✔ Discounted 1:1 Coaching Support — Optional Add-On
If you’re looking for additional accountability and input, writers enrolled in the course can apply the following discounts to several of my one-on-one coaching services and products when you’re inside the course.
NOTE: These calls will need to be scheduled at least one week apart from each other and within four months of purchase.
Reduced Price for 1:1 Coaching
Get a 10% discount applied to the following one-on-one coaching packages to support you as you work through the materials:
- 10% off a one-time, one-hour coaching call (normally $125 USD)
- 10% off a one-time, one-hour coaching call with content review of up to 1000 words (normally $210 USD)
- 10% off package of 4 one-hour calls (normally $425)
- 10% off package of 4 one-hour calls with content review of up to 1000 words per call (normally $765 USD)
What this self-paced course won’t do:
- This course is not the 90-day program (that’s here and is only open periodically); this is a course for individuals to work through on their own—the same training content, but a DIY self-paced version.
- The material and resources won’t refer you to agents or publishers—Ann provides recorded instruction and input such as article and website links, but will not introduce you to industry professionals or gatekeepers.
- Self-paced video training does not provide or replace individualized coaching.
- This program will not focus in detail on your particular book concept—the training videos help you fine-tune your ideas and develop your proposal, but you’ll have to turn to a writing group, writing buddy, editor, or coach who works one-on-one for specific input on the content you craft.
- This course does not include proposal editing.
- This course does not guarantee a book contract—you’ll receive clear instruction on developing a proposal, but it can’t guarantee a successful outcome.
