Writing Coach

You may even have a draft started, but it sits there staring at you, wondering if it will ever be finished. You’ve come too far to leave it, but you don’t know how to move forward. Or maybe inspiration has hit, and you know the story you want to tell but just don’t know where to start or how to get those words onto the page.

Well, I’m glad you found me in this little corner of the world! I've been there..the doubt, the questions and overwhelm that set in as the dream of one day writing a book slowly fades away.

As I’ve dared to find my voice and tell my story, I’ve learnt so much about overcoming those things that threaten to take you out before you’ve even written a word!

As your writing coach, I’d love to take you from the thoughts inside your head that whisper, ‘I don’t know if I can, what would I write, and would anyone read it?’ to believing you were made for this as those words start to form your first draft! That’s right! You’ll discover your unique voice, what it has to say, and the audience that needs to hear it!

When your draft is on that page, I’d love to help you with the first edit so YOUR voice is heard in every word. And when it comes to seeing your book reach your audience,  I can help you navigate the sometimes confusing world of publishing.

You’ve got a story to tell, a message to share…

It's your time to rise up…you know, from the inside and even with a whisper, dare to find your voice and tell your story one adventurous word at a time!

Here’s what you’ll receive in your coaching sessions

  • Personal Approach

    Each story-writing adventure is as unique as the story itself. As your writing coach, I’ll step into your writing process whatever page you are on and help you tell your story, your way.

  • Step by Step Guide

    I’d love to help you brainstorm and order the ideas swarming around in your head and give you practical tips on writing; the why, when and how. I’ll also work closely with you to help identify and overcome those mindsets and beliefs that try to stop you from writing and releasing your book into the world.

  • Encouragement

    As your writing coach, I will be your number one cheer squad, your encourager and the one who believes in you on the days when you really don’t think you can. I will walk alongside you through the writing process until you are ready to sign your very first copy.

  • As a faith writer, I deeply appreciated Fiona’s ability to listen and be guided by the Holy Spirit which in turn brought great encouragement to me. I’ll be back again because I think that Ebook needs to be put into a print version. Thanks Fiona for all you do and the person you are.

    Nicci (Australia)

  • Fiona asked me questions to help draw out of me what I wanted to achieve, my goal and purpose for the book. Sifting through the pages, she corresponded with valuable suggestions and observations that helped me refine the story’s structure and enhance its flow. Fiona guided me through the process and provided me with all the information I needed. She was extremely helpful and supportive.
