Book Coaching
If you’ve been feeling called to write a book, now is the time to step up and do it. I strongly believe that as more women find the courage to use their voice and get their message out to the world, we will create the circumstances for a more empowered, healthy, and peaceful life for ALL.
The world is waiting for you.
I will support you in writing your book through my years of experience as a writer and editor, as well as give you soulful support in your personal process from my years of experience as a healer and teacher.
Please find a synopsis of my book coaching program below. (Scroll down the page for complete details.)
Phase 1 – Jumpstart Your Book (1 month)
If you are ready to move beyond dreaming about writing your book, and are ready to actually get started, this Jumpstart program will provide you with the support you need. Through this process, you’ll gain an understanding of how to turn your message into a book; learn about the key elements of writing your book; gain clarity about the format and organization of your book; receive emotional support to help you move through any obstacles or doubts that are in your way; receive guidance and instruction to write your book efficiently and with the most value for your readers; and gain confidence in yourself, your voice and your value in the world.
Phase 2 – Write Your First Draft (3 months)
This is the next step after Jumpstart Your Book. This 3-month coaching program will provide you with the support you need to write your first draft. Throughout the process you will receive coaching sessions that will provide you with writing assignments and strategies to guide you in your writing, create more value for your readers and help you stay on track; soulful support of your personal process to help you move through any emotional blocks that come up as you write your book; motivation, encouragement and accountability to help you achieve your goals. By the end of the program, you will have completed the first draft of your manuscript.
Phase 3 – Manuscript Evaluation and Critique (2 weeks)
Once your book’s first draft is complete, you are ready for a Manuscript Evaluation and Critique. The purpose of this review is to provide you with feedback to improve the quality of your manuscript. During this two-week process, I will provide you with an evaluation of your manuscript, honest feedback, and clear instruction to take your manuscript to the next level.
Phase 4 – Referral to an Editor
After you have revised your manuscript using the feedback and instruction you received from the Manuscript Evaluation and Critique, you are ready to start working with an editor. At this point in the process, I will refer you to an editor who I think would be a good match for your project. The editing process has several phases (content editing, copyediting, proofreading). You will work with your editor to determine the details of your process together (workflow, timeframe, rate, etc.).
Phase 5 – Progress Report/Completion of Your Book
Four weeks from the time I refer you an editor, I will contact you to schedule a 30-minute phone call to get a progress report on your editorial process and support you in any way I can to ensure the completion and publication of your book.
You are on your way!

“Tabby, I am absolutely thrilled to have the pleasure of working with you. The process of jumpstarting my book has been a liberating experience. You are a highly-skilled coach and intuitive, very sensitive to your clients needs. I have not only tapped into my creative juices that I didn’t know existed until now, I am a confident aspiring author of a soon-to-be published book. How wonderful is that? And all thanks to you, Tabby!”
- Giselle Shapiro, founder of LiteraryLaunch.com
“I highly recommend working with Tabby. I have felt so motivated and empowered since I started working with her! In our first session, she validated for me that I’ve got a good idea and that all the knowledge that I have now is enough. She also helped me move through some areas where I was feeling challenged, and provided me with specific instructions and concrete suggestions to get me going on my book. Her recommendations made it so that I was actually able to get started writing the day of our session … and I have written for 70 days in a row! Tabby is very personable, encouraging, warm, friendly, open and accessible. I am feeling so enthusiastic about my project, and very proud of myself for getting started. Thank you Tabby!”
