coaching

Tanja helped me jumpstart my ‘book,” the one that’s been lying around in my office on sticky notes and scraps of paper for 22 years. She’s a master at conveying the process of writing, how to focus and what to do when you’re starting to go in circles and feel overwhelmed. I’ve gotten perfect coaching and great tools to stay on task, but more than that, insights into both the mechanics and heart of writing that bring me wholeheartedly into the process. –-Kim Mooney, Thanatologist.

Tanja is more a “book therapist” than coach because she’s experienced firsthand a writer’s inner critic saying, “No one wants to hear your story.” Offering the perfect balance of “Do better” with “You can do it,” she’s capable of simply getting authors to sit butt in chair and write. Even as a professional writer myself, I couldn’t have committed to my memoir without her compassionate guidance. –Heather Mundt

Writing Coaching

I offer writing 1-on-1 coaching for a select few who’d like to work with me individually. If you’re looking for a more cost-effective solution, please consider my online courses.

If you’re interested in writing coaching, we have three options for working together:

Option 1: Power Hour

Maybe you need clarity and focus with a current writing project, or help getting started. Perhaps it’s big picture feedback or a list of specific questions that you need help with. One hour of laser-focused coaching with me can save you lots of time, effort and frustration. You’ll leave this call with clarity and next steps to help you move forward.

Investment: $250

Option 2: Write Now!

You’ve got an idea but aren’t sure how to start. Maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve written … or you’ve started a project, then gotten stuck. I’m here to help you break through the blocks and help you move forward.

We’ll meet twice a month for 3 months to clarify your topic and goals, address craft and technique, create a writing schedule that works for you, tackle any sticking points you have, and get you the accountability and support you need.

2 calls/month via video conference or phone.
10 pages of manuscript review/month.
Craft and technique coaching, training and resources.
Support, coaching and resources for inner critic and writer’s block.
Accountability and support. In between calls, you’ll send me a weekly progress report to stay accountable.

Investment: $475/month for 3 months

Option 3: Write Your Book!

We’ll partner together to help you create your world-changing book—the one you’ve been longing to write!

Write Your Book coaching is for those who aren’t sure where to begin their book, as well as for those who’ve stopped and started—or gotten stuck in the mucky middle. I’m here to support you at every point of the journey.

There are two ways for us to work together to get your book written. Both of the options below will help you clarify you your focus, narrow your book’s audience and goals, and create a roadmap for your book. We’ll set up a consistent writing schedule that works for you, highlight craft and technique to make your writing shine, and help you get past sticking points. Write Your Book coaching will give you the support and accountability you need to get your book written
