Voice Discovery Coaching

For folks who don’t know what their voice is or how they would use it, this program comprises three phases:

  • Discovering Your Voice
  • Developing Courage to Use Your Voice
  • Identifying Platforms (Media) for Your Voice

During each phase, you will complete a series of assessments and exercises that will pull you out of your comfort zone and into a space where you are able to connect with what your inner self wants to share with the world. You were created for a very specific reason and my job through this program is to help you identify that purpose and start walking in it.

Past participants have realized their callings to ministry, education, business, media, and arts. Your voice isn’t always about telling a story through written word or books. Some folks have shared their story through music, others through sculpture and painting. Some individuals have gone on to write several books, while others became CEOs and launched the company they dreamed of for years. Your voice has a unique presentation so we don’t box it in.

I’ve created both faith-based and standard programs that will help you best understand how to show up in the world as your true self. This program is NOT life or success coaching, though I can recommend some great coaches who offer those services (such as Bethany Perry, Dr. Sacheen Mobley). This is strictly for individuals who need to understand their voice and the best platform for sharing it with the world.

Once we identify your voice, we will develop the plan for the path forward, which may result in you working with another coach to develop your business strategy or work on relationships and life. My focus for coaching is to help people use their voice through the written word by empowering them to develop stories, music, poetry, scripts, etc. and connecting them with proper resources to help them in love and life.

If this service sounds like something you need, let’s discuss your needs to see if we’re a good fit for one another. If you only need a portion of the program, we will ensure that is all we do together. Our goal as we work together is to ensure you are equipped to share your story with the world in the most authentic way.

$Varies based upon number of sessions and follow up services. Offered for groups or on one-to-one basis.

Ghostwriting Services*

With ghostwriting, I write but you get all the credit. This means I don’t use your content as a writing sample or share it with other clients without your permission, but you pay a higher rate for this service. This is great if you have a personal brand and need to stand out without anyone being able to trace your work back to another writer. Services folks like to hire me for include:

  • Articles
  • Blogs
  • Books
  • Business documents
  • Curriculum development
  • Workshops
  • Webinars

With this service, we will jump on a few calls to talk about your project. This allows me to learn your voice. I will then write a draft, send it to you for approval, and provide a turnaround time for your feedback based upon our agreed schedule. We will do 1 – 2 edits depending upon the type and size of the project, and then I will share with you a final document. I will sign an NDA for you so you are covered in knowing that your project will not be discussed with others.

Wondering what I do as a ghostwriter? I shared some details in this post.

If you are interested in ghostwriting services, please fill out this screening form. I will respond within 2 business days.

*Any service can be purchased as a writing service as well. This just means you won’t pay the premium price and I will be able to share your content on my social media pages, on my LinkedIn page, and as a writing sample when asked by a client for samples of my writing for folks in their industry. Additionally, I can feature your website on my social media page in Client of the Month campaigns, etc. With this service, you still get all the glory of connecting with your clients while also allowing me to build a nice portfolio of meaningful clients who are engaging their audience in new ways thanks to our partnership.

$Varies by project and length. Ghostwriting is not an inexpensive option and I don’t offer discounts on these services. You make three payments: one in the beginning of the project, one in the middle, and one at the end. All payments are scheduled prior to beginning our work together so you know the payment timeline. Projects can range from a few thousand to tens of thousands depending upon the size and scope. We will review your end goals and the difference in price between ghostwriting and writing so you know which will be a better option for you moving forward.

(Payments are made through Zelle or FaceBook payments only.)

Blog Writing

Do you need someone to just take over your writing and connect with your audience using your voice? You take the credit, I will write the posts. We meet once a quarter* to discuss strategy for month and then I write 4 blog posts and accompanying social media updates (IG, FaceBook, Twitter, and LinkedIn) for you to share. If you would like more detailed services such as community management, I can help with those as well.

Prior to starting services, you will complete a worksheet and we will have a one-hour call to review strategy and voice. If you already have a blog, be sure to share what you dislike or struggle with currently as well as what you like about it and would like me to continue. Contracts vary from one year to three years; the longer the contract the more you will save.

$600 for four 750 – 1000 word posts and 4 social media updates ($500 without social media posts but you commit to share on social media)

$1000 – 2500 for four 750 – 1000 word posts and 4 social media updates per post PLUS community management (weekly engagement with your audience by responding to comments as appropriate and engaging on other blogs), varies based upon size of audience.

(Payments are made through Zelle or FaceBook payments only.)

Writing Coaching Calls

Similar to the Writing Strategy Calls, these calls focus on your project and how to complete them. The difference is these calls occur on a regular basis while the Writing Strategy Calls are only a one-time deal. This is the service you will want if you need accountability, guidance, and someone to walk with you through the writing process. We can meet weekly, monthly, or quarterly based upon your needs.

The calls are one-hour long and they will focus on your:

  • Book
  • Workshop
  • Webinar
  • Business Documents
  • Screenplay
  • Video Script

$Varies between $100 and $500 per call based upon type of project and frequency of calls. My structure is set up so the longer you will need me, the more you will save. (I want it to be cost-efficient for you and to reward you for committing to complete your project). You will sign a contract for the length of the project. There is a termination fee if you choose not to continue with your project, as the discount is based upon your goal to complete the project by a specific date.

(Payments are made through Zelle or FaceBook payments only.)

Writing Strategy Call

Are you trying to write but can’t seem to get anywhere with it? Do you have an idea but don’t know where to go with it? Are you stuck in getting moving or through a chapter of a book? Let’s connect to get you unstuck and moving forward with a clear path and actionable steps to help you reach your writing goals.

These one-time calls vary based upon the type and length of your project. They can last between 45 minutes to 3 hours depending upon the type of support you require and how stuck you are. Anything over 3 hours, I will suggest we do the Writing Coaching Calls, as they will be more helpful to you than having information shared that will be overwhelming. It will also save you money.

The Writing Strategy Call is for you if you are stuck while writing your:

  • Book
  • Workshop
  • Webinar
  • Business Documents
  • Screenplay
  • Video Script
  • Song
  • Speech

This call comprises any kind of writing that you may be doing outside of blog writing (as that is a separate service). One call per project. I will send you the quote for the call based upon a worksheet you will complete on which you share about your project so we can determine the scope. Be sure to have your elevator pitch ready so you can summarize your project for me, as that will help to ensure the appropriate service. If you don’t have one ready, be sure to note that you struggle in that area and we will add that to our scope.

If you will need more frequent help, or would like someone to walk with you through the process check out my Writing Coaching Calls.

$150 – $600 depending upon size and type of project.

At the end of the call, you will have 15 minutes to ask questions that can help you process the tips provided and share goals for moving forward.

About You…

Are you a small business owner, writer, aspiring author, or overworked marketing executive who has a story to tell but doesn’t know where to start? Don’t let another day go by without sharing your words with those who need to hear them. It’s time to give your audience the chance to hear your voice and engage with you on a deeper level.

Do you want to blog but don’t have time because you’re running a business – or just don’t know where to start? Let me take the burden off of you by doing the writing for you. With one call every quarter and short emails in between, I will write your blog in your voice to help you connect with current and prospective customers. We will look at engagement, redirect strategy when needed, and work together so you get the best results in relationship building and sales with minimal effort on your part.

Do you have business documents you need to create but don’t have time to do so because you need to build your business through sales – or do you not have the skills necessary to create them quickly? Let’s work together and I will develop content  for you that helps you grow your sales, reach new prospects and leads, and connect with your MQLs in a deeper way.

Are you a blogger who is struggling to gain traffic or develop content strategy? Let’s jump on a call so I can share with you some powerful and actionable steps relating specifically to your blog and its audience! I will review your blog and share things that relate to you versus giving you general tips a simple Google search would tell you to do.

Do you have a book you want to write but can’t seem to get beyond the title page? We can talk about your overall story, your desired audience, and where you are stuck. Then we will write your story through interviews, inspiration, and my skills being used under your name! As a ghostwriter, I don’t need credit for the stories I write. I sign non-disclosures with authors to ensure their ideas are protected and we never discuss who really wrote the book. In the end, it is truly their story that is published and I just empower them to tell it by expanding upon their thoughts using the gifts I have been granted while they continue to use theirs. If you simply need some coaching, I do this as well so you can experience the joy of writing your own story!

Do you have a class or workshop you are trying to develop curriculum for but keep getting stuck? Sometimes all people need is someone from the outside to hear their ideas and offer insight on how to move forward or things to think about as they develop their material. We can talk to determine if you simply need guidance, accountability, someone to help you get through the process, or whether you need someone to step in and write the content so you can free up brain space and energy for other things to help you accomplish your goals.

With several years’ of corporate, non-profit, and small business experience, I come prepared to help you with nearly any writing project. I specialize in blogs and books, spending most of my time in the past on books and having shifted my focus to blogs in 2018. I work with any size business and authors who have been published by major publishing houses as well as self-published. If you need help, I am here to serve you so your story can get into the right hands.

Connect with me today by calling me at 860.381.0693 or by clicking on the Let’s Connect! page to discuss your business or personal project. There is no project too small since I specialize in small business owners and entrepreneurs, independent authors, first-time authors, and small business publications. I will accept some big projects based upon how they fit with my skills. If I can’t help you, I will always do my best to guide you toward someone who can.

I look forward to talking with you!
