Writing Coach

Writing a book is a long-term commitment. It may be difficult to carve yourself a space to write every day. You may lose motivation, get stuck on plotting or storyline issues, need help in defining some characters. Accountability may help you avoid turning your book into a never-ending story. You may also need a more specific mentoring tied to what you write.

I can help you avoid all the minefields that are between your idea to start a book and the completed novel, memoir, or non-fiction story.

What do writing coaches do?

Writing coaches help promising writers realise their potential, improve performance, and refine their talent. They provide support throughout the writing process from planning to completion, and help clients clarify writing goals, overcome writer’s block, increase confidence, and produce higher-quality work. Writing coaches offer support and actionable feedback to help writers organise and refine their work.

How does it work?

We have regular sessions (you decide the frequency) where we celebrate your progress, discuss your difficulties and set realistic targets. If you like, I can read part of your manuscript and send you an assessment (5,000 pages are the equivalent of one hour of coaching).

You can book your first session here.

How much does it cost?

The first thirty minutes are free.

One-off one-hour session £60, €72, $75

Group of five sessions £270, €324, $337.5

Group of ten sessions £480, €573.7, $598.4

Other arrangements for retainers.

Payment due at the time of booking a one-off session, or 50% at the time of booking and 50% after the second session (group of five), or after the fourth session (group of 10).

You can pay using Stripe or Paypal

About me

After too many years in the city, I started writing fiction in 2019. I have published five books and a collection of short stories, and I write a blog and published articles on aviation in an Italian magazine. I write in English, Italian, German, and French, but coaching will only be in English and Italian.

I specialise in historical fiction, crime fiction, and memoirs. In the non-fiction sector, I specialise in finance, travel, aviation, history, and linguistic.
