‘Enjoyable & uplifting’
‘Working with you is so very enjoyable and uplifting. You make me feel like I am working at a professional level, even though I am really only a beginner.’ Lesley Stratton Hughes, author and life coach
‘First-class coaching skills’
‘Julia combines an incredible depth of knowledge & experience of the publishing world with first-class coaching skills …’ Dr Chris Johnstone, author of Find Your Power (Nicholas Brealey Publishing, May 2006) www.chrisjohnstone.info
‘Value for money’
‘We were looking for, and found in you, coaching through the minefield of publishing – that barrister-like “fresh pair of eyes” that could see right through to the nitty gritty of our work and advice on how best we could present our work to a publisher.
That kind of advice just isn’t available in books – even if you follow written advice to the letter, nothing compares to getting a specific opinion on your own creation.
As for results, well we achieved unexpected success (getting 3 offers out of 6 approaches to publishers), greater understanding of ourselves, as well as a sense of groundedness and self-belief that can sometimes go missing in the early days of writing.
Books simply do not compare to coaching… Your telephone consultations gave us support that was above and beyond my expectations. You give your time generously, always giving that bit extra, and making us feel in no doubt that we were getting value for money.
I can’t wait to write another book and use your services again. I would feel I stood a much bigger chance of being published with you on my side. Thanks for everything.’ Lucy Martin, co-author with Bella Mehta of Make It Your Business (How To Books, September 2006) www.ginasnannies.co.uk www.enspiral.co.uk

Coaching is an immensely powerful process which:
- unlocks the deepest levels of your creativity giving you access to your most inspired ideas …
- provides clarity and focus, structure and accountability for you to get your writing done ...
- enables you to be authentic and confident about presenting your book professionally and successfully to the marketplace …
I have worked with literally hundreds of people who want to write a book for publication, many of whom are writing for the first time.
For some, the dream of writing a book has been there for many years, often since childhood.
For others, it is a more recent idea or a strategic step to establish expertise and open the door to opportunity.
Whatever the motivation, the inside knowledge I have from my years as a publisher combined with my own experience as a writer and intuitive coach enable me to open the way for people on the path to publication.
