Every successful author has found their own way of working and because of this we personalise our coaching for each individual. We pay close attention to authors to provide the right kind of support for them, at their own pace and in their own time, sometimes for parts of the process and often all the way through to finished manuscript, literary representation and publication. We know from experience that this flexible, detailed approach creates the optimum conditions for developing the best writing, which in turn stands the very best chance of success.

We provide individual and group coaching, giving writers a rare opportunity to be edited and advised by a leading publishing professional. Our coaches are currently Kathy herself, Janine Giovanni, Faiza Khan, Diane Spivey and Tom Drake-Lee. Kathy is also personally training new coaches.

I have a first draft of a book, an offer of representation from a leading agent, and interest from a major publisher. None of those things would have happened without Kathy’s support. I can’t recommend her highly enough.
