Book Coaching

At Talgrin Publishing, we offer specialized coaching packages designed to support authors at every stage of your writing journey. Whether you're in the planning phase, drafting your manuscript, or refining your revisions, our expert coaches are here to guide you through each step, ensuring your book reaches its full potential.

Choose from our three distinct coaching packages: the Manuscript Structure Coaching Package for planning, the Manuscript Draft Coaching Package for drafting, and the Ongoing Revision Coaching Package for polishing your work. Each package is tailored to meet your specific needs, providing you with the accountability and expertise necessary to succeed.

One-on-one Manuscript Structure Coaching guides you, the author, through the process of designing the structure and flow of a manuscript. This includes the structure and flow of the overall manuscript as well as the structure and flow of each chapter.

Includes the following during a three-month time frame:

An initial 30-minute video call to discuss your writing goals, and your initial manuscript ideas
Bi-weekly assignment deadlines (6 total)
Six 60-minute video coaching calls after deadlines
Completion of detailed book outline
Email support between deadlines for questions or brainstorming

By the end of the planning stage, you will have completed a detailed outline for your manuscript, and you’ll be ready to start the drafting phase.

One-on-one Manuscript Draft Coaching provides accountability and feedback during the draft-writing stage. Deadlines will keep you moving toward the goal of completing your manuscript on time. The page reviews provide feedback and guidance for self-edits.

Includes the following during a six-month time frame:

Before our first call, you’ll submit a Q&A form to help me assess your manuscript structure, your writing schedule, and the goals for your manuscript
Bi-weekly writing assignment deadlines (12 total)
Bi-weekly page review and developmental edit; Up to fifty pages reviewed per deadline
Twelve 60-minute (2 per month) one-on-one coaching calls

A detailed step-by-step plan for how to tackle these issues
