Coaching Questions…

Got Some Questions on the Coaching After Last Night’s Bog

Mostly just what the heck is it? So figured I would bring up the original post and update it on how things are really working after a bunch of months now. Actually since February.

Kris and I have talked a lot about how fiction writers have for one reason or another trouble getting their work out to readers. And often when this builds up, it causes a slowdown in the writing itself. A form of writer’s block.

It turns out, every writer seems to be stuck at a very different place. And the topic is so huge, it just can’t be covered in a few workshops or classes.

Some writers are stuck right at the start, facing the seemingly massive task of learning how to simply format a book in Vellum, learn how to do their own cover, and then learn how to do sales copy and the different things needed to get the story or novel on Amazon and the other places. And even where to put their work.

Other writers have done the basics, but have not one clue as to how to set it up as a business and what to do with even coffee money coming in.  They need help on just the basic business things needed to set a firm foundation under a writing career.

Other writers I hear having trouble with even pretending to understand how to get the word out on their work in marketing, especially with so much bogus information out there. Marketing in the new world is actually pretty easy and cheap, if not a way to make money, but you have to know how to do it and that is the problem for many.

Other writers don’t see modern sales paths, ways of getting their work to readers and finding and building new readers as they go.

Those are the main areas that I decided I could help some writers with coaching them one-on-one through the problems they face. Get the writer past the fears that force non-action.

Here is what I am offering.

I will one-on-one coach you for as long as it takes. We work together at the start to see which area  you want to work your way through, then set up a schedule that fits your world, and you report into me every few weeks and we adjust or move to the next step in the process. I will give you the entire process ahead so you always know what you are working for. I will be available at any point for questions, of course.

How it has been working is that the process is slow for most and I check in with them every month or so. And a few are getting ready to start.

I have room for two more writers that I can help with this coaching. Cost is $500 one time fee for as long as it takes.

— If you are already working with me being your mentor, you can write me and switch to a focus of one of these areas. No cost, of course. And then after the focus you can go back to the regular mentor reporting you are doing. But if you do one of these, I would like you to focus on it. Let me know.

— The How to Achieve Your Dream class will cover some basics, but not in a coaching and focused way.

— THIS IS NOT CRAFT. This is all on the business of publishing side. I am coaching you to help you sell more.

If you want great craft help, at an intense level, write me, I think Kris has an opening for one or two more at the moment since a few of her early ones are finished. That intensive craft focus is one-one-one with Kris, assignments you must do every two weeks and lasts for six months. The cost is $2,000, but wow is that worth it. Write me on that and I will get you over to Kris.

— And sorry, this is not on Teachable or the Writer’s Store, so no subscriptions or credits can apply. This is just me doing this. (And Kris with the craft focus.)

So write me if interested and tell me exactly what area you are interested in me helping you one-on-one coaching on the business side. $500 for as long as it takes.

I have been having fun with this since February and at least feel I am helping a few writers start to get their work out to readers.

UPDATES on other stuff…

— I have one full mentorship available. Been available for a while now. Yes, it can include this and will go into the future as long as you want. Write me if interested. Cost is $3,000.

— There is one and only one Lifetime Subscription to In-Person workshops left. When that is gone we will close those up for another four or five years. Or until one opens up. Cost is $3,000. Write me if interested.

— You can get a Lifetime Subscription to Everything on Teachable for half price. ($5,000 or less if you have another lifetime subscription.)  Write me if interested.
