"As is quite common, retiring from full-time academia I had decided to turn my hand to writing a novel. A daunting task based on my own research and reading. My interest lay in fiction and I have headed down the path of family fiction. One thing I knew was that it would be very different from the extensive academic writing that I had undertaken over the years.
I came across the services of Book Coaches and as I investigated these further, I knew that this would be a great help in my new journey. It was when I met and started working with Kylie that I realised how beneficial this process would be.
Kylie's approach was thoughtful, thorough and positive. Rather than tell me what I needed to consider, she allowed me to develop my thoughts around the wide-ranging issues, and over the course of our sessions, I became more and more confident in what I was doing. But the real benefit was Kylie's expert guidance and assistance in helping me develop my own writing style. This has proven pivotal.
I am now at the stage of having mapped out my entire novel, clarified my approach, developed and continuing to develop my own writing style and moving forward in the journey. And the one other very big benefit of interacting with Kylie as my Book Coach, has been that I am thoroughly enjoying the journey. I can say without hesitation, that I am absolutely loving writing a novel. Its a level of enjoyment of a task/project that I have not felt for some time.
I cannot recommend Kylie highly enough. She is very good at what she does and I look forward to her ongoing involvement in my first novel."
