coaching for writers who feel stuck
You don't have to figure out the writing and publishing journey alone.
Many writers don't stop because they lack talent.
They stop because they get stuck.
Stuck at the beginning.
Stuck in the middle.
Stuck after feedback.
Stuck trying to figure out publishing.
If you've reached a point where the next step feels unclear or overwhelming, sometimes what you need isn't another course or another rulebook.
Sometimes you just need someone to sit with you and help you work through it.
That's what this coaching is designed for.
Is this you?
You might be here because you're asking questions like:
-
I want to write a book, but I don't know where to start.
-
I started my manuscript but now I'm stuck and can't move forward.
-
I struggle to stay consistent with writing.
-
I received feedback and don't know what to change or how to apply it.
-
I finished my book but the publishing process feels overwhelming.
-
I want writing to be part of my life or career, but I can't figure out how to make it work with everything else.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone. These are the exact places where many writers lose momentum.
And they're exactly the places where a little guidance can make all the difference.

My Coaching Philosophy
I call this "Creating Your Write Life" caoching.
I'm not here to take control of your book or tell you exactly what to write.
Instead, I work beside you while you:
-
Think through challenges.
-
Solve problems in your process.
-
Build the confidence to keep going.
Writing is a long journey, and sometimes what makes the difference is simply having someone knowledgable in your corner.
Accessible Pricing
I believe writing support should be accessible to the people who need it, especially indie authors building something new.
Because of that, coaching sessions with me use a sliding scale model.
The standard value of a 45 minute session is:
$115 per session
But you can choose what fits your current situation.
Price Point Options:
(all prices are in USD)
-
$65 - Supported Tier
For writers who are early in their journey or working with tighter financial constraints.
-
$90 - Standard Tier
A balanced option for most writers.
-
$115 - Sustaining Tier
Supports the full value of the session and helps make lower tiers available to other writers.
-
$140+ - Patron Tier (Optional)
For writers who want to invest a little extra to help support accessibility for the community.
No explanation is required.
Choose the level that works best for you.
The goal is simple:
Make it possible for writers to get the support they need.
Ready to Move Forward?
You don't have to solve every part of the writing journey by yourself.
Sometimes the next step becomes clear simply by talking it through with someone who understands the process.
If that sounds helpful to you, I'd love to work together.

Testimonials
Here's what one of my clients has to say about their experience:
"Carrie has been an absolute gem to work with. She took me under her wing and listened to all my ramblings. She asked the hard questions as well as the simple ones that we—as authors—don’t often think matter, but in fact, they do. We went through so many brainstorming sessions, and after every one, I felt like I was on top of the world. Not only was the feedback amazing and exactly what I needed (even if I didn’t know what that was before the meeting), but Carrie is like my Writer Mom! Absolutely love her!"
— Author Z King
You don't need more hours. You need more harmony.
