Work With a Professional Writing Coach
Writing a book doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Our professional writing coaches partner with you to bring clarity, structure, and momentum to your writing process. Whether you’re developing an idea or refining a draft, Palmetto’s 1-on-1 writing coaching program helps you move forward with purpose and finish your manuscript with confidence.
What Does a Writing Coach Do?
A writing coach is more than an editor or instructor; they’re your creative ally. While editors focus on polishing completed drafts and teachers often lecture from a fixed curriculum, a coach supports your process in real time. You’ll get:
Consistent guidance and accountability
Honest, constructive feedback on your ideas and pages
Help to overcome writer’s block and stay motivated
A structured, sustainable approach to finishing your book
Your coach is there to help you write with intention and to finish what you started.
Our Writing Coach Services Could Be Right for You!
The 14-week coaching program is designed for:
First-time authors unsure how to begin
Writers stuck in the middle of their draft
Self-publishers looking for clarity and expert feedback
You’re not alone if you’ve said:
I don’t know how to start.
I keep rewriting the first few pages.
I finished the draft, but I have no idea what comes next.
Wherever you are in your process, we meet you there.

FAQs About Writing Coaching
What’s the difference between a writing coach and an editor?
A coach helps you develop, write, and complete your manuscript. An editor typically comes in later to clean up and refine what you’ve already written. Think of a coach as your writing partner from day one.
Can I join the program if I only have an idea?
Absolutely. Many of our authors start with a single sentence or general concept. We’ll help you shape it into a full outline and support you through the drafting process.
Do I need to be an experienced writer?
Not at all. We tailor our coaching to your level. Whether this is your first book or your fifth, we’ll help you get it across the finish line.
