AUTHOR COACHING

Hello! My name is Emilia and I want to support you in creating the writing life and career of your dreams!

WHO AM I?

FULL TIME ROMANCE AUTHOR + THERAPIST + FORMER PHOTOGRAPHER + DISABLED QUEER ARTIST + COACH

HOURLY COACHING

Book an hour-long coaching session
to focus on a specific need/goal!

COACHING INTENSIVE

Being an author can be isolating. If you want someone in your corner, helping you reach bigger goals, book a 3 or 6 month coaching intensive!

MARKETING INTENSIVE

Marketing is a skill that can come with a steep learning curve. This is a 2-day program for romance authors who want to master the principles of social media marketing that convert to sales.

What’s the focus of coaching?

Before your coaching session, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire to understand your goals, but here are some things we can focus on.

I want to self-publish. Where do I start??

We can dive into the nitty-gritty technical side of self-publishing. How to set up your KDP account, how ISBNs work, cover design, formatting, wide vs. Kindle Unlimited, hosting your own shop, working with sensitivity readers, how to manage ARC teams and Street teams, and so much more!

I need help with the writing process. How do I know what works best for me?

Whether you’re published or not, writing a process is hard. We can discuss how to create a writing life that suits you, whether you’re on book one or seventeen. We’ll focus on identifying your writing and editing strengths to create a plan that gets you excited instead of feeling discouraged.

I love writing but WTF is marketing?

Marketing is a huge part of publishing (indie and trad these days), and can be really overwhelming! We can use our coaching time to create a solid Tiktok or Instagram strategy. How do you get people to know your book exists? How do you get readers excited to read? How can you create a marketing strategy that’s not a huge burden on you?

I’ve published books and now I want to uplevel my business!

You’ve done it! Become a published writer and started this whole author business. How do you bring it to the next level of selling more and earning more? I can’t guarantee that any coaching with me will turn you into a six or seven-figure author, but I do know that when we don’t have other people to strategize with, it’s easy to feel stuck or stagnant. Let’s be creative together and find ways to level up!

I’m a published author, but I’m struggling with all the emotional overwhelm of authoring. Help!

Publishing a book feels like walking out into Times Square naked. Oh wait, is that just me?

No matter what, publishing a book is vulnerable and can bring up really strong feelings. We’ll work together to support you emotionally—all the ups and downs of this business—and create a plan for you to nurture your own emotional well-being as a person, not just an author.

I want help with burnout prevention

Writing as a career means having to be creative on demand, and that is hard! We’ll focus on creating a life that supports you as a whole person and helps your creativity flourish! This also includes setting healthy boundaries to protect you and this work you care so much about.

I need help with organizing my business finances

Figuring out business finances can be a learning curve! I am not a CPA or accountant, but I do have over a decade of experience running multiple businesses. We can work to get your cash flow and finances organized so you understand your numbers and be prepared for taxes!

Writing While Disabled

As a chronically ill and disabled author, I know how much our minds and bodies can affect our writing practice and author careers. We can use your coaching time to talk through your specific writing challenges. I can’t promise any magical solutions, but I certainly can promise compassion, empathy, and lots of brainstorming to help make the writing life you want a reality for you.

ABOUT EMILIA

I’m at this exciting point in my life where I feel like I’ve lived so many lives already and that I’m just getting started. I spent a decade as a photographer, building a luxury wedding photography business. During my time as a photographer, I also offered mentoring and coaching, which was my first experience of getting to see other business owners succeed as a result of my work with them.

During my years as a photographer, I also pursued a Master’s in Social Work. I spent 8 years as a therapist, with a focus on trauma therapy. During my years as a therapist, I worked at a non-profit and built their Behavioral Health Program from the ground up. I know how overwhelming it can be to build something new, and all the trial and error that goes into it. I developed and delivered many trainings for mental health and business professionals, and love operating from a strengths-based perspective. You are the expert on your own creative process, and it’s my job to figure out how to best support your thriving!

Now, I’m a full-time author. I’ve loved learning this third career and applying all the skills I’ve gained throughout the years to my new business venture. I love writing and publishing, but miss the meaningful connections I made in my mental health and photography work. This is what’s brought me to coaching! Coaching and training others gives my life tremendous meaning and seeing others thrive feels like magic.
