These days I'm serving my younger (writer) self, who yearned for someone to walk alongside her from beginning to end.
Here's the thing...writing a full-length novel manuscript is hard. I know
this because I have four published novels (and more hiding in drawers!).
What I wished I had during this time was someone to be my sounding board, developmental editor, expert in my genre, co-strategist and right-hand cheerleader. So, when I discovered book coaching was an actual thing, I jumped at the chance.
These days, I happily tell people I'm serving my younger self by being the writing guide and author mentor I always wanted.
