Does this sound like you?

You’ve been trying to finish your novel for years. You keep adding complexity to your world and story – another character, a new sub-plot. You’ve gone from a standalone novel to a duology; a trilogy to a series. Your story notes are growing into a novel in their own right, but the beautiful story you first envisioned has fizzled out.

You’re so buried under all the work you’ve done that you can’t figure out a way to get the book finished.

My book coaching packages are designed for writers just like you— passionate about their stories but overwhelmed by the process of completing a first draft and revising it into a polished book. Together we’ll untangle the threads that have you stuck, break your project into manageable steps, and re-energize your creative flow, so that you can get back to the joy of writing.

“So here is why I write what I do: We all have futures. We all have pasts. We all have stories. And we all, every single one of us, no matter who we are and no matter what’s been taken from us or what poison we’ve internalized or how hard we’ve had to work to expel it—we all get to dream.”

About Me

Hey there, my name’s Esther and I’m based in the South East of England.

I’ve always been an avid reader and have written my own stories since I was big enough to hold a pencil. Growing up, I was that child who carried a book everywhere, losing myself in worlds that felt more real than my own.

But turning my ideas into finished stories wasn’t easy. I’d start enthusiastically, only for the story to peter out leaving me unsure how to move forward. I tried both “pantsing” and detailed plotting, yet I kept getting stuck.

What changed? Writing is a craft and it takes practice and work. We gain an innate sense of how stories are told as we read and listen, but to create stories that draw readers in, we also need to master the skills and tools that shape them. It’s not just as easy as waiting for inspiration to strike. By taking my writing seriously, practicing the craft of writing, and figuring out myself as a creative, I began to write stories that I really loved. Coupled with the guidance of a mentor who provided structure and accountability, I’m finally finishing fiction pieces that I’m proud to share with others.

Now I’m passionate about helping other first-time writers avoid the same struggles. As a book coach, I offer empathy, experience, and practical support to help you finish your books and bring your visions to life. My goal is to support you to create stories that captivate, inspire, and make an impact—just like the books that inspired and shaped me.

When I not coaching and writing, I spend my days in the hills helping young people navigate the wilderness, set up tents without accidentally summoning portals, and stay on high alert for grizzly bears (an impressive feat, considering England’s complete lack of grizzlies).
