If you ever left a workshop feeling fired up and empowered to write your book, but the fire seems to have died…

Or often you think about sitting down to pound out a paragraph or a page, then berate yourself when you don’t follow through…

Or you created an outline, eagerly started the first chapter, and then life got in the way…

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

Generating a book-length manuscript is a lot like trying to wrangle an octopus — from the internal forces (perfectionism to name just one) that keep you from the blank page, to the external demands pulling on you daily.

Then there’s wrangling the work itself, a messy process that is inherently uncertain (creativity is just like that). And of course, you’ll face the mechanics of not just writing but generating work that is authentic and aligned with the essence of your story or message.

As your coach, I’ll be your partner in the wrangling.

Each writer has their own, unique path, and each book has its own trajectory. To me, coaching is about having a safe, challenging space in which writers receive clear guidance and encouragement, allowing them to focus on the challenges unique to their writing process, project, and pace.

In lieu of a method or a step-by-step formula, you’ll receive:

• Both concise and nuanced feedback aligned with your voice and vision for your book (verbal and written feedback)
• Expert guidance towards unexpected breakthroughs that will move your project forward
• Support in discovering the structure of your book as you write and revise
• Help with making and keeping a realistic, doable writing schedule.

My coaching style can be described as equal parts intuition and intellect. I lead and follow my clients with empathy, curiosity and a commitment to helping them produce work they’re proud of. Work that is soulful and even, artful.

Tell me about your project and writing challenges!

Email me at leowdoyle@gmail.com. If it seems like we could be a good fit, the next step is a complimentary, one-hour coaching call.

And if we decide to work together beyond this, you’ll receive:

• Two live coaching sessions per month on Zoom, focused on reviewing your work, identifying obstacles, and maintaining your momentum.
• Written feedback on your work in between sessions (up to 8 pages per session), offering reflections that strengthen your instincts.
• “Book-ending” writing sessions and other milestones to stay accountable to your writing goals.

Along the way, I’ll support you in mining both the content and the structure of your book. And because all strong writing is the result of revision, you won’t just create a publishable manuscript—you’ll also witness and celebrate your evolution as a writer as your book takes shape.

Fee Structure

$250 per live coaching session, which includes written feedback on up to eight pages per session, for a minimum of two sessions or $500 per month.
