CREATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK COACHING
Helping rebel business owners write their damn books!
A 6-month private coaching experience for creative entrepreneurs, coaches, writers, and CEOs ready to finally write and publish the show-stopping book that becomes the beating heart of your business.
“Vicky has provided exquisite support. It’s been consistent, appropriate, amusing, engaging, empathetic, knowledgeable.”
“The consistency is so valuable: we meet at the same time every week, talk about the book, consider its context, drive it forward, and watch that word count tick up. And it does—it ticks and it ticks. It’s a long journey, but I couldn’t have done it without Vicky’s support.
The ongoing accountability is key. Not just the weekly call, but access via Voxxer for a quick question or quick encouragement and reassurance. They’re only little things, but actually they have a big impact.
Vicky has provided exquisite support. It’s been consistent, appropriate, amusing, engaging, empathetic, knowledgeable. She’s been there for me at the times I’ve struggled—because I have! There have been times where I’ve sent her a note saying, ‘My head’s going to explode, I can’t do this, I’m really struggling’ and she’s come straight back with something that helped, like, ‘Come on, you know you can do this, here’s a couple of ideas to get you going!’
An unexpected by-product is that I have a new friend. Vicky’s a lovely lady, she’s easy to talk to, she’s funny and engaging, and that makes the whole experience so much easier.”

“She made my book a good book—but more than that, she gave me the confidence to feel good about my book.”
“Not only did Vicky give me a brilliant bit of advice that got me unstuck and writing again, but she helped me make my book a good book. It’s also been made required reading for the Content Marketing Academy, as well as part of the syllabus for two universities in the UK. She held my hand every step of the way. She validated my ideas, and saw through my fears and concerns to give me the insights, advice and kicks up the bum I needed.
She made my book a good book—but more than that, she gave me the confidence to feel good about my book. I have that confidence now not because she’s built me some kind of false ego like some coaches do, but because she helped craft something I can be truly proud of. I have a good book—and that’s all Vicky’s fault.”

Ready to write that remarkable non-fiction book that’s hammering on the inside of your skull?
You have a great idea to share, one that lights a fire inside your clients... but now—you’ve stalled.
You know your unique skills and experience genuinely change your clients’ lives... but you can only work with a handful of people at a time.
Your Big Book Idea (if you have one—and if you don’t, we’ll fix that) is bloody brilliant and you know it could help many more people create positive change in the world... but you’re not sure where to start or how to take your unique skills and experience and translate them for a mass audience.
Your clients love you and your work... but when it comes to turning your expertise into published ideas, that damn imposter syndrome keeps forcing itself between you and the book you want to write.
You want to do this—but writing your book keeps getting shoved aside in favour of something “more urgent”, and you know what you really need is support and accountability.
While you’re serious about finally writing your book and ready to commit to getting the book done, you’re not sure how to actually DO IT... and you worry your book will be a project you start with enthusiasm then abandon.
Tl;dr:
You know how a book can help you and your business grow but you want to make sure it’s the right book (and not boring AF); you’re ready to write it—and you’re serious about getting it done now so you can reach more people, faster.
I can help you get there.
IT ALL STARTS WITH YOUR BRILLIANT IDEA, A ROCK-SOLID PLAN, SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY, AND TINY BEETLE STEPS THAT’LL GET YOU FROM BLANK PAGE TO PUBLISHED.
Once you send in your 10-minute application, I’ll be in touch for a meet ’n’ greet call. Can’t wait to talk—only 3 spots available!
“It’s wonderful working with you and here’s to a whole series of books in the next few years.”
“Vicky, I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for helping me get this book out of my head and onto Amazon. You know how much I have going on. I’ve had so many amazing messages from people who have already dug into my book and it’s only been on FREE Kindle promotion for 24 hours. I was #1 on the list for the whole day yesterday! Again, it’s wonderful working with you and here’s to a whole series of books in the next few years. Happy writing everyone.”
(BARRY RANDALL, THE LANDSCAPERS’ BUSINESS COACH, BARRYRANDALL.COM)
IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD FEEL LIKE TO:
CLEARLY SEE AND UNDERSTAND HOW YOUR BIG BOOK IDEA CAN TURN INTO A BOOK YOU’RE PROUD OF—so you can reach more people with your message, take your business to the next level, and feel like a superhero whenever you walk out onto a stage in front of people.
MAKE MORE MONEY AND CONFIDENTLY ATTRACT EXACTLY THE CLIENTS YOU WANT TO WORK WITH, EASILY—because your book shows you off as the expert you truly are, articulates exactly what you do and who you do it for, and stands behind you every step of the way, boosting your confidence in yourself.
BECOME THE GO-TO EXPERT IN YOUR INDUSTRY—because your book speaks for you, lifting you up and setting you apart so you’re more visible, more desirable, and more trustworthy.
CREATE A BOOK THAT WILL BECOME THE BEATING HEART OF YOUR BUSINESS—so you always have absolute clarity on what you do, who for, and why.
HOLD YOUR PUBLISHED BOOK IN YOUR HAND—and see it for sale on Amazon and beyond.
READ BEAUTIFUL MESSAGES FROM YOUR READERS—as they buy, read, and take action on your ideas.
BUT BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, LET ME BE CLEAR:
CREATIVE BOOK COACHING WILL:
Validate and refine your Big Book Idea, giving you the clarity you need to write. We’ll hold up your idea and look at it from every angle, and make sure you’re not just writing any book, you’re writing the RIGHT BOOK, which presents your idea in phenomenal fashion.
Bring your Big Book Idea to life. Because you know you have something special here that genuinely changes your clients’ lives, but you can’t quite see how to translate it into a book for a mass audience.
Pinpoint your ideal reader so you have absolute clarity about what you’re writing, for whom, and why—because there are people out there who need your story. Who will be grateful that you’ve written it.
Help you create a roadmap for your book so every time you sit down, you know exactly what you’re doing and how you’re doing it, which means your book will get done.
Make you an author and give you the tools to do it all over again if you want to. This is author and mindset training rolled into one, so when you’ve published (and you WILL publish) you’ll feel ready for the next book.
Help you grow your business. I know how to create books that will be useful tools for your business, not just a vanity project to look good on your bookshelves and website.
Feel like having a personal writing mentor. Because it is. I’ll be by your side every step of the way, guiding, encouraging, and talking you down off the ledges. You’ll get my eyes and edits on everything you write, helping with structure and tone, and building your confidence.
CREATIVE BOOK COACHING WILL NOT:
Feel like a course or workshop. There is a core approach to my programme but I focus on YOU and your unique story, voice, and Big Idea. There’s no blueprint or template or marketing-tick-box-book—the experience is tailored to you and your goals.
Require you to give up all day every day to writing—BUT how long your book takes will depend on how much time can devote to it. Don’t worry, we’ll cover all that in our initial calls.
Walk you through your book launch and subsequent marketing. I can (and do) offer insights, ideas, and recommendations, but this isn’t where our Creative Coaching time and energy is best spent.
Involve writing according to an author blueprint or template. There are conventions we must follow and best practices, to be sure, but this isn’t about creating a cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all book that could be anybody’s.
Guarantee you a traditional publishing deal—however, I can and will talk to you about your publishing options and guide you in the right direction.
Provide you with a fully designed and typeset book—but I can and will put you in touch with book design and print professionals and help you with that process.
Leave you with a half-finished book in a drawer. This is a huge problem for would-be authors: follow the process and you’ll have your working draft.
Shame you. Yes, I am here to hold you accountable and make sure you get your book done—but I am always encouraging and supportive. I will never tell you off, make you feel like you’re not enough, or let you leave a call feeling anything but excited to move forwards.
“Vicky, I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for helping me get this book out of my head and onto Amazon.”

THE CREATIVE NON-FICTION BOOK COACHING PROCESS: HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL GET
(AKA YOUR PATH TO PUBLISHED AUTHOR)
My Creative Book Coaching is tailored to your unique story, circumstances, and personality. The initial sessions vary depending on what stage you’re at, but here’s a quick look at what you’ll experience:
The Big Idea: This is where we’ll discuss your Big Book Idea and the broad scope of your goals for your book in the context of your business and your life:
- Why you’re writing your book.
- Whom you’re writing for and what they’re going to get from it.
- What you want from your book.
- The challenges you’re facing (and how to overcome them).
- Your game plan for the coming weeks, so you keep moving.
Your Personalised Plan: Once we’ve nailed down your Big Book Idea and your goals, we’ll develop your writing plan:
- Your book roadmap, so you know exactly what you’re writing in each session.
- Continual evaluation so your book can evolve over time as you gain clarity.
- Evaluation of your strengths so you never feel overwhelmed.
- Periodic high-level reviews to ensure the work is going in the right direction.
Writer’s Mindset: In each session, we work on writing mindset, breaking through the creative blocks that hold too many authors back from writing and publishing:
- Regular writing goals so you make steady progress.
- Continual evaluation and support to help you work through confidence bumps.
- Weekly reviews of your writing to keep you motivated, writing, and enthusiastic.
- Regular Q&A sessions with Voxer support between calls to keep you moving.
- Writing tools and skills to help you improve and beat the blank page.
Editing & Polishing: We aim to write your Shitty First Draft within 3 months (this varies widely for each client):
- Detailed review to look the structure, ideas, and flow.
- Guidance and advice on how to restructure (if necessary).
- Guidance on refining the language, storytelling, and tone.
- Advice on how to work with beta readers so we can be sure your book does its job.
Preparing to Publish: You may still be working on your draft by the end of our six months together, getting it ready to go to a copyeditor—and that’s great! But if your book is ready to go to a copyeditor, we’ll focus on preparing you to publish:
- How to work with designers and typesetters.
- Getting your book ready to launch, and working with marketing professionals.
- Preparing your website and Amazon (and other platforms) for publishing.
- Advice on publicity for authors to help you create a little buzz.
- 2 weeks’ Voxxer and email support after the coaching programme has ended.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO FINALLY WRITE YOUR BOOK?
LET ME TELL YOU A STORY…
I’m Vicky—you may have seen my silly Instagram videos… and read my books.
I’m a writer, author, book coach, and co-host of The 1,000 Authors Show and since 2012 I’ve been dancing up the creative entrepreneurial ladder using my superpower combo of writing skills, dazzling ideas, and willingness to fall flat on my face in front of strangers.
Behind the scenes, I was writing copy for clients and building a writing business of my own, and things were going well on the surface.
But something wasn’t quite right.
Yes, I was making money—but I wasn’t writing or creating for myself—and I wasn’t helping my clients in a way that made my heart sing. That only changed when I realised that what I truly love is books, and the power they have to change a life.
Once I had my own books out there working for me, everything changed. Suddenly, clients were seeking me out for my ghostwriting and book coaching services. I started writing articles that got picked up and shared, speaking on stages all over the world, getting interviewed on dozens of podcasts (no pitch necessary), and shared the ideas and skills and expertise I genuinely care about.
This journey took me years of trial and error, a brilliant circle of mentors, friends, and teachers, and tens of thousands of pounds to complete.
Now, I’m here to help you skip that painful process—and give you the step-by-step guidance and support you need as you step out of “maybe I’ll write a book” mode and into “badass rebel author mode”—as we coax your story out of your head and into your incredible book.
AND IF YOU’RE IN, IT WOULD BE MY HONOUR AND PRIVILEGE TO WELCOME YOU.
I have just one more question, my fine feathered friend.
ARE YOU READY TO…
Stand up and declare to the world that you’re writing your book and start putting your story out there in the world?
Feel the fear, silence your inner dickhead, and do what you need to do, and experience the delight and confidence that comes from writing down your unique story and feeling great about it?
Finally understand that YOUR STORY MATTERS. That there are people in the world who will be profoundly grateful that you’ve written it down and captured it in a book. And that you can take your story and turn it into keynote speeches, courses, products, programmes, and—of course—bestselling books.
THEN LET’S START.
Send in your (10 minute) application below.
Your book awaits.
