Everything You Need to Improve Your Writing
One-on-one Writing Coaching help writers to finish projects, hone craft and voice, guide the planning and writing of book-length manuscripts, consider and decide on a publishing path, strategically plan and implement book marketing, and more!
Lynne Golodner offers three-month and six-month packages that include one-on-one calls, critiques of writing submissions, and planning discussions to guide the writing and publishing process. There are also packages of calls to be used in a defined period of time.
“I struggled with outlining and organization on my own, and it was difficult to see a path forward… Now I feel confident about writing the book and getting it done.”
Writing Coaching Packages
Book Planning Coaching
A great way to succeed with a book project is to plot it out ahead of time – or even when you’re partway through and stuck. Sometimes, writers even dive into a book plan after a draft is done, to guide the revision. Historically a “pantser,” Lynne learned to “plot” out her books to make writing easier and require fewer revisions. Lynne works with writers on book planning from idea formation to detailed outline-building using some helpful resources to make the process easy, seamless, and exciting. We’ll work together for four weeks, with weekly 45-minute calls, and by the end, you’ll have a plan to move forward with your book. There is an option to continue to work together as the book is being written, too, with a discounted package after initial book coaching.
By the end of the Initial Book Planning Package, you’ll have a plan to move forward with your book. If you’d like to continue with book coaching after the outline is complete, you can transition to the Monthly Package at a special rate.

Developmental Editing
For developmental editing on a completed manuscript, Lynne charges a per-word rate, providing in-line edits and big-picture feedback in a separate document. In 4-6 weeks, Lynne will assess story flow, theme, craft, character development, plot and more, and prepare a feedback document to send to the writer. The package includes one phone call, so the writer can ask questions once they’ve gone through the notes.

Book Marketing Coaching
Whether you’re awaiting the publication of your first book or three-books-deep in an author career, and no matter how you publish, a successful author is strategic about how they market their book and embraces the idea that they must spearhead the effort to get their book out into the world. In this package, we’ll build a strategic 12-month marketing plan and then coach you through implementation one project at a time. We’ll also explore your Author Brand and help you articulate a keen focus that helps readers understand who you are and what you write! Strategic Marketing Planning happens over 8 weeks, with implementation ongoing for as long as you want it.
