Non-fiction book coaching
Are you are non-fiction writer looking for support with a book proposal?
Book coaching is a unique blend of consultancy, editorial feedback and coaching that provides accountability, motivation and knowledge to help you, the writer, get your big ideas into the best shape possible. And most importantly, turn those great ideas into book form.
Penny has natural instincts when it comes to what a publisher is looking for. She knows how to tell a story, how to pull and weave key threads in a narrative to make it stand out
Abigail Bergstrom, Literary Agent
I work with non-fiction and memoir writers developing book proposals. There are a number of ways I can support you depending on where you are on your journey.
A number of times throughout the year I run low cost workshops that detail everything that goes in to a non-fiction book proposal.

The Book Proposal Group Program
From idea to full proposal in 8 weeks. This popular, small group program takes you through every step of writing a book proposal including structure, under standing the market and audience, how to submit to agents and more. We meet weekly for maximum accountability and support - a writers group, a step by step process and individual written feedback, all rolled in to one.

About me……
After securing my own non-fiction book deal for Tender with a proposal written using some of the tools Author Accelerator recommend, I knew that I could trust their methods. I became a certified non-fiction book coach through Author Accelerator and now help other writers bring their big ideas together in a killer book proposal, that will help them stand out from the crowd.
I host the podcast Not To Busy To Write interviewing authors and publishing industry professionals, focusing on the challenges of writing amongst life’s many other demands. I have a Masters in Creative and Life Writing from Goldsmiths. My work have been published in Harper’s Bazaar, Red Magazine, Telegraph, You Magazine and more.
