‘Absolutely brilliant!’
‘Absolutely brilliant! What a star you are, to be sure. Your coaching has unlocked a mystery for me. Now I know where I have been going wrong and what to do to put it right. You’ve absolutely made my day… thanks a million.’ Dave Robson, author and life coach
‘Subtle dance’
‘Although this may sound inappropriately mystical, our work together felt like a subtle dance exploring possibilities and drawing ever closer to the right way for me to proceed...
Thank you for your intelligent support and enthusiastic affirmation of my creative potential – it’s made a real difference to my ability to walk my unique path with confidence! ‘ Helen Moore, eco-poet and author of Changing Nature: Eco Notes of a Digital Woman (Greenseer Books, March 2006)

Mentor Programme
On-going support in the form of individual monthly coaching proves to be the right solution for many writers to make dramatic progress.
This 5 month programme provides structure and rhythm for:
- clarifying your ideas, getting started and keeping the momentum going …
- developing a solid writing practice and completing your manuscript …
- working on your book proposal or synopsis and sample chapters …
There is nothing quite like the joy of advancement which comes from working with an experienced mentor!

Here's what GP Neesha Mohan, author of Maya, has to say about her experience of working with me on the Mentor Programme:
" Within three months of joining Julia's Mentor Programme I completed the first draft of my book from scratch!
Initally I wanted to write non fiction. However, Julia's unique mentoring allowed me to discover my talents in fiction writing. Her expertise and intuition guided me gently through the unravelling of my story.
She seems to get to the heart of your individuality in a short time, enabling the essence of your message to pour onto the page. She is true to her message, that your writing should be 'from the inside out'.
I would recommend Julia's Mentor Programme to anyone who has ever thought of writing a book because it incorporates expert advice with a momentum that motivates you to achieve your goal."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This programme is perfect for you if you:
- are committed to taking action on writing your book for publication this year
- want to enjoy the benefits of regular information, support, advice and individual feedback
- are ready to 'fast track' your writing journey to ensure that you are not wasting precious time (in the knowledge that the path to publication takes time to complete!) without losing the quality of the experience or the end results
- understand the value of working closely with an experienced professional who has a proven track record and who knows the writing journey inside out
- know that having a mentor is the absolute best way to get the job done alongside all of the other commitments and priorities in your life

Sarupa Shah has this to say about her Mentor Programme experience:
"Before I met Julia, my approach to writing was that it was something outside of me, almost like a ‘job’. What I have discovered and experienced through my mentoring sessions with Julia is that writing is very much part of me.
It sounds simple but making that shift has impacted on my whole being as I have gone through a major personal transformation and journey to discover my true writing voice.
Having Julia’s on-going support means I continue to grow as she shares her wisdom, knowledge and insight filling me with confidence, inspiration and joy about my writing journey."

What's in the Programme?
-
1 hour of my personal undivided attention every month! The time is allocated to individual coaching (on the telephone) and reviewing material according to the priorities for that month ... one month you may need more coaching and less reviewing time and the next month the priorities may be reversed.
-
Email Write-in Day - once a month, in addition to your individual coaching time, you will be able to send me any questions you may have on a special pre-arranged Email Write-in Day.
This is also your chance to check in with me for that all-important accountability which will help you to keep your writing at the top of your priority list!
- I am also offering an additional BONUS:
A FREE place on the bi-monthly Ask the Author teleseminar interviews with published authors during your time on the Mentor Programme.
