I recently wrote an article on How Balance Supports You to Succeed as an Author. Creative balance means that you take care of your physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual well-being in addition to taking focused action to do your writing and connect with your audience.

When you are in balance, you ask for help when you need it and take the initiative when it is time to do what you need to do.

At the end of the article I included a quiz for you to see how creatively balanced you currently are.

After answering the 5 quick and easy questions, you tally up the scores. If you tick mostly (c)s and (d)s, this is what you’ll read, “you’ve made a good start but need to raise the bar further.”*

Raising the Bar on the Writer’s Journey means
knowing what you already have in place,
understanding precisely what you need to do next, and
applying yourself consciously and creatively to consistent action!

Yet many writers aren’t sure what they should be prioritising in order to make good progress with their writing and their authorship. And all writers benefit massively from the right kind of advice and accountability when it comes to taking action!

Raising the bar is an on-going theme which can be applied to every stage of writing for publication.

At the beginning, you need to raise the bar sufficiently to organise your ideas and make a start on your writing.

As you continue, you need to raise the bar to write regularly and effectively, and to prepare yourself and your work for presentation to agents and publishers - or to select one of the many self-publishing options available today.

You also need to raise the bar to engage with the marketing and promotion options that are right for you and your book, and to build a solid author platform.

The Raise the Bar Individual Coaching Program
has been created for writers at any stage of the writing journey to benefit from professional feedback, guidance, structure and support.

"I contacted Julia to work with her on a new book idea because I knew it had  a lot of potential and I wanted to make sure that I submitted the best possible proposal to my agent.

As a result of our work together, I greatly expanded my vision of what my book could offer people, deepened the processes within it and we also came up with exciting new title possibilities that would really best sum up what this unique book is truly about.

Julia is a true professional and deeply committed to helping her clients in the best possible way. If you are committed to your book in the same way that I am then I would wholeheartedly recommend that you work with Julia McCutchen."

"Julia’s How to Write the Ultimate Book Proposal Online Masterclass Course was excellent – well structured, inspiring and great fun to complete.

As a first time novelist, my descents into self-doubt have been frequent and fast. The Masterclass Course was a welcome parachute at first, then a source of uplifting thermals too.

The course has left me feeling prepared and professional in submitting my debut novel to agents, and the boost in confidence it’s given me is priceless.

I had to make an unscheduled submission to a publisher before I’d even finished the course, and the feedback on the proposal was great – ‘I was easily able to conclude that your approach and submission are clearly of a standard that I feel comfortable sharing with colleagues in-house.’ Apparently new authors can fly too … get the course!" Mark Rutterford author
