Would you love to finish your novel?

I know what it's like to love your story but feel completely lost inside it.

To have characters you care about, scenes you’re proud of, and a world you can almost breathe in. Yet no matter how hard you try, the story in your head refuses to make sense on the page.

You’ve spent hours writing, rewriting, second-guessing, and Googling “how to fix my novel” at 2am.

You’ve got notebooks, voice memos, colour-coded files… and somehow it still feels like none of it is enough to pull the story together.

And maybe you’re starting to worry that:

you’re not “skilled enough” to finish
your draft is too tangled to fix
your idea is good, but you might not be
everyone else seems to know what they’re doing except you
if you don’t figure it out soon, you’ll lose the spark that made you start this book in the first place

You’re not behind.
Your story isn’t broken.
And you’re not failing.

You’ve arrived at the next stage of the novel writing process, once the wild ride of exploring your initial ideas has slowed down. Your story has grown bigger, wilder, and more alive than the simple outline you began with, and now you’re standing in a forest of your own making, unsure where to head next.

My name’s Esther. I’m a certified book coach and developmental editor specialising in fantasy, science fiction, and historical fiction. I help writers who’ve stepped into the wilderness of their own story untangle what’s there and find a way forward that finally makes sense.

Working with Esther felt like having a creative partner who truly gets the struggles of being a writer (probably because she is one!). She broke down the overwhelming parts of revising into manageable steps and never made me feel judged for where I was in the process. Her feedback wasn’t just helpful—it was empowering, making me feel seen and understood as a writer. If you’re stuck or just need someone who ‘gets it,’ Esther is exactly who you want in your corner.
