Okay, you’ve got a book underway, or your idea is at the ready. Excellent! But sometimes, as you write, you wonder, is this going any place? Am I doing this right? Maybe you have writer’s block or would like professional guidance and encouragement to help you progress through your manuscript.
We can do that!
Our six-week program consists of the coach and the author putting their heads together and taking the book from the idea, or beginning, stages, through a completed framework for the book. The coach guides the author through each week’s writing and preparation and returns the author’s submission with thorough, encouraging, and detailed notes. The following day, the coach and author meet online or by phone to discuss the week’s work, clarify anything that needs explanation, brainstorm solutions, and build the author’s confidence.
Mary –
This bright and colorful picture book about various animals, with its whimsical illustrations of the creatures, will be fun for children to read or listen to. I thought the narrative would be more realistic, but it borders on silly at times, with anthropomorphic actions for some of God’s creatures, making one wonder if the scenes were chosen just to make the lines rhyme, and the very first page had a grammar error with the authorial I. Perhaps it would be better written all in third person. I would have preferred a more factual approach, which is what I expected from the opening words that introduce the text. The rhythm is fun, but it could be stronger in places for a richer reading experience. Little ones won’t notice these deficiencies and will simply enjoy the funny scenarios. I do appreciate the acknowledgement of God as the Creator of all. I received a copy from Celebrate Lit. All opinions are my own.
