One to one coaching

Get that book out of your head and onto the page

We’re Chris and Bec, coaches and authors of Written: How to Keep Writing and Build a Habit that Lasts. We help people who want to write, find a way to keep going.

Does this sound familiar?

You’ve got an idea for a book. Maybe it’s been sitting there for years.

You know what you want to say but you haven’t found a way to get it written.

If that’s you, our one to one coaching might help.

What coaching does

Most people don't struggle to write because they lack ideas.

They struggle because life is busy and writing is easy to keep pushing down the list.

That's where we come in. We act as your accountability partner - giving you structure, tactics to try, and fresh approaches when the old ones stop working.

Together, we help you prioritise writing despite a full life, and build a habit that actually fits how you work.
