• Do you want to play bigger in your life or business?
•Do you have big ideas you need to share with the world?
• Are you finally ready to speak the truth?
• Or do you simply want to discover your true self?
A book is a bucket-list goal that’s been nagging at you for months, maybe years. You started writing. But then doubts crept in, and you stopped. You started again. And stopped again. It’s in your desk drawer. You haven’t shown it to anybody
You know how to begin, but then the questions arise. Is your book the story of your life? Or is about ideas, too? Should you include research and stories about other people? How should you structure it? Who are your readers, your audience? And how long will this process take anyway? Can you really pull off finishing a book?
If this sounds like you, breathe in, breathe out. Yes, writing a book—especially one about your life or your big ideas—can be intimidating. But it will also be one of the most rewarding and life-changing things you do.
I promise.
If you’re ready to stop playing small and start writing, let’s talk. I’d love to be your brainstorming partner, cheerleader, guide, and mentor.
How Coaching Works
I’ve been editing and coaching writers for more than two decades. I’m an author as well as a book writing coach.
I make a solemn commitment to my clients that I’ll be there for them. In return, I ask that you commit to work with me for a minimum of six months. Our mutual commitments all but ensures you will make significant progress during this time. Many clients finish their books.
Exactly how we work together depends on where you are in your writing journey. Here are the three options:
1. Daylong Intensives
Get clear and build momentum. We hunker down for a full day, and we don’t stop till you’re sure of the focus, the audience, the structure. You will know how to make people care about your writing and your ideas. You will have a complete, comprehensive “bookmap” that will serve you well. You’ll have a table of contents, a solid understanding of areas you will need to research, a strategy for getting the work done. If this option sounds useful to you, send me an email at brad@bradwetzler.com describing your project and let’s schedule a time to talk.
2. Ongoing Coaching
Feedback and Accountability. This option is perfect if you know you need ongoing support or you simply won’t get the work done. We periodically, usually once or twice per month. We brainstorm. We talk big ideas and crucial themes. I hold your hand and hold you accountable. I give you feedback on your writing. I teach you about the craft.
If this option feels best for you, send me an email at brad@bradwetzler.com describing your book and writing background and let’s schedule a time to talk. I offer six-month coaching packages of various levels depending on how often you’d like to meet.
3. Manuscript Review.
Expert critique and a comprehensive roadmap for going forward. This option is best if you’ve already written your book or if you’ve written most of it. If you’d like me to review your manuscript (of any length–it can be an essay or a book), send me an email at brad@bradwetzler.com describing the work and the total word count and I’ll be happy to provide an estimate.
4. Customized Coaching Packages for Bloggers, Speakers, Journalists, and Content Creators.
