Actually Write the Novel.

A 1:1 coaching program to help you plan, start and actually finish writing that novel you’ve been dreaming about.

Most writers struggle going from ideation to completion.

WHEN YOU LACK DIRECTION AND YOU CAN’T FIND THE TIME…

You continue to write the first chapter over and over again, feeling like you’re making no progress and quitting a million times over.

Your half-written manuscript sits in the bottom of your sock drawer for
the rest of time.

You feel unfulfilled at never having written the novel you know you had in you.

Does this sound familiar?

  • You’re sick of rereading and never writing anything new

  • You know there’s a simpler way to get words on the page

  • Your writing sessions are sporadic

  • You feel lost in the story

  • You’re tired of feeling like you’re not good enough

  • You’re staying up at night worrying about this unfulfilled dream

Hi, I’m Annika.

I coach writers and aspiring authors on how to plan, start and finish their manuscripts so they can get published.

I know first hand that writing a novel, and fitting the practice into your life, is HARD.

I studied two creative writing degrees and multiple writing courses and while I knew I could write, I still had no idea how to write the beast that is the novel.

I worked as bookseller for years, engaging with the ground level of the book market, and then I went on to work for Australia’s largest independent publisher.

It took me a while, but I finally cracked the code. I found my way through a plan and structure that felt so simple, I’d wished someone laid it out for me years ago.

Now, I’m on a mission to help people stuck in the novel-writing trenches, so you can finish that dang manuscript and become a published author.

Are you ready to stop dreaming and take action?
