Accountability

Accountability Support for Writers Who Want Consistent Momentum

A gentle-but-firm 1:1 partnership that helps you build sustainable habits, stay focused, and make meaningful progress—without hustle, pressure, or shame.

Writing is easier when you don’t have to hold all the structure yourself.

If you’re tired of losing momentum, drifting off your draft, or feeling stuck in the cycle of start-stall-start again, Accountability gives you a supportive container to keep going. You’re not left alone with your goals. You’re supported through them.

This service is intentionally lighter-touch but still powerful. It gives you direction, steady encouragement, and regular check-ins, so you always know what you’re working on and why.

How it works

  1. Apply below (3 minutes)

  2. Choose cadence + set your first goals

  3. Check in → adjust → keep moving

What we do

Accountability helps you…

  • Build a sustainable writing rhythm

  • Create clear, realistic goals

  • Track progress in a gentle, nonjudgmental environment

  • Rebuild trust with your writing voice and process

  • Stay connected to your story even during busy seasons

  • Finish the stage you’re in—drafting or revising

This is support for serious writers who want consistency with compassion.

What’s included

  • Weekly, twice monthly or monthly submissions

  • A progress traction report review with every submission

  • 30-minute Zoom calls: Monthly (1); Twice Monthly or Weekly (2)

  • Editorial feedback:

    • When you’ve submitted 100 pages total (pages, outline, query materials—whatever you’re working on), you’ll receive an editorial check-in on those pages (about every other month for Monthly/Twice Monthly; about monthly for Weekly).

  • Goal-setting guidance and progress tracking tailored to your project and life

You get structure without shame. Support without pressure. And momentum that actually lasts.

Accountability Is Ideal For Writers Who:

  • Are drafting or revising and need consistent follow-through

  • Work best with external structure

  • Want a partner in the process, not full editorial feedback

  • Want a lower-investment option that still moves the needle

  • Are serious about finishing their work

Not Ideal If:

  • You want deep editorial feedback (see 1:1 Coaching or Manuscript Review)

  • You don’t want to set or track goals

  • You prefer to work entirely on your own


Ready to build momentum that lasts?

Let’s create a writing rhythm—and a progress plan—that supports your creative goals. The application takes just a few minutes. If it’s a fit, I’ll reply with next steps (and recommend the best cadence). If you’d be better served by 1:1 coaching or a manuscript review, I’ll tell you that too.

What Writers Say

  • Kerry is a fantastic book coach. She's great at asking questions that get to the heart of the issue--be that a missing component of the story or the mental roadblocks preventing the story from progressing. Kerry will help you unlock your story and keep it moving. Can't recommend enough!

    —Sabrina Thatcher, sabrinathatcherauthor.com

  • My main need for a book coach was accountability. I told Kerry when we started nearly a year ago, "I need someone who can wield a whip over me." I expected to hear the big black leather crack behind me but what I got was so much more. Yes, Kerry does wave a tiny whip, but she has the humanity to tell you when you're on the right track and points out all the progress you are making. She's a great resource when inevitably, I get stuck. Accountability + untangling + encouragement. Highly recommended!
