Speaker Author Coaching

(Combination one-on-one and group coaching)

Whether you’re beginning your writing journey, somewhere near the middle, almost completed with that first draft, or even already published, you may need some help and support to get your book completed, published, and promoted. This unique package offers writers at most any point in their journey help and support!

As you are beginning the writing process, you’ll enjoy these benefits:

One-on-One Sessions. You’ll have access to three one-on-one sessions with Cathy Fyock and three with Allie Pleiter (who specializes in fiction as well as nonfiction. I recommend that one of our early one-on-one sessions focuses on setting the strategy for your book.

Access to Weekly Group Coaching Sessions – PAGES. Join book coaches Cathy Fyock and Allie Pleiter for this weekly group designed to help you move forward with your writing project. The sessions are scheduled each Wednesday from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm Eastern (and recorded for those who can’t attend live) and are complete with valuable strategies for getting your writing projects completed! The fifth Wednesday of each month will be a self-led JUST WRITE session, with 90 minutes dedicated to writing.

OYM Online and access to Cathy’s Master Class Library. You’ll have access to my online course for On Your Mark, which includes six recorded modules along with handouts and resources. And, as a client, you’ll have access to my webinar library, with more than 100 programs on a variety of topics of interest to authors.

The complete Cathy and Allie Writing Library – electronic. Cathy and Allie have provided full access to their writing library, including their books How to Write When Everything Goes Wrong, The Chunky Method Handbook, Writer Crisis Hotline, and more!

One hour “Office Hours” each month (second Tuesday at 4 pm Eastern). This session provides an opportunity for dialogue about your pressing writing issues. The session is led by Cathy or Allie.

Monthly Master Class on writing, publishing, or marketing your book, and more. Every month, I offer a virtual Master Class featuring a guest, with all topics related to either getting your book written, published, or promoted.

There is no charge for Five-Day Challenges, One-day Virtual Retreats, and client discounts are offered for retreats and other special learning events.

As you are nearing the end of the writing process, you’ll enjoy these benefits:

Manuscript Review. I will read your manuscript and provide you feedback about ways to strengthen your draft to support your goals for your book. You’ll send me your draft as a Word document, and I will use Track Changes to add comments and suggestions to ensure that your book will help you achieve your specific goals (more speaking engagements, higher fee consulting engagements, and so on). We will review the feedback in a one-on-one session.

Power Launch webinar. You’ll also receive a power launch webinar hosted by me, during which you’ll give a “keynote” on your book’s main messages. We will both promote this event to our communities. This launch webinar experience will allow you to develop and practice a solid presentation so you know you’re ready to present on your book’s topic, and it begins to socialize your book’s content to people who will likely become readers, reviewers, influencers, and supporters. We’ll also have a recording that you can use on social media or on your website for your own promotional purposes.

The AuthorMind. The AuthorMind meets virtually on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 2:00 pm Eastern (recorded if you can’t attend live), and focuses on strategies to publish and promote their books.

The AuthorMind sessions will include presentations from authors who have completed their manuscripts and who are preparing for their launch, as well as “open mike” sessions for open discussions. When you present your launch plan you’ll receive feedback and ideas from all those who attend.

In addition, the entire AuthorMind content offering is upgraded to these one-, 1.5-, and two-hour programs (some of these will also be available to non-clients for a fee). These programs may include topics such as these:

• Preparing Your About the Author, Book Summary, Speaker Author One-Sheet
• Getting Testimonials and Amazon Reviews
• Creating In-Person and Virtual Launch Events
• Finding Speaking Engagements, and Moving from Free to Fee
• Selling Your Book When Speaking, in Conference Bookstores, and at Book Fairs
• Using AI to Promote Your Book
• Repurposing Content from Your Book to create Lead Magnets, Workbooks, and More
• Selling High-End Services and Expanding Your Product/Service Offerings
• Making One Sale, Selling Many Books (associations, meeting planners)
• Creating Sticky Sound Bites, Pull Quotes, and Media Questions

All these programs will be recorded so that you can access them as needed.

Your investment for one-year of access to the Speaker Author is $2,500.
