Coaching

Let’s face it: you are meant to be a published author.

You have BIG ideas, INCREDIBLE stories, and a ton of value to share.

All you need to do is buckle down and actually WRITE them all, so you can flash forward to holding your finished manuscript, complete with a title page that reads…

…“by [just insert your name here].”

Cue the Amazon reviews, influx of new clients and/or fans, and maybe even a movie deal.* 😉

*Preferably directed by Sofia Coppola or Wes Anderson if we’re splitting hairs here.

But getting from blank page to shaking hands at your book signing is no walk in the park.

Trust me, I know.

I’ve written quite a few books myself, and I’ve helped over 100 writers become authors, so I know ALL about the struggles of writing.

There’s…

  • The “but I have no time” problem.
  • The “but I don’t feel inspired right now” problem.
  • The “but I don’t know what to write” problem.
  • And, the worst of them all, the “but what if it’s not good enough” problem.

The good news is I’m here to help you with ALL of those problems (and then some).

Because writing a book doesn’t have to be hard.

Lucky for YOU, I’ve got tons of tricks to make it easy.

Just imagine that writer’s block is a vampire, and I’m like Buffy… swooping in to help you SLAY that ‘ish.

There are 3 ways I typically support writers with getting their book done…

Don’t know what to write?

THE PROLOGUE is for you.
  • Spend a few hours with me, and we’ll outline your book and your writing schedule.

THE PROLOGUE

Let’s plan your book in a day.

So you know you want to write a book. If it’s fiction, you’ve probably got the characters swimming around your head. If it’s non-fiction, you’re asking yourself how anyone structures all of their thoughts and ideas into a chapter outline.

You can SEE the finished product in your head, but the details? Not so much.

And you’re not someone who can get started without a roadmap of where you’re going.

They say that half the struggle of writing is knowing what you’re going to write!

So you need a map, a strategy, a plan.

You need an outline.

That’s exactly what The Prologue is for.

Here’s how it works:

1 We jam on Skype for 90 minutes about your book idea and hone in on the story (or stories) you want to tell, the ideas, and all of the moving parts.

2 We hammer out a general outline for your book, taking all of your brilliant ideas into consideration.

3 We break for 15 minutes so you can take a breather and implement some of the outline writing.

4 We get back on for another 90 minutes and get more detailed, diving into the chapter-by-chapter outline and what needs to happen in each to keep the book compelling and moving forward.

5 We finish by creating your plan of attack (a.k.a. your writing schedule) and put all of those dates into your calendar so you can get it done.

"Working with Sarah has been one of the best decisions of my writing career thus far. Not only is she incredibly helpful and smart, but she consistently went above and beyond to ensure that our work together remained a possibility. The PROLOGUE package that Sarah offers to her clients is amazing and one of a kind. After spending just a few hours with Sarah on Skype, I managed to plot out my entire novel from start to finish, delve deeper into the backgrounds and motivations of my characters, and create a writing schedule. Our monthly calls with one another have been hugely beneficial in ensuring that I remain on task and reach my writing goals. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking to start and complete their writing projects. I’ve not only gained a wonderful writing coach throughout this process, but a friend as well!"

THE BESTSELLER

Get your book planned and written with 6 months of support.

Sure, having an outline is one thing–but writing is ANOTHER.

It seems like something is always getting in the way: work, hunger, fatigue, needing to feed your Corgis.

When it comes time to write, you’re actually REALLY good at coming up with every excuse in the book to NOT do it. It’s not that you don’t like writing. It’s just that there’s that little voice in your head whispering that you don’t know what you’re doing or posing questions like “who are YOU to write a book?”

Well I say, who are you to NOT write your book!?

Listen to me, and listen well: THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR BOOK.

I would be a better person if I read your book, okay?

Which is why I’m extra happy you’re reading this–because I know you’re just one step away from committing to getting the support you need to make it happen.

Now, as a writer myself, I know what you need (because I know what ALL writers need):

  • Love
  • Structure
  • Accountability
  • Constructive Feedback
  • Coffee
  • Pep Talks
  • Cozy Slippers.

And that’s why I created a package that includes ALL of the above (except for the slippers and coffee, but we can add those to the cart if you really want).

THE BESTSELLER is my bestseller for this very reason:

It supports writers in their process with the guidance they need not just to write, but to write their best book possible.

"Let Sarah do her job! Hiring Sarah was a huge blessing to me and my writing process. After receiving the developmental edits for my manuscript, I can tell you I was taken aback. This was my first book, and I thought I had it all together. Sarah’s questions and attention to detail propelled me into a 'writer's mindset' that I was not aware was available to me. Allowing Sarah to guide me through her process and listening to her insights caused me to dig deep and write an incredible body of work that hit #1 within six hours of releasing it."

“For my first project (a Christian devotional/workbook), I spent a good deal of time online trying to find a young, hip editor with professional experience that was cross-cultural. That was a tall order and not an easy find, as you can imagine! After learning of her background, I knew The Bookish Fox was the coolest name ever AND the right copy editor for me! I found Sarah's feedback to be concise, genuine, and thorough. The comments she provided opened my eyes to needs in my manuscript that I was previously blind to. Communication with Sarah was helpful and scheduling time together was convenient. I am also happy to say that Sarah is as talented as she is cool :). I highly recommend The Bookish Fox and plan to work with her again in the future.”
