1:1 Writing Coaching with Gemma Hartley

If you’re a writer who wants to carve out more time for your creative pursuits, and make money doing it, I am here to set you on the fast track to success. I’m a busy mom of three school age kids, and have built my writing career from the ground up since they were still in diapers. 

I wrote and published a best-selling nonfiction book on the mental load and emotional labor with HarperCollins. I delivered my manuscript on a six-month deadline with kids who were two, four and six at the time. Before that, I was earning over $6,000 a month as a freelance writer. Sound impossible? It’s not. It simply takes a plan, and I am here to help you create one. 

I teach my clients how to create the writing career of their dreams, whether that means earning enough to quit your day job or writing (and publishing) that book you’ve always dreamed about while you still work a day job (I’ve done both!). Coaching packages are all designed around your individual needs and schedule.

 

Your story matters. Let’s tell it.

I offer coaching to help you:

- Create the equitable space at home you need to pursue your writing

- Prioritize your writing time and overcome mental hurdles to get rid of the guilt

- Decide which stories you want to tell

- Develop a voice that is uniquely you

- Break into published writing step by step

- Sustain a schedule for writing while Momming

- Clarify your book idea and outline

- Create a book proposal that will capture an agent’s attention

-Learn the ins and outs of traditional publishing

3-month packages start at $1800USD. This includes 6 hours of in-person or Zoom meetings, plus email correspondence for editing, feedback, and notes.
