Write Your Novel Coaching

Do you want to get your novel out of your head and onto the page?

Whatever stage you’re at – idea, outline, or even a full rough draft – I’m here to help you stay focused and see your novel through to “the end”.

My “Write Your Novel” coaching is ideal if you want my full support with every chapter.

(If you only want help for a few weeks, try my kickstart coaching instead.)

How “Write Your Novel” Coaching Works

This is my gold-standard coaching package! You get lots of access to me and as much feedback and support as you need.

With my standard coaching, you’re limited to sending 2,000 words per session.

With “Write Your Novel” coaching, I want to read everything you write.

Here’s how it works:

• You send me your writing as you produce it: chapter by chapter, scene by scene, or even page by page … whatever works for you and your novel. Email me weekly, daily, in the middle of the night, whatever you like and as much as you like!
• I read everything you write, highlighting what’s working well, asking questions, and picking up on any issues as you go along … so they don’t cause bigger problems later.
• We have regular coaching calls where I give you all this feedback and talk through any struggles you’re having with the story itself or with the writing process. Usually, that means a 45 minute call every week, but we can tweak that schedule.
• You can email me at any time, for anything. Want some quick feedback on the opening to a scene? Wondering how to keep up the momentum during a particularly busy time? I’m here to help and support you.
• I’ll check in with you as often as you want. I won’t guilt-trip you, but I will be there to gently nudge you to keep up the momentum. I can email you, Facebook message you, text you … whatever you’d like to help keep you on track.

Here’s what Emma (from Cosmos at Your Doorstep) said about my support with her novel:

I had never completed a novel before. I’d written over 800,000 words of one over about a decade, starting from scratch 20 times over, but I had never crafted a satisfying plot arc and crossed the finish line.

Ali changed everything. She gave me feedback on each of my chapters as I wrote them, and she seemed truly engaged with my story and invested in my characters, always sharing her excitement to find out what happens next. She bolstered my confidence enough so that I could power through to the end, instead of doubting my writing so much that I would scrap my current draft and start from scratch. I once despaired that I would never complete that novel; thanks to her, I have.

For the first time in my life, I get to move on and enjoy the redrafting stage, polishing the story until it shines. And now, I’m not overwhelmed at the prospect of writing the next books in the series; I’m excited. I know that I can write a novel and my writing doesn’t suck. And I also know, thanks to Ali’s encouragement, that it’s okay for my first draft to be quite rough around the edges. Now I know how to accept that part of the process and finish future first drafts despite knowing they have flaws; I can wait until the end to redraft, because finishing the first draft is something that will actually happen.

When I publish my novel, Ali’s getting a prime spot in the acknowledgments—and I recommend her coaching 1000%!

How Much Does it Cost?

Currently, everything above costs $600/month (£450/month).

There’s no minimum commitment: you can stop at any time.

I only have two places left at this price (it’ll be going up to $750 (£575)/month after that) so now’s a great time to book in.

How Do the Coaching Calls Work?

You book each coaching session at a time to suit you. And if you like, we can arrange a dedicated time slot at the same time each week or fortnight, to help you build a consistent writing rhythm.

The default for Write Your Novel coaching is to have a weekly 45 minute session, but this is your novel and writing process, so I’m very happy to adjust that to suit you. For instance, if you prefer, we could have a 90 minute session every other week.

You don’t have to use all your coaching sessions but I can’t offer a discount for unused time.

Got Questions or Not Sure?

Got questions? Not sure if “Write Your Novel” coaching is for you? Just drop me an email at ali@aliventures.com and let me know a bit about you and your novel.

We can then book a free 20 minute call to have a chat and see whether I’m a good fit for helping you get your novel done.
