A writing coach is more than an editor or instructor; they’re your creative ally. While editors focus on polishing completed drafts and teachers often lecture from a fixed curriculum, a coach supports your process in real time. You’ll get:

Mac Misseldine★★★★★I highly recommend Palmetto’s author coaching program. Alexandra gave me the education and confidence I needed to write my novel, then provided invaluable feedback and support with every chapter I wrote.
Michael O’Brien★★★★★I discovered this program through Palmetto Book Publisher after finishing another book. Alexandra was encouraging from the beginning and any doubts I had were cast aside. She is professional, personable, interested in what you are writing and committed to producing results.
A coach helps you develop, write, and complete your manuscript. An editor typically comes in later to clean up and refine what you’ve already written. Think of a coach as your writing partner from day one.
Absolutely. Many of our authors start with a single sentence or general concept. We’ll help you shape it into a full outline and support you through the drafting process.
Not at all. We tailor our coaching to your level. Whether this is your first book or your fifth, we’ll help you get it across the finish line.
The difference between a manuscript and a finished book is consistent, focused action and a writing coach who knows how to get you there. Our writing coaches have helped dozens of authors turn vague ideas into published books. Yours could be next.
