So, you want to write a book? Do you know where to start or how to stay the course, and if you complete your manuscript, what do you do with it when it's finished?

These are questions I am asked frequently when people find out I am a writer. They say there have always wanted to write a book but don't know how to go about it.

They tell me their story, their BIG idea for a book. We arrange to meet and then. . .

A lot of people say they want to attend a workshop or an on-line course, but when the time comes, something else always comes up.  

Writers are also notoriously poor! They can't afford to sign up for one-to-one coaching or day long workshops, but they still need help. Does this resonate with you?

I will talk you through the essentials of getting from the blank page to completing a manuscript and submitting it to a traditional publisher, so you can see your name on the front cover.
