Ready to write your best book?
I help fiction writers answer their story questions, overcome imposter syndrome, and stay focused and accountable so they can finish their novel with confidence!
Writing a book is hard.
Anyone who tells you differently is lying. Most of us spend months and years working and reworking our pages. We take courses, workshops, trade feedback in writing groups. But we never seem to get to the finish line: solidly structured, polished pages that are ready to introduce themselves to an agent or the wider world via self-publishing.
You can do it. I can help.
As your book coach, I’m here to help herd those idea cats, translate them into compelling scenes, and keep you on track when you feel like you’re going to tear your hair out. From first draft to final, you’ll have a tough love cheerleader—constructive criticism to make your writing the best it can be, with a huge dose of compassion and encouragement.
Why Me?
Books—and more generally words—have always been a huge part of my life. I have two writing degrees, Author Accelerator book coaching certification, and way more than 10K hours of reading and writing expertise! You get an empathetic ear who will root for you but not sugarcoat the places where you can improve and give you needed support and accountability to get you across the finish line.
Let’s Get To Work!
With my Bite-Sized Jumpstart, you get feedback on 10 pages of your manuscript and a feel for what it would be like to work together—for only $99!
Kerry brings so many things to the table as a mentor, editor and coach. One of the qualities I most appreciate is her grounding presence. Ideas take shape and details get ironed out, because Kerry asks you to go deeper with your story - and helps ask the questions that will get you there. Writing a novel requires you to think of both the forest and the individual trees, and Kerry is right alongside the writer - asking questions about sentence structure, acting as a sounding board for ideas or themes, making sure you don't get lost with either. My manuscript has improved greatly thanks to her support and positive attitude. She also has both academic and practical knowledge which is incredibly helpful. In working with her, my characters became real people, and the choices they make now reflect that reality and relatability. Could not recommend her services more!
