one is immune to insecurity about writing - not even my smart, accomplished, and soulful clients.
"Novelist and creative writing coach Morris provides a feast of bite-size information, exercises, and encouragement… Her insightful book should spark reflection and promote creativity in practically any writer." Publishers Weekly, starred review

Map Your Book
You are crystal-clear about your book's focus. You've had this idea for years. You're ready to write your book so you can get your ideas into the world. But...you have no idea how to start and are lost when it comes to organizing your ideas. Sitting down to write? You avoid it.
Map Your Book Coaching Program to the rescue! In this four-month intensive, you will get the clarity you need to confidently draft your book.
I’ll help you map out your book. Together we will:
- organize your ideas under one cohesive angle or purpose
- define a structure for the book
- identify your reader to make writing sooooo much easier.
Map Your Book clears the mental and emotional clutter to help you organize your ideas into a book people want to read.
Can be used to write a book proposal.

“Signing up for Cynthia’s coaching is by far the best investment I’ve ever made. Three years of talking to my friends about writing a book, and I had nothing. Six months of Cynthia coaching, and I finished my book.” Rami Nuseir
Stay on Track
You have your book already mapped out. Or another project you're ready to commit to. And you're a busy person with a lot of commitments. You just need a working partner to keep going.
Work with me in monthly coaching sessions to have the accountability and support you need to keep writing a book or other project.
This is for people who have a project, who know what goes into it, and who just need support to get past inner and outer obstacles to stay on track.
I will help you feel clear, focused, and supported for six consecutive months on your project.
We begin with a strategy session to set your goals and focus. After that, we touch in monthly for brainstorming, inspiration, to keep you on track.
Includes:
- 6 60-minute coaching calls, one per month
- Up to one hour of feedback per month on your writing
- Email support as needed.
All six sessions will be completed within a six-month period. Best to schedule all calls at once to guarantee the times you want.
You will love having someone on your team to hold you accountable to your project.
Your investment: $2600.
