What Is Story Coaching?
DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING
Story Coaching
One aspect of what we offer in our
2-in-1 Coaching & Consulting service
Do you have a great idea for a story or book but are struggling to bring it all together?
Do you tend to start many written projects but can’t seem to finish any of them?
Then story coaching might be what you’re looking for.
Developmental editing (better referred to as story coaching) exists to help you craft strong narratives and gain insight into how to go about piecing together all the elements that will make up your story—before you even finish your first draft, and in some cases, before you even begin writing.
Story coaches coach you through developing a strong plot, relatable characters, and a great story arc.
You can think of it as a preventative measure or jumping off point to prepare you for writing your first draft. If you have a great idea but are struggling to bring it together and need some outside input, then a developmental editor is the right choice for you.
Why Hire A Coach?
What’s Included
| We coach you through the process of creating an outline for your story that includes a strong narrative and story arc |
| We show you how to create the ideal story form and help you overcome foundational weaknesses |
| We help you organize and build on your story’s main plot, including the conflict and resolution, as well as any subplots (if applicable) |
| We brainstorm with you your goals and the message you would like to convey through your book, if any |
| We help you develop relatable and dynamic characters; we also identify points of growth and change to complete their character arcs (for example, internal vs. external conflict, goals, growth, personality, motivation, consistency of character, and more) |
| We help you take care of the details before you begin, so you have those in mind (in your subconscious) as you write your story |
| We make sure the details match your market, such as genre and subgenre, ideal word count, point of view, dialogue, setting, organization, readability, appropriate story structure (which includes pacing, tone, voice, theme, balance, resolution, and how the story ends), whether a serialized narrative or a series of books is appropriate, and more |
| We help you identify plot holes, inconsistencies, or other confusing aspects of your story |
| We help you build your scenes and may suggest cuts to scenes that don’t serve a purpose for your plot; conversely, we may suggest adding to scenes if they require further narrative or descriptive development |
| We ask targeted questions to help you gain insight into your story and how you approach the creative process |
| We analyze and critique your ideas and focus on how all the elements of your story work together |
| We help you strategize your writing plan and set you up for publishing success |

Your One-Stop Resource To Writing & Publishing Success
There are quite a few things that go into writing and publishing your books, but it doesn’t have to be a daunting process when you take it one step at a time. We are here to make it easier and guide you along your path.
As writers writers and authors, we all have unique goals and specific needs. We cater to those and more by offering a unique blend of both coaching and consulting in a 2-in-1 service.
Writing Coaching
Get your story out of your head and onto the page
Need help forming a cohesive narrative out of all the ideas you have swimming around in there? A writing coach might be what you are looking for.
Publishing Consulting
Get all your publishing questions answered
This service is for you if you want to transform your manuscript into a fully published book but are unsure how to go about it.
This means that we provide both the practical tools and resources you need to write and publish your work (such as software and product recommendations, publishing rules and guidelines, marketing strategies that work, and more) and also the guidance, mindset shift, and motivation along the way to reach your goals.
What are the key points of support that help you succeed at your goals?
Attitude
Commitment
Resources
These aren’t specific to just writing and publishing; they encompass what you need to succeed at any of your goals, desires, and dreams. The benefits of coaching with a CTA Certified Coach + Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach is that not only do you gain the tools to succeed in your writing and business, but these can be applied to every aspect of your life – both personal and professional.
Looking to write and publish with success?
Attitude
Your attitude can shape the results you obtain. It can either propel you forward or set you back. Our favorite archetypal heroes have courage, drive, passion, persistence, focus, and heart. How do they do it, and why do we admire them so much?
1. They feel fear yet do what they need to do
2. They are internally motivated – by their own determination and personal values
3. They make mistakes but keep on going
4. They meet adversaries of all kinds but never give up
5. Nothing stops them from moving toward their destination
You too can adopt the mindset of your favorite heroes in your own pursuits. With the right attitude, any endeavor will move from feeling discouraging, daunting, and possibly self-defeating, to inspiring, uplifting, and supportive. You have what it takes to do the work to make your dreams a reality. We are here to help remind you of that and put you in the right mindset. It’s all about the journey, and you are the hero in yours.
Are you ready to step up to the challenge?
Commitment
The reality is that nothing comes overnight. The amount of work, focus, and drive we put into our pursuits pays off in the end, even if it takes a while to get there. This means that even the most well-developed plans can crumble if they don’t have strong commitment behind them. You’ve probably heard the saying:
“It’s a marathon, not a sprint.”
This is true whether you are building a business, writing a book, or even just journeying through life. You can’t (and don’t) expect to live your entire life all at once and be done with it. It’s the same for all your pursuits. Anything that is worthwhile will take a while. Commitment is important in order to maintain momentum throughout the entire process.
Plans are only plans until you put them in motion. It’s one thing to have a well-defined goal. It’s another thing to commit to it, even when the going gets tough (which it will at times). The most amazing things often come when we push through despite wanting to quit.
Vision is important, but commitment is crucial.
Resources
There is a lot of information out there about writing and publishing. We help make it easy by having it here all in one place for you.
We provide you with all the resources you need to form your ideas into a cohesive narrative complete with a full plot and character arc. Then we walk you through every step of the process to get your story out into the world. This includes answering all your publishing questions and guiding you through every step – from writing to selling.
Whether you have already written your first draft and are preparing to publish but don’t know where to start, or the only place your story lives right now is in your head, we help with all of that by meeting you where you are currently at.
Our #1 priority is to help you reach your writing and publishing goals, whatever they may be.

Let Us Be Your Accountability Partner
You have what it takes right now, in this very moment, to move into being who you want to be and doing what you want to do. You always have this choice. You determine your feelings, your attitude, and where you focus your attention and energy. Whatever you focus on grows. This is the philosophy of coaching, and why it’s so powerful.
Sometimes we forget this. Sometimes we need that push to be reminded that we can do what we set out to do, we can achieve our goals and accomplish our dreams. We cannot control others or every circumstance, but we can control our own feelings, decisions, and actions.
To know this – to truly know and live this – is the key to success in any pursuit. This is what we are here to help you with. You overcome self-defeating and self-sabotaging behaviors from the inside out, and what better way is there to do this than through coaching?

What is the difference between coaching and consulting?
We could write paragraphs about the differences between them! But in short, coaching is a powerful conversation that builds on the client’s strengths. Coaches are guides and cheerleaders who enable their clients to solve problems or change things for the better. In terms of writing, you have all the ideas and your story inside your mind just waiting to be let out. As coaches, we help draw it out.
Consultants are experts in their field and provide direct solutions to the problem at hand. In this case, it means providing you direct solutions to publishing success.
When the two services are combined, you get the best of both worlds, which is what you get here with our unique 2-in-1 approach.
What if I need more time? I don’t think I can write a book within 1-3 months.
If you need more time, no problem! Just add an addition month or 3 months as you go along.
Let’s say for example you have a plan of taking 3 months to write the first draft and another 3 months to edit, design, and publish it; that would be 6 months total. In this case, you can just purchase our 3-month bundle twice and you will have 6 months with us to guide you along the process!
What if I only want to do book coaching to write my first draft and do the full service self-publishing to publish it? In that case I would not
need the consulting part of the 2-in-1 service. Can I only do coaching and still get my money’s worth?
need the consulting part of the 2-in-1 service. Can I only do coaching and still get my money’s worth?
Yes, absolutely! Our services are designed to be individually tailored to your needs. We can devote all your sessions to coaching and you can choose either our 1-month or 3-month coaching bundle depending on how fast you would like to push out that first manuscript draft.
Do you also offer story coaching and/or developmental editing?
Yes! Book coaching includes story coaching and developmental editing as well! We coach you through developing a strong plot, relatable characters, and a great story arc. The benefits of story coaching are concrete and measurable to match your goals for your project.
